I’m 100% an atheist now FYI. Not an agnostic-atheist.
I’m a “strong atheist”.
While I agree with atheist for the most part, there are still some points of contention for me. I guess I could be quantified as a pantheist or panentheist, and I do not whorship my “God” if you will. It is nothing sacred or special or divine. It can’t be defined or know, only felt and surrendured to. Every living thing is apart of it, and our self/soul returns to it when the vessel dies. There is no heaven or hell, just a physical universe connected through singularity to an energy universe.
@kittielashes:
Everytime I learn a little more about science — and believe me it’s only a little at a time — I become more and more of an atheist and less and less of an agnostic-atheist.
So I’m wondering if I learnt even more about science would I become 100% an atheist. But I really just don’t see it **yet**. I don’t see how I could ever be 100% an atheist. As we’ve been through: I still think anything is possible.
Also, now you’ve told me you’re a scientist and I’m assuming you’re not lying I respect your authority a lot more.
So, going on authority alone and not really using my brain/ not really thinking for myself:
Why does Richard Dawkins say there’s a chance of God? I’ve got videos of him saying it many times over…
You have to understand 0.1% of this is my own understanding, the rest is going on the authority of scientists.
If you are a scientist:
Now I see this as a free private lesson. So thanks for your time. But I feel I’m irritating you and I think it’s best we end the discussion.
“I don’t know how to dumb it down any more.”
Well I still don’t understand so could you try. What’s “calculated reason”?
I can’t find any of these terms in google as they relate to our discussion at the moment.
