It is either used by a female or to describe a female.Again, the PDA in the ad is not offensive. It's just strange to use this particular word in it. |

Nothing wrong with not believing in a trinity. There's no "trinity" in the Bible.Agreed. The Holy Trinity was a diplomatic compromise reached at the Council of Constantinople. Islam rejects the Holy Trinity as blasphemous. |

The weak definition of "atheist" has all but disappeared from usage. For all intents and purposes, the current meaning of atheist is to deny the existence of god, and the current meaning of agnostic is to suspend one's thinking regarding it. Anyone who believes the two words are synonyms is desperately trying to increase the population of their camp, for some reason.Unlike pink unicorns and the boogie man, there *is* evidence of a God/creator/originator. If that evidence could be definitively refuted, our current religions would have disappeared a long time ago, like the Roman and Greek gods and goddesses. What your basically saying is that humans need religion for morality, which is patently untrue. Morality is not based on religion but instead based on the social contract, which basically states that in order to get the benefits of living in a social group one needs to adhere to certain rules. The development of morality and an innate moral sense was necessary for the evolution of a social species, and what allows humans to live harmoniously in a group. Oh really? The Romans were cool with raping of servants on a whim and fucking your siblings for the purpose of having children by them. Religious law is what put an end to that, if not we'd have diluted our gene pool to have even more blithering idiots out there than we have right now. People can *very easily* have their concept "morality" twisted and inverted; all you need is a charismatic leader. Religion is useful for stopping that (just as easily as it can cause it). |

The weak definition of "atheist" has all but disappeared from usage.Really? Why then do Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris still use it? For all intents and purposes, the current meaning of atheist is to deny the existence of god, and the current meaning of agnostic is to suspend one's thinking regarding it. Anyone who believes the two words are synonyms is desperately trying to increase the population of their camp, for some reason. I admit the language is rather cumbersome on this issue; it has served to create ambivalence on the issue of the existence of God when there in fact should be none. Atheism, in the correct form as espoused by rational people is the natural conclusion of processes that examine the world and evidence in it. “Agnosticism” is not some form of “sub-atheism”, as the reasoning of agnosticism, which of course means withholding belief in God until there is evidence, is identical to rational atheism. Unlike pink unicorns and the boogie man, there *is* evidence of a God/creator/originator. If that evidence could be definitively refuted, our current religions would have disappeared a long time ago, like the Roman and Greek gods and goddesses. And what exactly is that evidence? >>>>>What your basically saying is that humans need religion for morality, which is patently untrue.

Religious law is what put an end to that, if not we'd have diluted our gene pool to have even more blithering idiots out there than we have right now. The Romans had religion, pre-Christianity (those gods and goddesses you mentioned). And why then did this “religious law” not stop the Christians from raping, enslaving, torturing or slaughtering whole ethnic groups of people? People can *very easily* have their concept "morality" twisted and inverted; all you need is a charismatic leader. Religion is useful for stopping that (just as easily as it can cause it). Oh you mean like Osama bin Laden? And numerous popes? And David Koresh? And Mohammed? Right, religion does a great job of stopping charismatic leaders from twisting people’s morality. Seems you got things ass-backwards my friend; religion has been an excellent tool that charismatic leaders have used to inflict all manner of evil upon the world. Its record of stopping such abuses has not been as stellar… |

As Selkirk pointed out, these were hawkers of state religions. Communism and Nazism are dogmatic doctrines that are held by their followers with complete suspension of rational scrutiny with the fervor of Christian or Muslim crusaders. And like all religions, they have lead to enormous human suffering. |

Absolutely ... and religion can also be an abuse of power. Where I was going with it is that even when there's no "official religion" then "leaders" will go and create their own. I'm merely pointing out that partisanship is its own religion too. :) |

Posted by JayMan on Fri Dec 3 19:50:25 2010, in response to Re: Atheist Billboard At Lincoln Tunnel Approach, posted by BMTLines on Fri Dec 3 19:39:31 2010. Then what you are saying is that human nature is the problem. Humans will always follow charismatic leaders be they religious or atheists who create so-called state religions.You are correct, wars -- and religion -- are expressions of human nature. Society has been making progress, however gradually, through various means, towards reducing the incidence and severity of conflicts. Either way wars will continue and so will human suffering. Atheism is not a solution to anything. Actually, to the contrary, moving towards rational and evidenced-based solutions to problems serves to alleviate human suffering and improve the quality of life. As I've noted, as society has dis-embraced religion, society has improved. And as Sam Harris argues in his book, The Moral Landscape, science has advanced to the point that it can give us insight into how to solve moral problems, problems where relying on religion for answers (such as the case with embryonic stem cell research or whether the terminally ill have the right to self-euthanasia) lead us to misguided solutions that only serve to prolong suffering. |
