Categories of AtheismAtheism (pure) - Complete rejection of the possibility for the existence of conscious ethereal beings or concepts (gods, spirits or spirituality, afterlife, reincarnation, etc.) Agnosticism - A lack of choosing between being an atheist or a believer. Agnosticism is in itself not a perspective, it is merely the absence of a firm commitment to either atheism or a faith because it's assumed that the existence of a god cannot be proven or disproven Freethinker - One who thinks independently of authority or dogma, instead choosing logic and rationality to pursue knowledge Humanism - Subclass of atheism that focuses on human needs and improvement Materialism - Purports all that exists must be physically tangible material, or the effects upon said material Objectivism - Similar to Materialism. All reality is objective and external to our minds, and our knowledge of reality can be deemed reliable based upon observations Scientific - The strict preclusion of human emotional bias in measuring/assessing (the value of) information. Defines methods for evaluating the credibility of information Rationalism - Logic is the primary source of knowledge Libertarianism - Advocating free will while minimizing state intervention Intrebare stupidaOare care sunt sansele procentuale ca un musulman sa faca "poc" cand trece pe langa un grup de occidentali? Comentarii insipideUite de unde a pornit de data asta ... comentariile astea. Asta i-am raspuns unui individ fara predispozitie genetica spre inteligenta. "Nu ma simt indatorat sa cred ca acelasi d-zeu care ne-a dotat cu simt, intelepciune si intelect a intentionat sa nu le folosim." (Galileo Galilei), asta a zis-o cu ceva timp inainte ca voi sa-l prajiti, stiti voi bine de ce. Religion Quotes"If Jesus had been killed twenty years ago, Catholic school children would be wearing little electric chairs around their necks instead of crosses." - Lenny Bruce "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" - Douglas Adams "Creationists make it sound as though a 'theory' is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night." - Isaac Asimov "If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god." - Napoleon Bonaparte "The more I study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshipped anything but himself." - Richard Burton Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?" Priest: "No, not if you did not know." Eskimo: "Then why did you tell me?" - Annie Dillard "I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use." - Galileo Galilei "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." - Mohandas Gandhi "Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning." - Bill Gates "One man's theology is another man's belly laugh." - Robert A. Heinlein "Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything." - Robert A. Heinlein "Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand." - Frederick II "If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane." - Robert Green Ingersoll "Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." - Thomas Jefferson "It is wonderful how much time good people spend fighting the devil. If they would only expend the same amount of energy loving their fellow men, the devil would die in his own tracks of ennui." - Helen Keller "The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance... logic can be happily tossed out the window." - Stephen King "There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave." - Louis Kronenberger "This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness." - Dalai Lama "You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do." - Anne Lamott "We must respect the other fellow's religion,but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart." - H. L. Mencken "It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry." - H. L. Mencken "Born again?! No, I'm not. Excuse me for getting it right the first time." - Dennis Miller "Where it is a duty to worship the sun it is pretty sure to be a crime to examine the laws of heat." - John Morley "The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad." - Friedrich Nietzsche "The Bible is literature, not dogma." - George Santayana "No man ever believes that the Bible means what it says: He is always convinced that it says what he means." - George Bernard Shaw "Why should we take advice on sex from the pope? If he knows anything about it, he shouldn't!" - George Bernard Shaw "When lip service to some mysterious deity permits bestiality on Wednesday and absolution on Sunday, cash me out." - Frank Sinatra "Doubt is part of all religion. All the religious thinkers were doubters." - Isaac Bashevis Singer "If I had been the Virgin Mary, I would have said "No." - Margaret Smith "We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another." - Jonathan Swift "When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said "Let us pray." We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land." - Desmond Tutu Minti ingusteCica se zice ca daca tii un ficus in casa aduce ghinion. "Se zice ca ...", o expresie atat de populara, cu un element de intelepciune de necontestat. Cand "se zice ca ..." nu are nevoie de lamuriri suplimentare, nu e nevoie de confirmari, nici de logica, sens sau origine. Procesul de gandire este complet anulat in urma expresiei. Care este totusi originea unei "se zice ca ..."? E destul de evident ca face parte din cultura populara religioasa. Dar cineva tot a spus-o pentru prima oara. Ideea asta s-a dezvoltat in creierul unei singure persoane. Asta e cert. Din aer nu a aparut. Probabil si eu as putea initia asa ceva. Se zice ca e ghinion daca tii pahare de cristal in bucatarie. (sper sa nu fie deja) Oare cine m-ar contesta? De fapt, am sa si promovez ideea asta. Imi trebuie doar un model de persoana care sa nu aiba predispozitie genetica catre inteligenta. Religios, dogmatic, ritualic. Aproape oricine. Intorcandu-ma la subiectul initial, cine ar fi atat de deranjat de catre un ficus incat sa initieze o astfel de idee stupida? Mai departe, o intrebare buna ar fi "de ce sa ma deranjeze asa ceva?". Pentru ca astfel de mituri stupide controleaza viata multor oameni. Modul in care se desfasoara viata majoritatii, determina caracteristicile civilizatiei. O societate superstitioasa, constransa de ritualuri inepte afecteaza si pe cei care nu sunt. In plus, impiedica gandirea, care mai departe impiedica evolutia. De fapt, e promovat conceptul de "intoarcere la origini". Dar de ce am vrea sa ne intoarcem la origini? De ce sa fie promovate concepte si comportamente primitive? Ca societate ... suntem niste idioti.
Ideea de "ghinion" (si in acelasi timp de "noroc") poate fi considerata ca semn de minte ingusta. Sa ma exemplific. Ziua de vineri, 13 - considerata ca fiind o zi foarte ghinionista in cultura occidentala. Se estimeaza ca in zilele noastre se pierd intre 800-900 milioane de dolari din cauza ca multe persoane au comportament modificat (refractar, evaziv, izolator) in ziua respectiva. Cu toate astea, nu se cunoaste originea mitului. Isteria a inceput doar pe la sfarsitul secolului 19. O propunere cu privire la origine ar fi legata de "cina cea de taina", al 13-lea invitat, Iuda. Sau crucificarea lui isus, intr-o vineri. Alte teorii spun ca tot intr-o zi de vineri Eva i-a oferit lui Adam marul cu pricina. Abel a fost omorat de Cain intr-o vineri. Nici una din presupozitiile precedente nu au fost validate, nici macar de biblie. O anume data ar putea fi un candidat serios pentru acest mit. Vineri 13 Octombrie 1307. Ziua in care cavalerii templieri au fost executati prin toata Europa. Totusi, exista prea putine surse care sa indice legatura dintre aceste doua evenimente. Din punct de vedere istoric, nu exista nici un motiv de care Vineri 13 sa fie legat. In cultura asiatica, cifra 13 e considerata norocoasa. De fapt exista mai multe culturi sau religii care considera asta. Totusi, nu pot sa nu remarc o diferenta in psihologia crestina comparata cu celelalte. 13=ghinion la crestini, 13=noroc la altii ... unii sunt pesimisti, altii optimisti. Oare de ce nu ma mira asta? 10 mituri si 10 adevaruri despre ateism1. Ateii cred ca viata este fara scop si sens. 3. Ateismul este dogmatic. 4. Ateii considera ca totul in univers a aparut din greseala/sansa. 5. Ateismul nu are conexiune cu stiinta. 6. Ateii sunt aroganti. 7. Ateii sunt inchisi fata de experienta spirituala. 8. Ateii nu cred ca exista altceva dincolo de viata si dincolo de intelegerea umana. 9. Ateii ignora faptul ca religia este extrem de benefica societatii. 10. Ateismul nu are baza pentru moralitate. Source Link To be or not to be ...A fi ateu inseamna sa nu crezi in prezenta divina, ceea ce presupune implicit existenta divina. Asta face ca termenul de "ateu" sa aiba conotatii negative chiar daca existenta divinitatii nu e demonstrata explicit. De ce eu, ca ateu, trebuie sa infirm existenta divina atata timp cat ceilalti nu au confirmat-o? In sistemul judiciar a mari majoritati a tarilor civilizate, orice afirmatie trebuie sustinuta de probe concrete, rolul partii adverse este sa demonstreze invaliditatea acelor probe. Deci, ca sa invalidezi ceva, trebuie validata intai, nu invers. E doar o idee ... Sa ne rugam asadar ...Oare "rugaciunea" la un element divin nu seamana cu o frica de a constientiza realitatea? Frica de un element incontrolabil si transferul responsabilitatii evenimentului asupra divinului? Daca iese cum vrea credinciosul, acorda credit divinitatii, daca nu iese, vina o are elementul raului, "si-a bagat dracu' coada". Oare de ce evenimentele incerte sunt atribuite divinului si nu principiului incertitudinii? Nu este asta o fuga de la realitate? ... e doar parerea mea. Noi suntem mai buni decat voi!Cand un credincios face o "fapta buna", o face din doua motive: fie ii este frica de o anume judecata divina, fie pentru a obtine niste favoruri de la elementul divin (viata vesnica, noroc, etc). Deci fie din frica, fie din egoism. Noi, ateii, cand facem o fapta buna, o facem pentru ca asa vrem noi. Noi nu avem de ce sa ne fie frica si nici cui sa cerem favoruri la schimb. Intrebare stupida ...Daca:
... de ce crestinii si musulmanii nu sarbatoresc "Hanukah", "Yom Kippur", "Sabat", "Purim" sau "Bar Mitzvah"? Atheist MoralitySome theists believe that atheism is dangerous for society because if there is no God there is no reason to be moral. Bishop Stillingfleet (1635-1699) summed up this view nicely in his argument against the Stoic's notion that virtue is its own reward. If there weren't some other reward for being moral, he said, it would be foolish "for men to part with the conveniences of this present life" (Carroll 1975: 112). Furthermore, a reasonable God would not leave it up to mere philosophers to discover our moral duties. After all, they're "perpetually disputing among themselves about those things which were the most necessary foundations of all Virtue and Religion." The rational atheist must gag at such a remark, given the incessant disputes among the various religions as to what constitutes virtue and morality. Stillingfleet dismissed the views of other religions by referring to them as "foolish Notions...vain Superstitions...incoherent Fables..." The other views are debased, uncouth, impure, filled with horrible flaws. Only Anglicanism had it right. Of course, the other religions say the same about Anglicanism. And so it goes.
Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) didn't agree with Stillingfleet. He denied knowing any immoral atheists and asked readers of his Historical and Critical Dictionary (1697) to send him any evidence of immoral atheists (Popkin 2003: 293-294). The Dictionary went through several editions in Bayle's lifetime but no examples of immoral atheists were ever produced. In fact, the longest article in the Dictionary is the one on Spinoza, who is identified as an atheist and depicted as one of the most moral men who ever lived. Bayle claimed that a society of atheists could be more moral than a society of Christians. He pointed out that, historically,
Of course, there are many modern theists who are sex maniacs, liars, cheats, mass murderers, rapists, sexual abusers of children, robbers of pension funds, and the like. It seems obvious from the factual evidence of more than two millennia that belief in God is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for being moral. And, despite the fact that philosophers perpetually dispute just about every thesis on every topic, the great moral thinkers of the world have been secular philosophers such as Confucius, Aristotle, Hume, Bentham/Mill, and Kant, rather than the god-based who seem incapable of producing anything more elegant than a divine command theory.
Source Link Plato's Euthyphro dilemmaIs torture wrong because God prohibits it, or does God prohibit torture because it is already wrong? While "Divine Command Theory" takes the the first route, Euthyphro takes the last one: If a good God prohibits torture he does so because torture is intrinsicly wrong, not merely because he declares torture to be wrong by fiat. But if torture is intrinsicly wrong, then it is wrong regardless of whether or not God exists. Either certain acts are wrong regardless of anyone's opinions or commands (including God's), or else all that we mean by "torture is wrong" is "God prohibits torture." Rather than grounding the objectivity of ethics, "Divine Command Theory" completely undermines it by insisting that God's commands (like those of individuals or societies) do not require justification in terms of any external principles.
Daca nu ar exista cele 10 porunci, iar ideea conform careia doar religia aduce moralitate, iar lipsa ei implicit inseamna lipsa moralitatii, atunci cum se face ca a existat comuniune intre oameni inainte de aparitia celor 10 porunci? Mai detaliat: considerand un grup fara moralitate religioasa (orice grup inainte de aparitia celor 10 porunci), asta inseamna ca ar fi valabila regula "cel mai puternic face ce vrea", lipsa moralitatii in grupul respectiv implica exact opusul celor 10 porunci, atunci, cel mai puternic va ucide, va fura, etc, ceea ce ar duce implicit la divizarea grupului in "cei puternici" si "cei slabi". In acest fel de divizare vor aparea categorii similare si in cadrul celor 2 grupuri existente. Cineva e mai puternic chiar si in cadrul grupului "celor slabi". La fel se intampla si in cadrul celuilalt grup, cineva e mai slab in grupul "celor puternici". Urmeaza o noua divizare. Si, tot asa pana nu va mai exista grup, ci doar indivizi separati. Asta aduce alte probleme, lipsa comunicarii, a comunitatii, a evolutiei, a cunostintelor, toate astea conduc invariabil la disparitia speciei in cauza. Atunci, dat fiind ca au existat grupuri si comunitati inainte de aparitia celor 10 porunci, implicit inseamna ca acele reguli de convietuire au existat dinainte. Asadar, se poate concluziona ca religia si-a insusit niste percepte evidente si deja existente ca fiind proprii. Asta e similar cu ceea ce a facut tipu' asta ... adica a vrut sa patentateze "roata".
