The Atheist's Heap Of Science And Superior Reason

edited 2013-04-19 13:02:12 in General
Last night, my aunt died. My parents asked me to attend her funeral, but I said NUH-UH. I'm not attending a Christian funeral, 'cos that would mean going to mass and listening to some dumbass talk about this fairy-tale "God". 

"God" doesn't exist, punks. He's nothing but an outdated fiction pretentious people cling to because they can't comprehend superior human reason. Laugh at me? Well, I'll be the one laughing when I die contented and you die questioning why your fairy tale "God" didn't take you to "Heaven". Suck it, plebs. My superior reason > any stupid make-believe Santa Claus for adults.

    Sam Harris

    Sam Harris (born 1967) is the central figure of modern philosophy. His writings on ethics, the philosophy of religion, and the problem of free will have transformed the ways that undergraduates have conceived these and related subjects and, indeed, all subjects.1

    Utilitarianism

    Sam Harris argues that utilitarianism. Take that, Christians!

    Religion

    Sam Harris argues that atheism. Take that, Christians!

    Free Will

    Sam Harris once read a book about free will. Then he wrote one. Take that, Christians!

  • That's nothing. Once I went in the middle of a chapel during a marriage and yelled "YOUR FALSE GOD CANNOT BIND TWO PEOPLE!".

    They kicked me out afterwards and a lot of my "friends" wouldn't talk to me afterwards. I guess they can't see the power of HUMAN REASON

    You not liking my religion doesn't make it any less awesome for me.

    Besides, God doesn't have to abide by concepts such as reason.  He could exist and not-exist at the same time.  He doesn't have to make sense.

  • "It is a matter of grave importance that Fairy tales should be respected.... Whosoever alters them to suit his own opinions, whatever they are, is guilty, to our thinking, of an act of presumption, and appropriates to himself what does not belong to him." -- Charles Dickens

    "I'm a rationalist! That means I've realized that 'God' is a made-up emotional crutch for weaker minds. Just like my predecessors Descartes, Pascal, Leibniz...

    ... uh, damn. Can I start over?"

    Yeah, but even if you proved that God is nonexistent; that doesn't mean that He's not existent.  He could be existent and nonexistent at the same time.  He could exist despite truth; because He defines truth.

    He's God.   He's limitless and omnificent and Omnipotent.

  • OK, I might as well tell you guys what's pissing me off.

    So basically, someone really dear to a guy I know died. Since said someone was pretty Christian, they decided to give her Catholic rites and stuff. When some asshole atheists got wind of it, they started saying basically the most stereotypical strawman atheist shit ever. 

    To think that someone could even be that callous pisses me off, frankly.
  • i went to see BATS live and they opened with

    "Hi. We're BATS. We're from dublin. all of our songs are about science."

    "and once we wrote a song about a dragon."

    "well that was kind of about science too, chemistry vs. biology..."

    and then they just launched into STEM CEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLS

    "Scientism" isn't a real thing. It's just something that religionists have made up in order to justify a rejection of metaphysical naturalism and/or empiricism.

    Because they know deep down that atheism is a logical consequence of empiricism.

    Mind if I interrupt this thread for a moment to agree with sunn and Naney that BATS is pretty awesome?

  • i had not listened to BATS before this thread


    i will be listening to them much more in the future

    good job, i only had to post about them continually on several sites for just about 4 years

    though all sarcasm aside BATS basically just own and should have all of the fans they can get. especially since their record label just disintegrated a few months ago

  • i think i had seen you mention them a few times before, but not more than that


    w/e
  • im being facetious and dumb, basically i have just liked them for a long time and prolly posted them a couple of times max

    you dont have to listen to every youtube i post (but it will make you a better and more well rounded person if you do)
