The theists', or the atheists'?
That is if we all agree to the conclusion that both are living within a closed box made of ideologies or conceptual thoughts.Which of the two parties have more "headroom" in their respective boxes when it comes to their worldviews?

I would say atheism considering how broad the philosophy can be. Atheists can be anything from buddhist to humanists to communists or evolutionists. Atheism provides more wiggle room and less dogma.

Spot on my man.

That your "ideological box" may be bigger is of little to no consequence. It's about quality not quantity.

You may have more "headspace" and "wiggleroom" to fit in a smorgasbord of assorted beliefs or lack thereof, but what is it worth if they be of empty of soulful conviction, puffed up but impotent, characterized by an absence of true life-changing power?

We need to lose this false mentation that implies the more you allow in, the better of a human being you are.

I won't consider a religion that can't agree on the contents of it's holy text to be that qualitative (there are different versions of the bible right?). The enormous amounts of Christian sects tells me quantity isn't a problem for them either.

You have jumped from one goal post to another. How do you know this power you believe in is life changing? Isn't it possible to have a non-interventionist God? there is no assorted belief, just a disbelief in God and you are on your own.

   There is one bible - different versions, each pandering to the many different cultures and hence different understandings of a singular text. This is by no means an indictment on the bible itself. It would be by far more accurate to designate blame to the adherents, and not the religion.

You have jumped from one goal post to another. How do you know this power you believe in is life changing? Isn't it possible to have a non-interventionist God? there is no assorted belief, just a disbelief in God and you are on your own.

Didn't shift at for a even a micrometer, just merely pointed out 2 different gaping flaws in the "my theological box is bigger than yours" position. I know there is power and that it is of life-changing quality because I have experienced it personally and have never been the same since. But please, my experience is not truth for everyone else, they'll live out their own walks and decide for themselves what to believe or disbelieve.

Anything wrong with "just a disbelief in God and you are on your own"? . . . depends on who you're asking. I believe the bible and so I say yes, there's something wrong with that, and you obviously believe otherwise. Who's right? well isn't the age-old question . . .

but anyways, my main motive was to disabuse the poster of the false notion that partaking of or being open to an assortment of various ideologies makes one a better human being.

i disagree with you because i don't reason that we athiests reason inside an ideological box. The walls of the box have been knocked down the moment u stopped believing in religious dogma. So your reasoning has no boundaries, there are no walls. Its the the theist who believes that an old man created the planet 6'000 years ago who reasons inside the box. And the box is 6000 years in lengh and 6'000 years in width according thier beliefs.

Lets get some things straight. . . . . . .

1. Atheists live in an ideological box. This is simply because in the face of all evidence, they have ruled out the possibility of an intelligent being creating the world. This is called a DOGMA. this is also rather unintelligent as we all can see that the chances of "things" being as they are now without an intelligent old man in the sky are one in infinity.

2. atheism is also a religion. depends largely on ur understanding of a religion. . . .a religion is simply defined by faith. the subject of atheism is the disbelief in the existence of God, this simply requires FAITH as there is no scientific, intellectual or logical evidence that supports this assertion.
So we can infer that an atheist is a religious person who lives in a religious dogma that denies the existence of God, without any scientific knowledge, but based solely on the premise of FAITH.

3. where in the bible did u deduce that the earth was created 6,000 years ago? for all we know. . .there was a time-gap between genesis 1:1 and genesis 1:2
. . .so where did u get ur assertions from?

The walls of the box have been knocked down the moment u stopped believing in religious dogma. So your reasoning has no boundaries, there are no walls

I can think of at least one boundary that your reasoning has: the boundary of the possibility of the existence of a Deity.

If you are truly open minded, you will accept that that is a possibility, just like all the other possibilities that you accept.

But dogmatically, you insist that all other possibilities may exist, EXCEPT THAT ONE.

Isn't that contradictory?

  Homeboy, if you declare atheism is what currently floats your boat, lemme break this to u: you've never stopped being dogmatic, you've simply exchanged your religious dogmas for secular ones.

   Because neither the faithful nor the faithless can definitively prove what they[b] believe[/b] to be truth. Like it or not, anyone in possession of any kind of belief system, moral or religious, is in a box . . . and that is not a bad thing.

What has Athiesm got to do with Faith? You don't even know what the word faith means. I got on a train last week i picked up a discarded newspaper i was reading an aricle about a russian hunter who stumbled across some bones that turned out to belong to a dinosaur that went extinct about 250 millon years ago. Thats what i call facts evidence and simple logic to believe that its true not faith

Well don't tell me that the Earth is 250 million years old or 4 billion years old. According to biblical calculations the age of the earth can be estimated by taking the first 5 days of creation (from earth’s creation to Adam), then following the genealogies from Adam to Abraham in Genesis 5 and 11, then adding in the time from Abraham to today.

Adam was created on Day 6, so there were 5 days before him. If we add up the dates from Adam to Abraham, we get about 2,000 years, using the Masoretic Hebrew text of Genesis 5 and 11.3 Whether Christian or secular, most scholars would agree that Abraham lived about 2,000 B.C. (4,000 years ago).

So a simple calculation is:

5 days
+ ~2000 years
+ ~4000 years
______________
~6000 years

I think that you all do by the very act of reasoning itself.The parameters by which you all reason can also be as fixed and immovable as the faith based doctrines of theists.And those parameters are based squarely on the belief that everything has to be quantifiable and verifiable scientifically, meaning that all the natural processes and elements in the material universe has to be testable scientifically in the laboratory to be accepted as real.That anything that cannot be perceived through the 5 senses can not exist.That is paradigm, a dogma that is as rigid as the religious ones, hence the box.

Mostly atheists depend on and base their arguements about the way our existential realities function around the findings on scientific researches, so how do they(atheists) deal with the new informations coming out from such researches to the mainstream now that the reality we all experience extends far beyond the 5 senses?That our 5 senses, on which we depend so much on to enable us to make sense of our world, are not telling us the whole truth about that reality?The very same realm made out of non-matter, that atheists deny the existence of because they cannot be perceived through the senses, has been confirmed by the scientific community to be even more real than the material world of sensory perception itself.

How do atheists incorporate that into their non-belief of the non-material realms without shattering that very box?

My point is that the very determination demonstrated by atheists not to accept or atleast entertain the possibility of the existence of the supernatural can be seen as a dogmatic box in itself.

1. Atheists live in an ideological box. This is simply because in the face of all evidence, they have ruled out the possibility of an intelligent being creating the world.

What evidence exactly? You have NEVER persented any evidencve to show that the god you talk about exist at all, all you do is offer special pleading and point to the existence of other things as evidence for the existence of your god but the problem is that what we see around are evidence for environment NOT evidence for your god. . . .your god has clearly defined attribute written in the bible and that we do not see around at all. . . . .even christians do not agree on the BASIC nature of who this god you talk about is and that is a FACT. You talk about evidence but you never talk about if your god is detectable. . . Is your god dectable? Do you detect him because he is there or because you have been brought up and indoctrinated to detect and believe in what is not there?

If this god you guys talk about is detectable, shouldn't everyone who detects it be able agree about its properties? It should be as simple as agreeing about properties of gravity, no?

Why would there be need for 35,000 different christian denominations each fighting with each other over meaning of ancient text to show that their god exist?

This is called a DOGMA. this is also rather unintelligent as we all can see that the chances of "things" being as they are now without an intelligent old man in the sky are one in infinity.

Do you have any evidence to show that there is an old man in the sky? Which part of the sky does he reside in? How come your old only exist ONLY on the pages of ancient text? The worst problem for christians and other religionist is that your bible(koran etc) are all there for people to read and any body that reads them know that they are exactly the thoughts, wishes, mythologies, fantasies of OTHER MEN who wrote down their history and geneologies according to their world view and understanding of things nothing more. . . .You have NO evidence for a jewish old man floating in the sky all you have are your own assumptions and the assumptions of others that have been indoctrinated into you as a result of emotion, social and societal upbringing. . . .

2. atheism is also a religion. depends largely on your understanding of a religion. . . .a religion is simply defined by faith. the subject of atheism is the disbelief in the existence of God, this simply requires FAITH as there is no scientific, intellectual or logical evidence that supports this assertion.

There are millions of young earth creationist that believe that the world is about 6000 years old. . . .So the question is why would your god allow some of the people that believe in him to believe that the earth is about 6000 years old when its not? The problem is that your god is just not there and every body is self projecting himself as god using the bible and the assunptin that the god it talks about is true to create their own world view. . . .Why do christians not agree on anything? We have young earth creationist, those that believe in a global flood and those that don't and each of them use the bible to support their postulations. . . .Why all the confusion?

based on the premise of alternatives. . .we can start by saying that there is NO basis to assume/believe that the earth as we see it is a random occurrence or a product of evolution/bigbang.

with that in mind we can look at evidences from every day life , . including
a. reproduction. the ability of man to reproduce and not to evolve can only be credited to the art of creation.
b. time. the notion of time is interesting . . . it is more interesting to know that time as we know of it has a beginning. the beginning points to a period in time when life kick started.
life as we know of it today is of an intelligent form. . . . .it would require a more intelligent being to create an intelligent life. the complexity of species rules out the possiblity of all species evolving from a denominator. the diversity of all living things buttresses the notion of an intelligent being to see through the beautiful visualization of life as we currently see it.
c. evolution. it is very disturbing that man has "stopped" evolving. why do all men die and not evolve?
d. biblicel/creation notions. The intelligent being who created the earth stated His case in the bible. It might intreast u to know that most of these claims recorded in the bible in antedeluvian age are verifiable in this new era of scientific knowledge.
the photosyntetic nature of the gardden of eden, the irrigation, cultivation and general farming modus operandi for the garden, the art of creating light et all . . . .points directly to this.

true indeed.

its a case that God has been substituted in ur limited understanding for environment. Its amazing that many of us can still distinguish between the hands/work of God and the ontology of an environment. it would be fun to know how the environment kick started life and what EXACTLY preceded the environment. I await ur answers in deep breadth.

Do you have any evidence to show that there is an old man in the sky? Which part of the sky does he reside in? How come your old only exist ONLY on the pages of ancient text?

The day you provide a single scientific evidence to show that your god exist is the day some of us will begin to take you as a serious person. . . .

please permit my sarcasm. . . but the above is gullible.
what other scientific evidence do u require? is reproduction or the photosynthetic "tools" (including the sun and rainfall) not verifiable?

So if God inspires men to write words of wisdom and salvation and also inspires men to teach such words, . . . why do u have a problem with the liberty of God?

2. almost on every thread u sing about how God should not be this or that. . , . . ur position reflects ur individual and personalised definition of God. unfortunately ur understanding of God has been rebuffed severally to be untenable. . . . . yet u keep . . . . .

b. time. the notion of time is interesting . . . it is more interesting to know that time as we know of it has a beginning. the beginning points to a period in time when life kick started.

Even during goat herder days they all knew that reproduction was what was responsible for how people came about no? Everybody knows that life had to begin at a certian point no?

life as we know of it today is of an intelligent form. . . . .it would require a more intelligent being to create an intelligent life. the complexity of species rules out the possiblity of all species evolving from a denominator. the diversity of all living things buttresses the notion of an intelligent being to see through the beautiful visualization of life as we currently see it.

Where is your scientific evidence to disprove the TOE and show that species did not evolve? I am not saying that species evolved all I am is why should people accept your baseless hypothesis?

c. evolution. it is very disturbing that man has "stopped" evolving. why do all men die and not evolve?

This is just a very silly creationist starw man. . . . . .

ACTUALLY the current scientific knowledge we posses had shown that the creation myth in genesis is a lie and can not be reconciled with science that is why some of your own people are throwing it away and refering to it as an allegory. . . .All what science has verified points to EVOLUTION not to the myth written down in the book of genesis. . . . .so farming is now an evidence for intelligent design eh? I laugh in greek. . . . . .The writers of the genesis account do not know what phtosynthesis means. . . they had their god creating plants before creating the sun and the stars . . . .In some parts of the bible they said their god created the world from water. . . .modern scıence does NOT agree with this. . . . stop telling lies science DOES not support or verify any part of the creation myth you subscribe to. . . .

if atheism has no connection with FAITH. . .what EXACTLY is your evidence that suggests that there is no God.

The FACT that all the evıdence you have to point to your god are ONLY stories written by men according to their world view says he just is not there. . . . .Just a question for you how does your god look like? You should be able to answer this question sınce you ınsist that your god exist. . . .How does your god look like and what type of cloth does he wear since your bible says that he used to stain his cloth with the blood of those that worship other gods. . . .

this is not rocket science. . . . .just tell me how many years lie between genesis1:1 and genesis 1:2?

The FACT is that genesis 1 and 2 were NOT written by the same person. . . .
