GUEST,Blandiver BS: Militant atheism has become a religion p (1845* d) RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion p 24 Sep 13


So your really an agnostic Bdiver.

Balls.

The Spirituality of humanity is common to each & every one of us. It precedes all notions of God and Religion and exists quite independently of them as simply part / parcel of our humanity : our capacity for love, joy, sorrow, heartbreak, compassion, empathy, beauty, art, music, great works, small works, great food, fast food, beer, pop, pies and cake that make it all worthwhile. It's there in our sense of mystery and wonder; crop circles, UFOs, Stonehenge, Inca Roads, pylons, power stations, saxophones, VCS3s, butter & cheese & all. I dare say it's there in our deepest, darkest fears, even our despair that gives rise to our hopes and dreams. We might weep at music, mountains, sunsets, or those stories that truly inspire us. We all feel it equally, just for different things - the only consensus is diversity.

God and godliness are entirely human concepts; we made it up, every last word of it. Just names, ideas, mutable, different for everyone. Because of that - all of that - the whole 50,000 year totality of human experience on Planet Earth of which I am just one tiny though hardly insignificant part (we each of us are the perceptive centres of our own universe : it begins when we are born & it ends when we die) - not only can we say there is no God, but we can also rejoice in that fact. All there is is the truth of being human. The culture. The residues.

Once upon a time people believed in God; once upon a time people died from UTIs. Get over it. No God. No heaven. No hell. No great loss. The human adventure has barely begun.
