Philosophu Talk

This is the first of a series of Psychology behind the Atheist
Faith. I mean no offense to those who read these posts who have the
desire to be an atheist ; that is your perogative based on whatever
reason(s) you may have. I only wish to examine the psychology behind
it. The word 'Psychology' refers to Human Behaviour including
motives, reasons, excuses, ideals, actions, lifestyle, desires,
willfulness , and unwillingness . In the weeks to come, Ill hit on
all of these.

Id like to start by saying that I labeled myself 'an Atheist' from
the approx age of 17 to 29 and ran with a fairly large crowd of folks
who considered themselves the same. If i were asked if i believed in
God , I would have answered : &*$%#@ NO !! I had my mind made up
for a variety of what i thought were good reasons including : The
world is in too bad of state, it appears that bad things happen to
rather good people, there was no convincing evidence of a God-Person
nor did he want to show himself, hes never done anything for me,
and Church Goers were all just a bunch of hypocrites to varying
degrees. My chosen lifestyle was one of 'personal discovery and
quests' , namely, whatever I felt like doing for maximized pleasure
with emphasis in the sexual area . Some call it 'sowing your wild
oats' while others might call it ' Boys will be boys' . For many
years, this was my MO since there was no other definitive purpose or
meaning to life , including my own , outside of hedonism and
narcissism.

There is a popular saying that is often posted on a churches outdoor
sign ; it says : No Peace, no God ; Know Peace , Know God.
Now that I am on the other side of the fence of life, I see the
accuracy and truth
of this saying. What little peace i did have as an active Atheist, it
was very shortlived because nothing or no one was truly/long lasting
Peace-filling. Ive mixed with many atheists when i was one and now
that im not one...and they confess this to me sometimes verbally,
sometimes in email, and always by actions and lifestyle. Is it the
same with you as one who desires to follow atheism ?

I shall stop here for the first post in this series and invite
discussion.

You clearly have a big hang up about sex. You tell us about your 12
years of sexual experimentation and perversion which eventually so
disgusted you that you turned to religion as a means of controlling your
sexual appetite and behaviour. That may be your personal psychology
but a desire for sexual experimentation and perversion was not our
motivation in becoming atheists.

The reason we are atheists has nothing whatsoever to do with sex but is
simply because we do not believe in gods.

What is the highest level of education you reached?
Do you have a professional qualification and if so what?
To what level did you study physics and biology?
What qualifies you to lecture us on your religion?
Why is the account of the creation in Genesis so confused and
scientifically illiterate?
What evidence do you have for your alleged theistic creator other
than
your customary arguments from ignorance and incredulity?
Why was your alleged intelligent designer so bad at designing?

In the beginning, fear drove cavemen and women to observe completely
natural events and create supernatural forces to explain what they were
too ignorant to understand.
Today, that ignorance continues in the lie of christianity and all
other religions and those who follow their fable of choice live in
abject jealousy of atheism. Being the choice of intelligentsia for
milennia, atheism is the only choice for those that wish to live, not
just survive long enough to die pathetically in the broken pieces of
their wasted existences.
Tune in for more of this...all in these groups are invited to write
or rewrite any of these chapters at any time...
