Sabio Lantz commented on Joy Cody's blog post 'Playing with god'
I think your insights are very valuable !!
Those of us who were in versions of Christianity that were blatantly repulsive for whatever reason made us generalize.
Don't get me wrong, I think all versions are wrong. But they are only wrong in…

Cognitive Errors: The Great Man Theory of History
The foibles of human cognition are found among the religious and the non-religious alike; among theists and nontheists. One such foible is "The Great Man Theory of History". I have written and illustrated a critique of this theory here on my blog. It is pertinent especially with the recent assassination of Osama bin Ladin. My post reviews the scientific discovery of the…See More

Sabio Lantz commented on Irreverend Mike's group 'Atheist Buddhists'
Hi, I am not versed in AtheistNexus navigation or use. But I would belong to this category. Just thought I'd stop in.

@ Fred Werther:
Actually, I am very critical of Alternative medicine -- and since I am a former Acupuncturist and Homeopath, I know from whence I speak. But you are right I do see meditation techniques as very useful and science experiments have…

Sabio Lantz commented on Johnny's blog post 'Should we "push" secularism?'
Sure, Theists should push their position too. The thing we want to be sure of is that none of this is done coercively. And the most powerful coercive tool is the government. So preserve opinions but curb the violence.

Sabio Lantz replied to Ella E's discussion 'Nutzoid things I did as a christian.' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
I actually just wrote an apology for my "nutzoid" things as a Christian.
Sabio Lantz replied to Nathan Phelps's discussion 'Why Are We Here?' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
There are views of a god who is not an interventionist -- thus, there need be no evidence for "his" existence. That god could be the source of afterlives, also untestable. So, my disbelief is in an interventional diety. I am an atheist…
Sabio Lantz replied to Sentient Biped's discussion 'If you could erase your religious history... would you?' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
I would keep my whole history. All parts were who I was, all parts had good and bad. How am I to chose?
Am I embarrassed about past deeds, yes -- atheist or theist. Where does this thinking take you?
Sabio Lantz replied to Brother Richard's discussion 'From Whence Cometh Thine Hope?' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
When I became an atheist, I was still at a Christian college. I lost all my friends and eventually a girlfriend. But I became an atheist by realizing the nature of my mind which was actually much more exciting and awe-inspiring that the heaven-hell…
Sabio Lantz replied to The Nerd's discussion 'Calvanism' in the group Life After Christian Fundamentalism
I am an ex-Evangelical who felt a big burden lift after deconverting. Though I lost all my friends, I gained many more. But most of all, I felt honest and sincere.

Religion: Harms & Benefits (like Drugs)
Posted on May 9, 2011 at 5:17am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Religions cause harm: both to self and others.
But do they have benefits too? I think so.
I made a chart illustrating my intuitions on this:
I am sure I got much wrong but I hope this analysis can help in the dialogue.
Let me know what you think.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Welcome to Atheist Nexus where you have at once obtained thousands of good friends.
Try joining groups like the busy discussion group ORIGINS (Origins: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion..... ).
I have been running a long discussion there about being "Proud to be Atheist" as we all should be, seeing that we hold the intellectual high ground over the nonsense of the irrational religious fantasisers.
