An atheist? Where? I don't see one anywhere near this article subble.

ZAZ: Reverend Monkeypants

Quoting TFA: "He thus suggested the atheist communist leader to perform Griha Shanti Puja of Shani planet (worship of Saturn)."

You'd think Titan or some other moon would be more appropriate for worship. Saturn is a shiathole.

I believe we're supposed to go with all Maoists are Atheists.

Atheism is a Religion.

I think subby thinks the word atheist is defined as "non-christian"

letrole: Atheism is a Religion.


God damn you're stupid.

Aurelian: By definition, if you worship ANYTHING, you're not an atheist.
Fail, subby.

No true. An Atheist can worship woodland spirits. Many Buddhists are Atheists.

But most Atheists practise Atheism in its purest form.

Did you not the pronunciation of the user name?

What I find bemusing is that many believers in the major religions (Christians, Jews, Muslims) also believe in ghosts that sort of wander the earth, haunting houses, things like that. Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost are not religious works. Also, many religious people seem to believe that the quantity of prayer somehow affects the probability of physical events, as if Jesus is running a sort of game show like "The Running Man": if he doesn't get 515 prayers about cancer-boy before tomorrow at 10pm, he's pulling the plug on that kid.

I missed that part of the Bible.

Which denomination of atheist would that fall under?

What's wrong with people who openly believe in an afterlife also believing in ghosts?

Seems pretty afterlifey to me.

Ghosts do exist, but they're not the dead. Rather, they're evil spirits who exploit people's superstition. Same goes for dreams and so forth about loved ones who've died recently.

Maybe. I was only talking about belief.

This is because there's a difference between superstitions and religion.

I hear tinfoil hats can keep them out of your brainwaves.

What about the Thetans?

The belief arises from a lack of knowledge that's reinforced by deception.

My Saturn has 143k miles on it. Still runs great, and gets 33mpg in town. I don't worship it, but I like it.

Our ghost just lets us know he's around from time to time.

Do you know the timecube guy? Or are you a biased Markov chain?

Well, we can at least prove the existence a water buffalo.

Which is more than Christians can say about their magical sky pixie.

detfrost1: God damn you're stupid a pathetic, no-life-havin', basement-dwellin' Troll.

And STFU about your "surname", Troll.

bugmn99: I hear tinfoil hats can keep them out of your brainwaves.

Not likely. Ghosts exist in the mind. They're not affected by the environment. The tinfoil hat does have an effect, but it's merely a placebo.

You've been here that long, and you never noticed Le Trôle?

Religion is an atheism! Words mean nothing anymore!

Spirit Hammer: Our ghost just lets us know he's around from time to time.

You need to be careful. "Ghosts" are imposters. If you encourage the manifestations, you may end up being unable to stop them if things turn unpleasant.

You need to chill. All that hate is going to eat you alive.

Spirit Hammer: You've been here that long, and you never noticed Le Trôle?

No, of course I have. My point was that both his "Atheism is a Religion" and "My surname is Le Trôle" bits are hackneyed BS. Blows my mind what some people consider entertainment.

It's like walking out into traffic every day and continually being entertained by the fact that people honk at you and flip you off.

letrole: You need to chill. All that hate is going to eat you alive.

Seriously dude, this is fun for you? Do you shiat in someone's living room and then laugh when they're unhappy about it?

Aurelian: By definition, if you worship ANYTHING, you're not an atheist.

Fail, subby.

Then by your definition there are no atheists.

fatassbastard: It's like walking out into traffic every day and continually being entertained by the fact that people honk at you and flip you off.

That's not an accurate analogy.

It's more like standing on the side of the road holding a placard with a simple statement, and then marvelling at the number of obsessed and fixated loons who then circle the block for hours just to shout abuse.

airplayne: Then by your definition there are no atheists.

Please define "worship".

I wish you Happy Motoring.

letrole: It's more like standing on the side...

Nope. It would only be like that if you had a blog with the statement at the top and I came by your blog and posted comments about it regularly.

You are walking around Drew's house, constantly walking into every room where the discussion has anything to do with atheism, and stating clearly for all to hear, "Atheism is a Religion". Then you think it's funny when the people in that room say, "Jebus Cripes, STFU, do you have to walk in every room and say the same exact bullshiat over and over and over?"

fatassbastard: airplayne: Then by your definition there are no atheists.

Please define "worship".

Well, here are a couple of definitions that would fit well in this forum:

-love unquestioningly and uncritically or to excess; venerate as an idol.
-a feeling of profound love and admiration.

Anything or anyone could literally be worshiped. And anything or anyone you put into either of those definitions becomes your god. Therefore, there is no such thing as an atheist.
