More Inspiring Young Awakenings

by freemindfade in

i just found these vidoes on youtube, maybe you have seen them already, but i thought i would share.

these canadian kids for me are courageous and inspiring.

more excellent public examples of non vitrial apostate awakening.

friendliness? well they are Canadian lol

Sorry can't skip an opportunity to tease Canadians, all in good fun. I do love canadians but also love to tease them.

They seem pretty sharp, I doubt they will become ministers of some other nonsense. I think there are a few rest stops on the way out, one is still believing in judeo christian faith (I never made that one) and the other is a form of agnosticism that keeps looking for higher power. Now some get stranded at those rest stops, I have a feeling now that they are free to think, and meeting lots of people, they wont get closed minded again. I hope

Kudos: for those of you who awakened with you significant others. You are so LUCKY!!!

by goingthruthemotions in

like the title says....those of you who made it out with you husbands or wives.

you people are so lucky!!!.

lucky because your wife or husband isn't brain dead and can think and reason for themselves.

Same situation here. I think it falls into this same thing "if there was something horribly wrong with this religion would you want to know? and if you were told could you even tell"? as of right now I think my wife would not want to know. no matter what. So I feel for you. Read this, and also watch the young couple in the videos I posted in another recent thread. Although I do feel they are lucky, it gives me some happiness to see the ones that weren't alone.

Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

by LAWHFol in

i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

"atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

Correction. They start as atheist vs theist. The theist is quickly devoured and the atheists and agnostics turn on one another in a philosophical debate about debating and words that by their very nature a varied and founded in a theological world.

The problem is the word GOD. As soon as it is used, a huge leap is made, this is undeniable. Atheist say they don't know and don't believe because historically the role filled by "God" known or unknown, has been explained away through knowledge, and this is likely to continue on. The that word in of itself if inflammatory and should have no place. If you don't say god no one has to say atheist.

Atheism is not unscientific nor is it scientific. It is lack of belief

now that I like. Why couldn't you have said that the fist comment after the op!! Lol. We could have avoided all this.

The OP is crap for insinuating

Atheism = Science!

let me derail this thing a little more since nobody is answering Cofty,

Atheism is not tantamount to science, brilliant observation in the OP, as we have seen, its just a label used to define. with that out of the way...

which have had a greater impact on the progress of science? Atheist? or Theists? Which have done more to inhibit science?

Now some of the early scientists/thinkers who suggested things like the sun being at the center, not the earth, and the universe being much grander, and who were also persecuted by the church as heretics, were theists. But overall...

which has had a greater impact on the progress of science? Atheist/atheism? or Theists/theism? Which has done more to inhibit science?

If no one had every made up a myth or a YHWH or whatever we would all be agnostic, that is their could be things beyond us unknown.

This fact has made "agnostic" mean more than one thing, would you not agree? Quite literally maybe it has one single definition, but it means different things to different people. In the purist meaning we all have to be. But outside of that, many "agnostics" believe there is something out there, its just undefined, they still slide into a belief they want to hold onto that is unfounded, and simply unknown.

Its a never ending circle jerk, why? because its worth debating? nope, because religion is such crazy notion it turns it into a hot mess to even discuss

I'll say it again,

Atheism (which honestly atheists wouldn't have to call themselves but I believe the name had to be made for religious folks primitive minds to understand we don't buy their bullshit god) is the lack of belief in a god(s), not a CLAIM they don't exist. I feel comfortable saying YHWH most certainly does not seem to exist. As for some undefined god, or just things we don't understand yet, no one can know.

Maybe we are a computer program, maybe we were engineered by another alien race, or maybe we are a dream... i could make a list a mile long, none of it is founded in anything.

At the end of the OP he says "Until this Hypothesis is Disproven, classifying yourself as an "Atheist" is Un-Scientific."

Well i agree... I think atheism is not scientific, its making up a word to tell religiots that we don't believe in their god, so atheism is born from theology so they can define us, not define ourselves.

Muslim? Im an Allah atheist

JW? I'm a jehovah atheist

_Morpheus? I'm a Thor atheist... although the ice giants new light was very compelling!

I blame religion and bigoted morons for there even needing to be a word "Atheist". We are all born "atheist" until someone pumps bullshit into our heads. Should I have to make a list of all the gods I don't believe in? Or be like science and concentrate on defining our reality throw knowledge and not blinding superstition. Atheist, atheism, its not our word not our fault. The quagmire that comes with it is the fault of people who need to define a god they can't and those who dont believe!

Because they never have a point, its like they didn't think it through. and ran out of road after someone asks that question.
