It was brought to us by the Great-Grandaddy himself and should never be forgotten. Moose, you know what to do to absolve yourself of this heinous crime.

I forgot, am I supposed to whip myself up with string cheese or walk on my knees whilst chanting our secret anthem from the "wink, wink, nod, nod" 2008 hymn book ?

Has the cleansing ritual of bathing in chocolate dip been approved by the general council of luminaries yet or is it still in the offing ?

Cyber secret handshake to you , my brothers and sisters in doubtfulness . With a cherry on top.
Remember, loose lips kill, and some heretics are trying to infiltrate and destroy us. Keep alert at all times.

Its been fun reading your satire, it shows a common bond among non believers.
So all of you that post on this religion and philosophy forum. Have no religion and no philosophy.
What is the goal? Each one of you are separate, yet joined in purpose as unbelievers, spreading unbelief. What is that all about?
Is there a need for a non believer science driven forum?

godspeed,

freedom

We just like to have fun! That's the purpose and you only live once so we take advantage of every opportunity to go berzerk. I don't really want to spread anything or convince anyone.

It's not true that someone who doesn't have a religion doesn't have a philosophy. The philosophy that makes the most sense to me is secular humanism and I'm sure that a number of other atheists are drawn to certain aspects of humanism as well. We post on the religion and philosophy forum because that's the purpose of the forum, to discuss various ideas of a religious or philosophical nature. It may be true that unbelievers desire to spread unbelief, I know I do, but it can certainly be said that believers are very active in spreading their beliefs which they have every right to do. I personally just enjoy debating these topics because I find them interesting and I also enjoy talking to like minded individuals as well as religious people I've gotten to know on the forum. So what I'm saying freedom is that all of us, including yourself, are just engaging in free speech and trying to express our personal points of view.

...And even atheists can have a genuine interest in religion and philosophy.

It helps us to understand.

Excellent, a genuinely clear answer. Thankyou, this helps me to understand much better, why you post in this particular forum.

If a non believer was so inclined, i would like to see a thread based on the philosophy of Secular Humanism, i have really no idea what that might look like, and it may be interesting to see if other non believers have similar or varying opinions of what that may be, and if any believers would find common ground on the subject.

godspeed,

June is all for finding "common ground."

I'm not atheists but I find that they seem to be unable to grasp anything that is "not" concrete about God, but the abstract is everything to them when it comes to science. they seem to apply the complex, deep, and transcendent to science, BUT they are not able to pierce, and distinquish past science into the spiritual. there is no natural material path to God, only spiritual, and since they can't put God under a microscope they can't "sight" God who is beyond science.

you have to take a spiritual journey past science to be able to "witness" God as both actual and transcendent, all at the same time without anything taken from either expression of himself. God is "Occurring Existance that IS." this is always God no matter where in time you stand. God's always operating in the now which moves for us as past, present and furture.

atheist's are just people who lack spiritual essence, heart, viability and breath. they live not in the spirit thus they are spiritually dead/non-responsive. they are people of the earth and sky, and saddly nothing more. any hope the atheist has is limited to only whatever experiences the earth and sky can give and science can tell. they think of only now, since to them there is nothing beyond death, because to them death is the finish of all men with no God to answer to hereafter.

grasping God is not for those fastened to their 5 senses for security and balance in comprehensive survival known to atheist as life. grasping God is for those who have come to know living doesn't start until one has died to/refuse to depend on, or lean on, in anyway those things that are, and do, rust, rot, decay and die.
