Indeed I am. Else being quite a bit more intelligent than the general population.
throwing around unsupported insults, pomposity, arrogancetalking about how he's better than everyoneThe ironic part is that your actions actually accomplish the opposite of what you seem to intend with them.
Let me give you a keen piece of wisdom:
Debate and philosophy aren't about your ego. It's not about who is smarter, or more intelligent
Indeed I am. Else being quite a bit more intelligent than the general population.
And, you think you are better than us, right?Witchypoo - Why you are no better than the other douches.
Witchypoo bleats - About the only admirable thing about you people
They're mainly "deluded" in the sense they have been programmed or instructed to accept only a single form of existence or experience....that being the physical layer alone. It's only a perception though, delusions come in many forms but in atheism the delusion comes from accepting only one examination of our experience which makes it more limited than deluded per say because they base it on direct experience and that being the physical sense experience. They aren't deluded in the sense they believe in something that is fiction but rather accept a reality that is temporal and uncaused, in other words they accept a lesser reality and in doing so they limit their potential.
Atheists believe gods, or god-like entities, don't exist. A reality without gods is not a lesser reality because there is only one reality - and in reality there are no gods.
So if thereare no gods, why are they believed in? one reason is in your post - people are programmed and instructed to believe in gods. That programming and instruction begins almost from the moment of birth. It's no accident that children almost always adopt the religion of their parents.
Another attracation of theis is that it seems to give answers to the big questions - why are we here? Why be good? Ateism ofers no redy madesolutions - it isdown to individual conscience.
Of course I throw the same back to you!
If atheists are the result of 'programming and instruction' as you claim, shouldn't you consider the same about theists? I am damn sure that you were encouraged to believe in God all your life. No-one programmed or instructed me to be an atheist - where do you get that idea from?
You say "Be willing to change your mindset and be flexible with what you think you know about reality.". Well, most atheists did go through a period of religious indoctrination as children and were "willing to change their mindset and be flexible in what they think about reality." . The result was they rejected theism.
I put it to you that it is you, not I, that is inflexible.
