Liselotte Saxkjær Hausgaard replied to Manny Espinola's discussion 'Filipino joins Danish atheists' in the group Danish Atheists

Manny, in a lot of ways Denmark is very secular. Most people are not actively religious. Ironically, we are not officially a secular country, as we have a state church. And as a matter of tradition, even non-religious parents have their children…

Filipino joins Danish atheists

In all things rational and humanist Denmark (with Holland) seemed always to have led Europe on the right path, however, as it is the appetitive part of the human psyche that rules the world of geopolitics, we are all at the mercy of the cultural mood of the United States, the world's remaining superpower, and right now, because of the economic depression, American religion (evangelical Christianity) is on the ascendant, just like in the 1930s. From drugs to abortion to same-sex marriage,…See More

A good plan. I await the poll with mild impatience and I will abide by the decision of the majority.

Manny Espinola replied to Manny Espinola's discussion 'Presidentiable Most Sympathetic To Church-State Separation?' in the group Philippine Atheists

I'm not comfortable with his (too)-close associations with religious groups, and his writings--well, at least his critique of Pinker---had a decidedly mystical aroma about it.

Manny Espinola replied to Eric Tawney's discussion 'The 'ah Ha' moment; When was yours?' in the group Richard Dawkins

Mine was in 1971 when I was 12 and I seduced a priest and it was very good for my physical and mental health instead of the fire and brimstone that were supposed to rain down on me after I led one of HIS faithful servants right down into temptation…

Really? How?

LaRae Meadows replied to Manny Espinola's discussion 'To be an atheist is to be an Evolutionist' in the group Atheists United

I don't think that's true. I think you can think there is no god and think evolution might not be the way we came to be.

Manny Espinola replied to Brad Feaker's discussion 'An atheist manifesto - of sorts...' in the group ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN

We in fact need something like this if we are to have a coherent, unified, and most important of all, constitutionally protectable RIGHT NOT TO BELIEVE IN GOD OR GODS, a completely different right from the right to worship or practice religion.

Please don't forget the Egyptian side of Christianity----resurrection and the afterlife, basic Christian articles of faith---were more strongly Egyptian than Greek. After death, Greek religion sent all mortals---good and bad, to the underworld,…

Jared Lardo replied to Manny Espinola's discussion 'To be an atheist is to be an Evolutionist' in the group Atheists United

because like all belief systems, atheism has to account for the existence of the cosmos. This is best summed up by Dr. Cox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrjwaqZfjIY Atheism isn't a belief system; if it's even a "belief…

To be an atheist is to be an Evolutionist

To be an atheist is to be an Evolutionist, because like all belief systems, atheism has to account for the existence of the cosmos. And Evolution begins not with the primordial soup of the young earth but with the Big Bang itself, when matter first came into existence, specifically element one, hydrogen, then, after the first stars formed and went supernovae, elements six, seven, and eight---carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. Our sun is said to be a third generation star, because of the presence of…See More

The Ultimate Outsider

Posted on May 23, 2009 at 11:30am 4 Comments 0 Likes

As a gay person I would have felt at home in ancient Greece, but as an atheist I would have been arrested and forced to drink hemlock or something. In present day China, I would have felt at home as an atheist, but then the communist party thinks homosexuality is a Western perversion that has somehow penetrated China, an undesirable import the cultural revolution failed to eradicate. Actually, I'm not the ultimate outsider. The ultimate outsider is this: gay, atheist, black, female, overweight,… Continue

Welcome to Atheist Nexus with its 8000 good friends.

A useful group to join, with its 130 discussions and numerous video films, is “ORIGINS” (Origins: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion....).
One discussion (over 70 posts) is "Proud to be Atheist". There's much to feel good about
because atheists and humanists hold the intellectual high ground--—far from the mental slavery of superstitious people who submit to a narrow-minded controlling clergy with their imaginary god, heaven and hell.
