Atheist/non religious furs

[anoni]

But if there is no scientific evidence  to proove the theory of an intelligent creator,  by deductive [or is it inductive logic] is that not reason enough to dismiss the idea of divine creation as false?

No not really. Science is entirely separate from religion, it's a philosophy on life. You dismiss it in a scientific context, sure, you say "Science has found no evidence of a god", that's true, but science has found no evidence for a lot of things, it's found no evidence of any philosophy, it's found no evidence of any moral subjective choice, it's found no evidence of the human experience. For example, science can't prove that consciousness or self-awareness really exists, there is no scientific evidence, what-so-ever, that the people you talk to on a daily basis are conscious. We know that their frontal lobe probably activates, but we don't know if they're self-aware, we could all be zombies simply mimicking a person that is conscious, there is really no scientific reason to believe that people are actually conscious.

  So because there is no scientific evidence to suggest people are self aware, do you not believe people are? Do you not believe that the people you talk to are in fact conscious people? Of course you do, but you don't believe that based on scientific principles, you believe that because of philosophical and moral principles. You've made a choice to believe other people in the world are conscious, there's no scientific reason to believe that, but you've made that choice anyway. Whether a god does or does not exist follows the same principle, there is no scientific evidence for or against a god, the question is quite literally outside the realm of science, so whether you believe a god exists or not is a choice you make, not a scientifically backed theory.

PS: It'd be inductive not deductive

I'm an atheist. But my whole thing is, I don't care. If you believe differently, cool. If not, cool.


My rule? Don't be a complete jerk. I don't care what the heck you believe, we still gotta spend time with each other in this ball of dirt called earth, so let's make it as peaceful as we can.

I'm similar to Zoey's view I don't believe in a god, you can't convince me of there is one but if you find comfort in religion then that's fine. Being a scout leader I'm often around people of different faiths and I don't mind the odd experience with in religion, but Generally as with anything with me if its rubbed in my face I get annoyed at it.

I'm an atheistic skeptical animist, to put it simply. I know, it sounds stupid.
I'm open to there being more to the world than we can observe with certainty. But I believe if there is one or multiple powers controlling the universe, it's not a conscious being like a god, but a force that just is and does. I believe gods are basically personified natural forces, a concept humans used in hopes to better understand the world around them.

This I agree with this for the most part

So a similar thing to the force?

I believe more along the lines of an earth spirit kinda thing

[Dexter Dare]

😓 Oright so like Mother Nature? 😅

I'm agnostic, I used to be Christian however I got a little sceptical when looking at the similarities between Christianity and "ancient myths". It's a little hard to bite down and believe something when it seems to be based on something which is dubbed widely as a "myth".

[Dante Zairou]

Its because it is all myth .-. None of it is true , there is no quantifiable proof any of it Is actually true, there is only word of mouth passed down through the generations, aaand we all know how reliable that is *sarcasm*

[Alonzorion]

Well, I feel if anything is true, it must be the "myth" that most religion is based off of, ie. Ancient Egyptian religion, so yeah. Praise be to Horus.

[Dexter Dare]

i thought they found roman records of some guy called jesus?

[Silentium Potens]

I'm pretty sure that there was some sort of record of a guy name Jesus.  I haven't checked in a while, though.

[Aconitum]

I believe that a Jesus existed, just not that he had all these magical wizard powers everyone seems to think he had. I believe that Jesus was a regular guy doing good things in the name of acceptance and tolerance. Much like, MLK and all them.

[kalan]

I follow the beliefs and teaching of chezaism and stuff

[Alonzorion]

I thoroughly believe the part where the was a man called Jesus, but his tales match up too closely to that of Horus. Google it for yourself, Jesus vs. Horus. GO GO GO!
