"In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate, may peace be upon the cheerful one and the dauntless fighter, Prophet Muhammad, God’s peace be upon him. O nation of Islam and nation of Arabism: Rejoice for it is time to take revenge from the British Zionist Crusader Government in retaliation for the massacres Britain is committing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The heroic mujahidin have carried out a blessed raid in London. Britain is now burning with fear, terror, and panic in its northern, southern, eastern, and western quarters. We have repeatedly warned the British Government and people. We have fulfilled our promise and carried out our blessed military raid in Britain after our mujahidin exerted strenuous efforts over a long period of time to ensure the success of the raid. We continue to warn the governments of Denmark and Italy and all the Crusader governments that they will be punished in the same way if they do not withdraw their troops from Iraq and Afghanistan. He who warns is excused."

Athiests have it right
Believing in gods or angels, or maybe wood nymphs is utter bollocks

An agnostic waits for it to be proved to him, and a Humanist, such as myself, believes in the power of science, politics, and other things under human control.
Or something like that.

technically believing?
*head asplodes*
( , Thu 7 Jul 2005, 19:19, archived)

is an indirect belief in there being an explainability and concreteness to the world around us. It's just as 'irrational' as anything else because it's not the sort of thing that can be proven either way.
What is truly stupid is believing so much in any one thing so much that you ignore anything that happens to go against that.

It doesnt take faith to accept scientific principles, it takes faith to believe in unproved unlikely things like god/s

but yes, I'm an aetheist and don't believe in gods, spirits, afterlife, ghosts etc.

Some people need to have religion to give them something to live for and to give them reason to do things.
Whether gods/angels/laser marmots actually exist is irrelevant. Believing in them gives people hope and makes them feel better.

is themselves. It's far too easy to have something else to blame.

To fill a hole in their lives or to remove them from having to think about the true nature of existence?

When I was at school, I got shit from all directions every day, and if I hadn't been able to pray and actually believe that there was a God listening, I don't think I would have survived.
The only reason I'm an Atheist now is because I don't feel like I need to believe in a God anymore.

isn't it saying this sort of thing that's causing a hell of a lot of the problems we're dealing with nowadays?

I think they're fucking ridiculous but in general I'll tolerate them hoping that in a generation or 2 they'll all have gotten over it.
Religion was a really useful crutch for humanity for 2000 years but it's not needed any more. Before we can walk properly we need to throw it away.

turn towards scientific fundamentalism? If you look purely at the concrete when examining the weird and wonderful questions about life, the universe and everything, you can very easily forget the things that are not concrete - from the nature of human interaction to the boundaries of human knowledge. What about nationalism/"patriotism"? It's obvious what the problems are with an overdose of that.
It's all the same bloody thing, and people will find something else to fight about.
