Re: George Carlin religion

No it's not, whether you like it or not.

Humanism doesn't have to compete with organised (and man-made) religions. Why should it?

It doesn't have to compete with faith (to acknowledge Truthpaste's distinctions, and hatred of religion) or go toe-to-toe with the certainties of cult members.

Human beings can give their own meaning to their lives, create their own values and purposes, and face death without terror. We no longer live in the fear and ignorance of past centuries. We should have grown up!

Humanism does have to compete with religion, we need the truth Jon.

The super natural is there. Whatever the truth of our existence is. It's super natural and beyond your capabilities clearly.

Dismissing religion as "man made" is about as fatuous as it gets. Who do you think made man?

No atheist can face death without terror, you are deluding yourself. Death for an atheist is a terrible prospect, it hangs over their subconcious for life.

You don't half talk bollocks with a condescending air Jon. Just like you claiming ancient Brits were dark skinned. There is no evidence for this, which is why cheddar man was debunked as left wing rubbish, yet you still insist on it being true.

An atheist doesn’t die terrorised about the afterlife though? They’re terrorised that it’s the end

That could also be said about Quantum Physics and could, mathematically, just be a series of meaningless, random, quantum events. That doesn't mean we don't feel, laugh, cry, hurt etc. but there may be no meaning whatsoever. I often wonder if the dinosaurs contemplated the same things in their much lengthier (sorry for the grammar) time on earth. I think humans are a tad precious. We're extremely likely to become extinct. I don't think any conscious entity is going to prevent that.

My guess is that you would struggle to find a group of atheist quantum physicists.

Re: George Carlin religion

I was wondering about that 🤔

Mass immigration and globalism represent chaos and the death of age old cultures and peoples. If the devil is chaos then God is order. I always prefer order to chaos.

Re: George Carlin religion

How do you know what happens to an atheist when he dies? Please tell me your experiences. I'd love to know

Re: George Carlin religion

I think Humanists would simply believe our existence is mind blowing and defies our current understanding. However there’s no need to insert comforting but implausible answers because of that.

I think Humanists would also believe people have the capacity to be both good and bad. But a better life is built on positive attributes such as learning, reason, compassion, integrity, kindness etc.

Do you believe our existence is "mind blowing and defies our current understanding" if so, would you accept we have a God i.e. our creator?

In a word no, it is all made up.

So, in your considered opinion how did we get here?

Well, we'll never know until we open the box
