Atheist Buddhists
A place for those who consider themselves Atheist Buddhists, or those who simply don't see this as a contradiction in terms.

ORIGINS: UNIVERSE, LIFE, HUMANKIND, AND DARWIN
We debate origins of the Universe, life, Earth, humans, religion, atheism, using common sense, evolution, cosmology, geology, archaeology, and other sciences, to repel biblical creationism and other religious beliefs.
Tom joined Dr. Terence Meaden's group
For those who believe no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe no proof is possible.
So get off my back already : >

what I use to describe my own beliefs. I am fairly confident in saying I’m an atheist, exploring Buddhism and meditation, But wouldn’t say I am a “believer” of any god concept.
I’ve found these are some good definitions to know, when talking to people in this part of the country, when it comes to spiritual beliefs.
monotheism
A belief in one god. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all monotheistic religions. (Compare polytheism.)
monotheism 1660, from Gk. mono-, comb. form of monos "single, alone" + theos "a god" (see Thea).
god (gäd, gôd)
noun
1. any of various beings conceived of as supernatural, immortal, and having special powers over the lives and affairs of people and the course of nature; deity, esp. a male deity: typically considered objects of worship
2. an image that is worshiped; idol
3. a person or thing deified or excessively honored and admired
4. in monotheistic religions, the creator and ruler of the universe, regarded as eternal, infinite, all-powerful, and all-knowing; Supreme Being; the Almighty
Etymology: ME < OE, akin to Ger gott, Goth guth, prob. < IE base *ĝhau-, to call out to, invoke > Sans havaté, (he) calls upon
interjection
used variously, and in interjectional phrases, as an oath and as an expression of relief, determination, surprise, anger, etc. God, I'm glad that's over! I'll see this through, by god! God almighty! my God!
agnostic
ag•nos•tic (ag näs′tik)
noun
a person who believes that the human mind cannot know whether there is a God or an ultimate cause, or anything beyond material phenomena
Adjective of or characteristic of an agnostic or agnosticism
a⋅the⋅ist
–noun
a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.
Synonyms:
ATHEIST, AGNOSTIC, INFIDEL, SKEPTIC refer to persons not inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief. An ATHEIST is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine
esoteric (comparative more esoteric, superlative most esoteric)
1. Understood only by a chosen few or an enlightened inner circle.
The writing in this manual is very esoteric; I need a degree in engineering just to understand it!
2. Having to do with concepts that are highly theoretical and without obvious practical application.
3. Confidential; private.

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hi and a friendly welcome to Tomw in Louisville, KY
We are pleased to welcome you here among the sensible, rational people of this world.
This is a fantastic meeting place with its 14,500 bright people like you who recognise religion for the superstition and brainwashing fraud that it is---
and that God and gods are nothing but fictions wasting space in people's heads.
Terry Meaden
originator of the busy lively discussion group
"ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Earth, Humankind, Fossils, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 240 discussion topics.
We invite you to come and see, and to make good new friends.
