Deep Sight:

^^^ No, its not just for fun, some of them feel anger at dogma, some frustration at evil, etc.

These may be grounds to doubt the nature of God as described by religion, but not the existence of a prime mover.

And i did prove that prime mover - dont blame me if some people are not Deep Sighted enough to follow the logic.

1. 0 + 0 = 0, thus something cannot come out of nothing in the finite realm.

2. Accordingly, all things which have a beginning also have a cause (law of cause and effect).

2. The Universe had a beginning (Big Bang confirmed)

4. The Universe therefore had a Cause.

5. That Prime Mover/ First Cause is called God, as God is defined as Creator, and nothing more (forget religion).

What again?

KunleOshob:

What I mean is that one must be virtually insane to believe the universe with all it's complexities and diversities just happened by chance.

1. 0 + 0 = 0, thus something cannot come out of nothing in the finite realm.

Humanism is a perspective common to a wide range of ethical stances that attaches importance to human dignity, concerns, and capabilities, particularly rationality. Although the word has many senses, its meaning comes into focus when contrasted to the supernatural or to appeals to authority, refer to wikipedia

@KunleOshod and deep sight,

Believe me, dats one thing that puzzles me till date, i was chatting with one renowned athiest online by name of PROF. CHACY GATESTAY to ascertain the reasons for their arguments

excerpts from an online chat, though incomplete

1. He said Athiesm is not a religion, ok i said, so what is it? He said "they are a movement (not religion) that chooses to see life from a PYCHOLOGICAL point of view

2. How do you mean Psychological? i asked again and He said "Pychology beleives and operates based on what we see, feel , hear , smell and touch, then i asked him, wouldnt that mean more of a religion we can call "PHYSICALISM" (i just chose the word for him ) then he said "yeah yeah if i want to call it that but we aint no religion"

3. Then i suggested to him thus "perhaps dont you guys really need to proclaim to the world at large that you have a new religion and you choose to call it PHYSICALISM, then he screamed online, "oh no no no, we athiest never want to be identified with any religion"

4. Again i asked him, "if you dont want to be associated or identified with any religion, but you choose to accept whatever your senses tell you, then you could be fitted into the religion of FREETHINKERS" [/b]again he said no, then i asked him, what then do you guys really want

5. He said we are a MOVEMENT (not religion ) and as a movement our assignment is to enlighten the world that what they claim as religion is nothing but a delusion [b]then i said congrats then you definitely have a religion called ANTAGONISM, [/b]because my point to him was that [b]every human on earth is a RELIGIOUS ENTITY whether you choose xtianity, islamism, buddism, animalism or paganism, the roots is that you believe in something, even though if not the existence of a supernatural being but the inexistence of a supernatural being.

ATHIEST or whatever you guys call yourself, pls come out and own up, lets know who you guys really are, lest your religion i will call HYPOCRISM 

Tonye-t:

@Tudor,

You see why i said you guys are so confused, imagine you crying foul over the mention of the religion 'Antagonism'. That term for you info means "having hatred for something thereby causing ill will". And all my life i have never come across any athiest who has so much hatred for Christianity than yourself.

Even your so called professors dont even knwo why they oppose what they oppose. Maybe the better religion for all athiests is CONFUSIONISM 

Or Maybe you are even faking yourself as an Athiest in the first place. Mr.Damn Damn Damn 

Athiests - Bunch of confused folks  I feel pity

RELIGION:
System: An institutionalized or personal system of beliefs and practices relating to the divine
Obsession: An object, practice, cause, or activity that somebody is completely devoted to or obsessed

Tonye-t:

Tudor,

abuses and insults connotes signs of childishness you know!, its doesnt take people any where irrespective of their opinions or beliefs

Now to answer your question


And the list goes on and on,now on the side of obsesseion isnt that what you guys (athiests) do here all day? obsessed about either christianity or islamism and their Gods. With that i say athiesm is a religion, u guys should come up and tell us which sect of your religion you belong. If you throw abuses again i wont reply u, do you understand? behave maturedly for once

huxley:

I have agonised over many years about whether, in addition to holding an atheistic worldview, I should also hold a materialistic worldview. For many years, I have called myself a naturalist, disavowing all forms of the supernatural. A naturalist basically claims that everything that exists in the universe (or metaverse) can be explained in purely natural form. Thus, a naturalist claims that if it turns out that a "supernatural" realm does exist, this realm is actually a manifestation of the generality of the natural, and would become subsumed into the natural.

On the other hand, a materialist makes the claim that ONLY the material world exist and everything in the universe (or metaverse) is a manifestation of matter in one form or the other. I have found it hard to square materialism with my knowledge of the feature of the universe?

Over the last few months, I have been looking at some research in what is generally term the paranormal, and am quite impressed with some of the results of work in this area. What stands out clearly is that the paranormal is amenable to being studied by naturalistic means. What also stands out is that there is a lot which cannot yet be explained using existing materialistic theories. Checkout the following two lectures:

1) Dean Radin

2) Rupert Sheldrake
