Alot of VGCians call themselves atheist but what does it really mean to you?

It seems alot of people are calling them atheist these days but they don't know what it mean to be one.

They do it as they believe in the modern culture and want to be a part of it.Many also do it as they think themselves to be knowledgeable being one as alot of scientist call themselves atheist.

Alot of people who call themselves atheist think of the big bang as creation but never question it which itself means that you are not an atheist and think that the day we die the world ends for us and we will be no more than stardust.

The problem here is that atheist mainly go according to the order of the things in our world and how we give material things so much importance.We never realize the consciousness that is at play and if the order of things was correct then life has to reincarnate as that will be the cycle.

So please tell us in detail what it means to be an atheist and how is life supposed to be functional without reincarnation or how it just continues to be how it is

1. Same could be said about Heaven & Hell and all that you mentioned earlier. Most people think (/know...really) that they are man made concepts, but those who truly believe in them think they're not man made.

It means that a person believes there is no God.

In the context of science though, there cannot be proof of the nonexistance of something. Asking one to do so with the consequence of calling them ignorant (as you did in your first post) is highly unfair.

Not making unproven assumptions is what makes somebody atheist. I don't think any (reasonable) atheist would argue that there is no chance of there being any diety, intervening or not - just simply that from what we know, that is highly unlikely and that there is absolutely no reason to make the assumption that there is.

Don't know. But I do know that life doesn't happen because a bolt of lighting struck some green slime.

ok then who made the beginning, and who made the person or god that made the beginning? couldn't make his self. nothing just happens. there has to be something behind it even the creation of this so called god.

BIG BANG the scientific method says world started 13.7billion years ago and there was nothing before it,they don't question and just keep on living which is hard,this is where all the laws of reasoning and cause come into place

GOD is the unknown dimension before that or the universe itself is GOD and that world was itself created perfect that will sustain life for eternity or GOD itself will continue to lead life as in that case we are GOD

patheism? sounds like something i ate last night. are you sure we didn't just become like this so called god? that this didn't just happen? that all the peices didn't just fall into place all at once (we are not alone) for these remarkable things we call life and death? how are we suppose to beleive that there's only one god when all signs and religions point to several gods before the birth of christianity which resulted in a god and a mangod/demi god?

before christianity there were different culture so different interpretation of GOD

that showcases human conciousness that we can imagin so much

destiney is wht you make of it.

so patheism means that god made himself become of his own which makes no sence. thats crazyer than i claim to be. nothing can just make its self.

that cause factor behind every factor is only limited to this world.

ok. can't say i don't beleve in something. so do we exsist in god? that would actualy make more sence to me.

we could say we are a part of GOD not exist in it as intelligence and conciousness came from some event

god is called god(don't fill like putting it god in caps its to early)cuse its just somebodies name that lived in BC not because he truely exsist, and has know power. his son was just some crazy man going around telling lies. paying a man that was a street bum that pretended he was blind to get money from the locals to say he could now see because the merical of god when it was the merical of money.

GOD is just a title

his son was not crazy man,its just that we and the soceity we from.we think narrowly of GOD

Christ is messenger or a form of GOD.

most people think of GOD as a man with superhero power and power of creating so people think of GOD as cool or just a person to ask for a CAR or MONEY or WOMEN,etc

the propaganda of todays powerful figures thanking god when they worship the devil and do his bidding. the self righteous pigs and there propaganda are the only things that shapes our lives not some invisable entity, and anyone saying they've seen god has a chemical inbalance in there head and should go get that checked by a doctor and then a shrink.

it isn't a propaganda,its just that people don't understand them

also propaganda is a way of making society better not shaping our lives,its just that humans go against it and are rebellious

for example from the eye of a poor world is more that what he has and that person wants to get more money or the world to be equal but from eye of rich life,life is about enjoying and just a phase

all this god stuff was made up and cairred down through generations of powerful men to scare you into thing one way or another hins the fear and now the blind followers of these religions continue to beleive in something that never exsisted.

totally wrong

poor and weak think of rich and powerfull people as evil and someone who just wants to maintain his enjoyment and status

but when you are rich all those things don't matter,even they have the same curiosity and life to explore like everybody.things which interest them and blow their mind are different

god hasn't given me any powers. once again god is propaganda. 

the power that you can work and do anything is itself a power.we just think of miracle as power not anything else
