Why I am no longer a Christian

MaxWilder says...

@Reefie - Here's another Huxley quote: "I have never had the least sympathy with the a priori reasons against orthodoxy, and I have by nature and disposition the greatest possible antipathy to all the atheistic and infidel school. Nevertheless I know that I am, in spite of myself, exactly what the Christian would call, and, so far as I can see, is justified in calling, atheist and infidel."

Huxley was running into the same problem that continues happening to this day. When you self-identify as an atheist, people assume that means you *believe* there is no God. His use of the term Agnostic is more to refine what sort of atheist one is, rather than differentiate one's self from atheism entirely.

In his day, it may have been uncommon for a person to comfortably take a neutral stance and say "I don't know." But today, there are a great many who simply do not make religion part of there lives, and don't think about it much otherwise. From his use of the phrase "the atheistic and infidel school", one might infer that the mentality of "if you're not for us then you're against us" was strong at the time. Perhaps before he began using the term agnostic, it was painfully difficult to explain that you simply didn't believe, as opposed to having faith to the contrary. Today this is not so common. When polls are taken about the religious inclinations of Americans today, the category of "non-believer" is just as big, if not bigger than the category of "atheist". (It drives me crazy knowing that the two mean the same thing.) So while he may not have been a typical atheist in his day, I believe he would be considered a typical atheist today.

I would be curious to know what you found out about how the word atheist has been used over the years. To me it is a fairly straightforward combination of the prefix a- and the word theist, therefor meaning "not a theist". It bothers me greatly that people continue to make assumptions that I have a belief that there is no such thing as God. I believe that the Judeo-Christian God does not exist, based on logic, reason and experience. But, as Huxley might have said, I have no a priori objections to the existence of a God in general. I am open to new evidence or lines of reasoning.

As an aside, I think the problem may arise from the fact that Christians tend to hold a Christian-centric worldview. To them, if I do not believe that *their* God exists, then I must perforce believe that *no* God exists, since there is only their God. It is likely true of all monotheists. This has always struck me as absurd, and is part of the reason I feel compelled to discuss this topic so frequently and thoroughly. You can see evidence of this when they ask "Then what do you think started the universe?" Well, even if I did believe that an omnipotent supernatural being started the universe, why would that mean that the God of the Bible was the one that did it? It could be that the Universe was sneezed out of the nose of a being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. How arrogant and ignorant to think that since the universe exists, that their book must be true. </rant>

Openly Gay Student Defends Teacher at School Board Meeting

Crosswords says...

Link to Original Story
First of all its a school, I have never in my life known schools to be a place where you can say whatever you want. Kids usually got in trouble for saying anything slightly crude or that could be construed as being disrespectful. Hell, one time I was waiting in line to leave the lunch room for recess when I sneezed. It was 'determined' I did this on purpose to interrupt the teacher that was telling us the same shit she always told us when we left the lunch room. I ended up having to spend recess sitting in the dirt facing a chain link fence, where some joyless shrew would yell at you if you, spoke, moved, picked at the grass, or looked in the direction of the playing kids.

So in the continuum of shit teachers and administrators get butt-hurt about, some intolerant bigoted kids spouting their dumbass beliefs and then getting in trouble doesn't even move the needle on my outrage meter. Maybe if I thought for a second this was the most liberal school when it came to free speech I'd buy their argument for a day. But seeing as they bitch about the teacher violating the student's free speech rights in one breath and then bitch about the teacher wearing an anti-gay bullying shirt in the next I'm inclined to believe they're full of shit.

Was it completely fair for the teacher to remove the offending student from the class room for his intolerant views and not the others? Probably not, but it doesn't make it okay for a student to sit there and say what kinds of people he hates.

Pre Blessed Food

>> ^kceaton1:

So, I've never asked anyone, but if a food worker (let's say Wendy's) sneezes, then someone nearby says, "Bless you!". Does that count?


Most people who say grace are thanking God for the privilege of eating, not blessing the food.
Most people who want their food blessed want it done a certain way by a certain person, so a Wendy's worker wouldn't cut it.

I love Asus

AeroMechanical says...

I originally pronounced it like Isis (as in Isis and Osiris), but then it seemed everyone else was pronouncing it like "aces," so I started doing that.

Now that everyone is going to be pronouncing it like the sneeze, I will pronounce it asses. I like to be different.

The problem with this commercial, clever though it may be, is that if it gets viral enough, I think that "asses" is going to stick, and that will be their name.

Yogi said:
No but I believe the set up and the ideas in some of these clips show a degree of creativity that could be considered "Art".


No, you have listed a bunch of neat stuff that could look cool in slow-motion. The point Yogi was trying to make is that the "art" portion of this video comes from unique camera angles, setup, different colors used (Primary), engaging background music, the switching of time-shifting, ect... were all carefully constructed to make this video intriguing. And that, my friend, is art.
