keeping the faith

The BBC reports that the while the US is one of the most religious countries in the west, it is undergoing a period of doubt.

It may be daring to say it but America seems to be experiencing an atheist moment. Although “In God We Trust” was declared the national motto by an act of Congress more than 50 years ago and has been stamped on the currency for longer than that, some considerable doubt has developed of late.

More than anything, people without faith hate the description of them as empty or soulless. They have long been singled out for a special kind of hell.

The constitution of the state of Texas, for example, allows discrimination against atheists in employment or jury duty – provisions that have been nullified by federal laws.

And even my mother used to lower her voice in the kind of whisper reserved for people with terminal brain cancer when she described a neighbour as…. an atheist.

Non-believers say they have also been aided by the revulsion of fair-minded Americans to the religious zealotry behind the September 11 attacks and the subsequent violence on behalf of radical Islam.

    Simply the fact that such an openly secular article (not demonising the atheists etc.) shows how far we in Europe have come on the path to a wholly secular society.

    Good article. I do have to object to atheists being referred to as a religion. We are not united by any belief other than we have none. We have varied view points on the world and not all are the same or even remotely alike in some cases. But we discuss these things and will point out flaws in arguments and revise our ideas when confronted with new information. We do not threaten each other with violence, wag war or evoke hell fire. We don’t claim god is on our side in a conflict wile the other side does the same. If god is routing for both sides then he just wants slaughter!

    Personally I don’t care if because I am an athiest they refer to me as souless…what is a soul? Isn’t it something made up by the religious? If a soul means I am cognizant or self-aware, then I guess I have a soul. If it means that it is something that is supernatural and goes on forever to be tortured or lifted to some form of heaven, well excuse me while I do some projectile vomitting.
    .
    I agree with the author, things do seem to be lightening up a little, but as Carl Sagan stated in the Demon Haunted World, humanity is one step away from the dark ages. If something like 9/11 can send the nation into a dizzying spin of zealotry, can you imagine what can happen if all the lights were to go out?
    .
    Take a look at today’s latest and greatest TV shows. There are literally dozens of shows about finding ghosts and spirits. If that isn’t all about pandering to the superstitious side of the human psyche, I don’t know what is.
    .
    As long as the majority of us carbon-based life forms can be suckered in by a ghost story or two, we will always be susceptible to faith, religion and all the accoutrements and devastation that comes with it.

    I see what you’re getting at Bess, we get it on the sci fi channel in England; Ghost whisper, median and the like. However some of us can tell the difference between fact and fiction so shouldn’t worry about zombies and vampires. Not being able to tell the difference would indicate mental illness. In that view the US should hold a grad meeting of all the members of all the Christian faiths in one of the shitter states (I won’t play the naming game, but they know who they are) and quickly build a wall around the whole lot and declare it the world’s biggest asylum ever!

    @Iron Bess. I think there is no such thing called soul. I was trying to sell it but it seems that it is not that important. No one wanted to buy it. I even told them it was brand new! I called god and the devil, none of the two answered.
    .
    I have lived a godless life for a while. And let me tell you, the mistakes that I have made were because my lack of judgement. The ammendments to them are due to the fact that I grew up, that I developed my sense of judgement, not because I went to a church and confesses all of my sins (a priest will die in that moment …no, Pluto?) and I prayed 10 times. Why do they thinkg they are the center of the universe? They have all that money that they can put into ending hunger, into studies to discover the cure for so many diseases, into my fund to go see Pluto.
    Look at the fucking pope, he has so much money…if he knew he was a person that worked for a foundation that didn’t fill its pockets only, he wouldn’t be moving around in that secured car (sorry I don’t remember the word).
    .
    Yes, I feel a lot of hatred towards them and I don’t feel bad about it. If they were doing the right stuff, they wouldn’t be rich…they’d rather live a life of humbleness and do as much as they can to make this world better. I am not talking about giving people free foor, rather giving them the education and the tools and resources so they can grow and harvest their future.
    .
    Fuck, I am mad. Do you have that cheesecake for me, Pluto?

    Sigmund Freud predicted that as civilization progresses, religion will dissipate… here… lemme find that somewhere…

    “Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires.” –Sigmund Freud, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis,1933.

    “Religion is comparable to a childhood neurosis.” –Sigmund Freud, The Future of an Illusion, 1927

    “Religion is an attempt to get control over the sensory world, in which we are placed, by means of the wish-world, which we have developed inside us as a result of biological and psychological necessities. [...] If one attempts to assign to religion its place in man’s evolution, it seems not so much to be a lasting acquisition, as a parallel to the neurosis which the civilized individual must pass through on his way from childhood to maturity.” –Sigmund Freud, Moses and Monotheism, 1939

    @Deelawn – well kudos for Sigmund, learn something new every day.
    .
    @Pacific Pam – everyone lives a godless life, every day of their lives. There is no such thing as god. So good, bad or in between, it is all about our choices. I hope you really don’t believe that it should be up to the churches of the world to give education and charity to the poor and needy. When that happens, that education comes with a price, that price is called Faith.
    .
    @Pluto – the idea is not that they can’t tell the difference, the idea is that they are so close to believing, that anything will push them over the brink. Ghosts, goblins, vampires, god…it is all the same crap. (By the way, SOLE, is something that you walk on. Soul is a make believe creation of the religious.)

The money they have now, is money left over from hundreds of years of thievery. I believe (I hope)the catholic church is rapidly diminishing. Thanks to pedophile priests, media attention and the lack of new indoctrinees, it is losing its power and money base.

    Just a comment on “soul”. I’d propose that ALL LIVING CREATURES – to a greater or lesser degree – share our inner experiences of joy, fear, anger, love, kindness, and perhaps more abstract experiences as well, and, therefore, share the makings of whatever a “soul” is with us humans. So, perhaps, “soul” is evolving together with our bodies.

    I think that it’s true that – after the English got over their fury and dismay at Darwin’s evolutionary heresies – they recovered their senses and came to realize that the Modern Englishman stood at the top of the evolutionary pyramid, with Lesser Races occupying a subservient position, LOFLMAO.

    Bess- “By the way, SOLE, is something that you walk on. Soul is a make believe creation of the religious” really? Do tell! (Yes that one was actual a play on words for a change rather than an actual mistake. Guess I should be prepared for it with my track record). Back to the TV bit, we have this show called Most Haunted with a guy called Collin Fry. People think the sun shines out his arse, even though an investigative reporter set him up and proved him a liar.
    They took Collin to a house and told him about an old man who was murdered there.
    So he stars “channelling the dead” being possessed by the old man an shit when the journo tells him it was all a lie and that to his knowledge no-one had ever died on the actual property. The look on the guys face, priceless.
    But they still let the cunt do shows. Last one I saw he was in Egypt “channelling” dead kings. He would say a bunch of shit, you know the sort “I keep hearing a name”, even though none of the dead kings spoke ancient Egyptian. Then the local guild would say that it was, as far as they knew, true. This was supposed to be proof the guy is psychic, rather then proof he can read a history book!
    I guess some people would rather believe a proven lie than embrace the truth.

    @Pluto:
    My friends and I *L*O*V*E* watching “Most Haunted”. I was personally devastated when they took Derek off; it was almost a drinking game, waiting for him to get revved up with some wild, semi-coherent tale of sordid misery and murder, all during which a small ticker ran across the bottom of the screen:
    .
    “…THERE HAS BEEN NO EVIDENCE DISCOVERED TO SUPPORT THAT AN ELIZABETH LIVED HERE…”
    .
    and after which he would get possessed by random resident entities and start barking like mad (partial Brit pun, ha!) or saying even crazier things in interesting voices, and then require a hug from the cameraman to recover. It was great fun!!!
    .
    Perhaps what he was sensing there — in the dark with the ‘nostril-cam’ — was the Touch of His Noodly Appendages…

    Dear FSM,

    Please grant that my brother Elliott (He’s kindof a farfalle) gets his NSF grant so that he may uncover more lies about the age of the universe, and the existence of global warming, that you have put on earth to trick our feeble minds.

    .
    A new website addition: Debate Points by RichardDawkins.net
    “I thought we might try a new section here at RichardDawkins.net called “Debate Points”. A lot of people have mentioned that we need to stay on top of the arguments for and against the debate points we will meet. Some seem to never die (Hitler/Stalin, Morality), and we can always improve our arguments. Let’s use the comment space on this post to brainstorm some points that we can start discussions on…..
    Here are some we can start with (click on each topic to go to its own thread):” (Richard Dawkins)

    Arguments Against Evolution
    .
    Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. were atheists, and they were terrible!
    .
    You can’t be moral without God!
    .
    Religion is not incompatible with Science: ‘Non-Overlapping Magisteria’
    .
    Atheism is a religion and you’re as bad as the fundamentalists
    .
    .
    There are many more of the most common topics there which are constantly bought up by the fundies.

    @ Noodly0ne, if you do engineering you’ll get some use out of matrices after school, but they do get pretty big, possibly up to use a computer size depending on what you’re doing.

    Oh, I forgot that part. Since I was not very good with physics, I went for Biotechnology…then…long story.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
