Stand with Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan -- with democracy and civilization against tyranny and barbarism
posted by Infidel753 at 4:27 AM
Individualist, pro-technology, pro-democracy, anti-religion. I speak only for myself and not for any ideology, movement, or party. It has been my great good fortune to live my whole life free of "spirituality" of any kind. I believe that evidence and reason are the keys to understanding reality; that technology rather than ideology or politics has been the great liberator of humanity; and that in the long run, human intelligence is the most powerful force in the universe.
God doesn't exist
Evolution happened
Global warming is real
Homosexuality is normal
Aging is a curable disease
The election was not stolen
Everything "spiritual" is a lie
US out of UN, UN out of US
Free speech is for everybody
Humans do not have "souls"
Men can't become women
Fetuses are not persons
Words are not violence
Taiwan is a nation
Pluto is a planet

I think you all make very good points, but what was really interesting was the different perspectives that atheists have on atheism.
To me, those different perspectives all suggest a lack of insularity, as they all argued, but I have to agree that learning and understanding the other side of the argument is required, especially if you want to be able to argue a point coherently.
I've read all those pieces, plus your original one that started it all. It's interesting how one post can spawn such diverse offspring in such numbers.
And it's nice to see that there are people on the internet who can handle differences of opinion without exploding in insults and profanity. There are disappointingly many, based on experience elsewhere, who apparently can't.
I'll probably have another posting up at some point dealing with some of the issues raised in the discussions I linked to above, once I get my own thoguths settled.
