to be honest, i...my last first sentence was a joke<br /><br />to be honest, i think atheists<br />and the religious are more similiar than either<br />to the agnostic.<br />i'll take confusion over belief anyday.<br /><br />i think emotions<br />are as intirinsic to humans<br />as the "god-archetype"<br /><br />people who think gods are extrinsic,<br />totally seperate from us<br />are plain ol' fools<br />as are people who think god is everything<br />and yet there is still a battle between<br />good and evil<br />and evil is seperate from god.<br /><br />to me, it's obvious that<br />"the creator of the universe" is each individual-<br />we create/perpetuate our own "reality"<br /><br />you really can't prove anything exists<br />beyond your own senses<br />and you don't need to<br /><br />why, jesse, why!!!!!?<br />why do we as a species<br />seem to need to prove<br />or disprove things?<br />is it some sort of powerplay?<br /><br />jesus, save me from your followers...Big Swayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365984157878287365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15591962.post-57789149747545928432009-05-04T13:01:00.000-07:002009-05-04T13:01:00.000-07:00Hmm, I don't know if I agree Ray. Atheists believe...Hmm, I don't know if I agree Ray. Atheists believe that there is NO higher power, period. Agnostics believe that the verdict is unattainable. <br /><br />True, you cannot prove an emotion. Personally, I think that is because emotions are something intrinsic to human beings. It is inside of our minds, and not out in the physical world (sorta-fMRI technology is changing this front). <br /><br />However, the way that "higher powers" are typically framed is as something that is extrinsic to humans, ie. the creator of all of the universe. If that is the case, I need some proof to believe in it the same way that I believe in fear and love.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629138613727829706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15591962.post-85255712910365207882009-05-04T12:34:00.000-07:002009-05-04T12:34:00.000-07:00atheists are just anti-religious agnostics. i don...atheists are just anti-religious agnostics. i don't have a religion, but i believe there are things at work beyond ourselves; i can't prove this, but i've experienced it. i can't prove love or fear, but i've experienced both. a "higher power" is merely one of many experiences beyond proof.Big Swayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365984157878287365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15591962.post-56710307910287890372009-04-28T13:14:00.000-07:002009-04-28T13:14:00.000-07:00I am of all religions and of none,

I see nothing wrong with that, especially since now there are "ads" on the side of San Francisco buses for Islam. <br /><br />As for religion, whatever floats your boat is fine with me, as long as you are not hurting yourself or others. Or evangelically trying to get me to join or give you money. God (or whatever) is about peace, acceptance and love, not money, fame or righteousness.Liz Dembskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928422035566284563noreply@blogger.com
