I need other people's opinions on a debate I have been having with my boyfriend.
I consider myself an Atheist, but I believe in Fate. (I define fate as " the universe will eventually reach a state of homoestasis")
He claims that because I believe this I am cleary not an Atheist! Because fate is a higher power than me.
Please let me know what you think either way!
Thanks so much
Miranda

so you are saying that "entropy" is more like a random coincidence than that "fate"...
it doesn't really change anything though, because I still think the universe will work itself out. I guess the real question is: Do you consider the Universe a higher power?
Thanks for the reply
I see and I feel the same way. I am am very grateful for you help with this I really just needed to see that I was not crazy or the only one who thinks this way. I don't think it will stop the debate, being as we are both extremly stubborn and we also are completly different end of the provebial specturm (He is a hardcore Christian and as I said I am an Atheist.)
But Thanks I am happy you helped!

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
