Science is, indeed, about the chase of more knowledge, either until the end of humanity or until we discover everything (which will probably never happen). which is wrong,scienc is supposed to be about helping humanity not chase of knowledge that is what creates problem people blind about science just go on chasing tech and people blind about GOD just go out chasing religion
I'm arguing primarily against the Abrahamic religions here, because together, their followers make up a good half of the world's population.But if you insist, I also don't believe in the idea that a monkey (Hanuman) killed a man with ten heads and set fire to his city as part of a grand plan hatched by a shapeshifting man who, at one point, became an elephant. And yes, I do realise that Hinduism is metaphorical. A literal interpretation of it is even more ridiculous than a literal interpretation of Christianity. Why don't I believe in it? Because I don't want a god (no matter what his form) who doesn't necessarily exist to instruct me on the moral way to live my life. I would say setting fire to an entire city is pretty immoral, but the Ramayana seems fine with that.
MOST ESTABLISHED scientist believe in pantheism which is Buddhism,sikhism,taoism,setc |

did you even read the OP?
panthiesm and religions like buddhism aren't about deities
they are the same as the scientific knowledge

Couldn't have said it better myself. Practially everything in the universe that is attributed to a divine being can be explained in a far more realistic and plausible fashion by science, and that's with just our current crasp of science, which is continuing to grow while religion stays mired in obsolete information. |
and which religion are you talking about here?
| Runa216 said: ooooh Snakenobi...I just...I don't think I'm capable of proclaiming your ignorance without being reported six ways from sunday. So I'll leave it at this: You are ignorant. your logic fails on every level. You're a primary example of WHY atheists feel superior to theists. And that is all I will say. This thread is not worth my time. I said my piece, if all I'm gonna get is "Nuh Uh, you're stupid" then I'm not gonna bother. I've spent enough time in school, reading textbooks, and studying psychology to know that no amount of rational, well thought out arguments could possibly make you even stop for a fraction of a second to contemplate the implications of how wrong you are. Have fun guys, I'm out. |
atheist feeling superior is the most ignorant way of thinking which promotes atheism and you still think all religions are about the same thing.say that to the same scientist you believe in who are pantheist

No. It's just that this is the religion my parents picked for me when I was born and since I saw no benefits in it, I got out of it. I don't need anyone telling me in what I should believe and I certainly don't want to pay for it. |
so you fell into the trap that children are born with religion of their parents.i know that thinking,most people have it
anyways,pantheism and Buddhism isn't about somebody telling you about what is correct or not,it is about you deciding.

its like if you are a scientist and you have a dying son and you keep chasing a solution and you don't cherish the time left and then you find the solution but your son dies,what good is it for? people trying to do what will naturally come in time in the future in current time frame is not the way to live
Do you know how medical sciences were a few hundred years ago compared to today? Why is that?
and they will be better a few hundred years from now too |
sure
Because I think society and the government impose more than enough rules and regulations, I see no need to seek out more.

I'm more or less fine with the different schools of Buddhism. Now, I'm no expert on Buddhism but I get the impression that it's more about finding inner harmony, showing respect to life and searching for wisdom. I enjoy listening to Dalai Lama and while I don't look at him as my spiritual leader or something like that I do consider him a man of wisdom. He doesn't seem to be on a mission to oppress, convert or censor either, which is nice. 
While I do like many of the ideas of Buddhism I still don't see the point of calling myself a buddhist, and I like the freedom of not belonging to any religious camp.
There is no real evidence of anything supernatural having ever happened. Therefore I don't believe in anything supernatural, which makes me an atheist.
