Subject: RE: BS: zodiac/star signs.. do you believe?
Atheism is a belief in non-belief. There is just as much "scientific" evidence of the cherished (and shakey) beliefs of atheism as for the cherished (and shakey) beliefs of religion.
Notta smidgeon.
Atheistic beliefs are every bit as shakey and vulnerable as the theistic variety that spawned them.
However, knowledge - specifically, truthful knowledge - is not. Even in the presence of the deepest, darkest, dirtiest and most dangerous of potholes.


Is tht really your sincerely held view? If it is and you're not being ironic, sarcastic or in some way satirical, then I'm aghast.
Aghast at the apparent smug self-satisfaction with an ignorance that effectively snuffs out the Enlightenment and would have us back in the Dark Ages intellectually. You may not like the real world and find it overly challenging, but you can't just make it go away it with such twaddle.
I really do suggest you broaden your reading and challenge yourself.
