[snip - boilerplate]

I find it peculiar that theists so often accuse atheists of re-defining
the word "atheism" as "absence of theism" (which is what it really
means), yet they never seem to criticize or make fun of themselves for
their implicit attempts to re-define the word "death" (which is final).

Why do you call it death and then immediately proceed to contradict
yourself by claiming that that death is an awakening? If it's death,
then the possibility of an awakening is obviously and clearly ruled out.

It gets even better than that -- a 5-year-old child recently told me
about the Periodic Table of the Elements. She knew the names and uses
for many of the elements, and referenced the one- and two-letter
symbols interchangeably with the element names. People can learn
things at any age, and 5 years is definitely no exception.

The periodic table of elements for kids that she learned it from can be
found on this web page (click on chart for high-resolution version):

http://www.atheistfrontier.com/people/dmitri-mendeleyev/

I encourage you to get that chart printed and laminated so that you can
give it to friends with young children. It's the kind of gift that is
meaningful and will be appreciated later in life after the kids grow up.

Some time in the 1980s I was coming back by train from Swindon to
Manchester (change at Gloucester and Birmingham).

A mother and child got on the train and sat opposite me.

I was reading a railway magazine, and the kid says "look, Mummy, a
class 40" (on the cover). Kids that young didn't usually recognise
individual locomotive classes. So I asked the mother how he knew.

It turned out that her husband was another train freak, and that I
actually knew him professionally - he was a well known recruiter in my
field.

I showed him a few more pictures from the magazine and he recognised
them all, including the slightly smaller class 37.

I asked how he knew it was a 37 not a 40, and he pointed to the wheels
(6 axles instead of 8).

Get them interested in something and you'd be surprised how much they
learn.

That's very good. Do you think that Circumcision (Cu) should be in the
Quack block rather than the Delusion block though? They also screwed
up with Homeopathy because "H2O" is not a single element (they probably
should have called it "Ho" or something similar).

Thanks for that table, it's a great idea.

Jesus made the same point thousands of years before you!


Matthew 19:23-24

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, �Truly I tell you,
it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the
kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is
easier for a camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for someone who is rich to enter
the kingdom of God.�

Note, it does not say IMPOSSIBLE, just harder.

1 Timothy 6:10

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil.
Some people, eager for money, have wandered from
the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs."

When ideas are so ORIGINAL and so TRUE natural selection
ensures they endure, just like successful DNA!

If only Bukakke had one before he tried to tell everyone that the dust

The concept of death as an awakening is a salve for those who are
scared of shuffling off the mortal coil.

Nobody knows what's going to happen after the cells stop dancing,
Fidem, and that is just so unbelievably scary for most people that
there is an entire set of businesses dedicated to the softening of the
blow.

A lot of people find comfort in the notion that they will bask in the
soft light of a benevolent deity; others want to believe that their
enemies will be consigned to a lake of fire; yet others feel that an
awakening/reincarnation will somehow give them a second chance at what
they wasted the first time around.

I think that's awful.

I think it's grotesque that people can find solace in the idea that
they'll get another chance, or that they'll be wrapped in swaddling
clothes because they need so much succor after their lives are over.

As far as we know, we have this existence. We might hope for something
else, or better, or worse, but we only know what we have now. And
wasting that is a tragedy, and people just want to be given the excuse
that there's something else after... because this absolves them of
responsibility.

Death isn't an awakening. It's the end. And that alone should fill
everyone with the urgent need to pack as much life in as possible, as
much learning as possible, as much of everything as possible, and not
spend a whole lot of time in the pursuit of what comes next.

If the deity is omniscient, and omnipotent, he's already going to know
everything you've done, and will act accordingly, so contrition and
repentance at the end aren't going to have a whole lot of weight, are
they?

No. I choose to learn now, and ask questions now, and think now, and
let my "immortal soul" handle its own affairs after my physical body's
given up. After all, it has all the time forever at its disposal.

Cheers,
Dreamer

"Wishful speculations"? Hardly. "Hypotheses based on known
physical and chemical processes" is quite a bit closer, deny
it as you may.
No, thanks; I tend to avoid YouTube and Facebook.

Nope; sorry. Science, including evolutionary biology, is
about observation and hypothesis, not belief in the
supernatural. And those (like you) who deny the validity of
those observations because they imagine they contradict a
particular religious belief are science deniers.

> There is nothing

Name ten biologists (not "scientists", but specifically
biologists; other disciplines are irrelevant) who agree with
you. Be prepared to support your claims with cites to
publicly-available evidence.

Oh, and quotes from "authorities" who published them prior
to, let's say, 1980 can be omitted, since in such a
fast-moving field they're no more relevant than Plato or
Aristotle.

Evolutionary theory has nothing to do with atheism; one is
about science and the other is about religious faith. Sorry
you didn't know that.

Really? Here's another quote for you:

"Not only is the opinion of a single nuclear scientist of
questionable relevance, Dr. T. N. Tahmisian does not appear
to be a real person."

And even *if* he's not a figment of the imagination of a

Biologists? hahaha :) What the hell do they know about the world?

Anyone who suggests that the world created itself without ID is a
brain-damaged simpleton, doesn't matter what he calls himself or how
many letters are after his name. Get it, Bob?

You see, atheism is a disease of the mind that makes people extremely
dumb and dull. That's why you don't find happy and satisfied or
generous atheists. Atheists are the scum of the earth, exactly as
predicted by God in the Bhagavad Gita - Krishna says:

Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among
mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the
atheistic nature of demons do not surrender unto Me. (Bg 7.15)

Here is what thinking people have to say about your retard creation
myth...

with natural selection, has resulted in the creation of thousands of
new proteins with extraordinarily diverse and well optimized
functions. This problem is particularly acute for tightly integrated
molecular systems that consist of many interacting parts." --Two
leading biologists in Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics

Janhu, which of the following is your idea of atheism:

1) Someone who rejects the idea of gods.

2) Someone who has never been exposed to the idea.

3) Someone who considers the whole idea a pointless argument if the two
parties discussing it do not agree on what a "god" is.

4) Something else?

That's a good point. The Vedic Version, as usual, rules supreme in
that is offers a consistent definition of God. There are several
definitions given, but personally I like the one offered by Brahma -
the god of creation:

Krishna, also known as Govinda, is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
He has a body consisting of eternity, knowledge and bliss. He has no
other cause than Himself, for He is the cause of all other causes.

(Brahma-samhita 5.1)

So, in short, God is defined as the cause of all causes. This is also
confirmed in Vedanta Sutra - janmady yasya yatah - the Supreme is
that source from which everything emanates.

Here's a radical idea, Jesper: why don't you try actually learning
something about the field and find out for yourself what biologists
know, and how they know it? It's no one's fault but your own that
you're comically ignorant of every topic you attempt to discuss.

The sage, Kavi says:

Although the duality of the material world does not ultimately exist,
the conditioned soul experiences it as real under the influence of his
own conditioned intelligence. This imaginary experience of a world
separate from Krsna can be compared to the acts of dreaming and
desiring. When the conditioned soul dreams at night of something
desirable or horrible, or when he daydreams of what he would like to
have or avoid, he creates a reality that has no existence beyond his
own imagination. The tendency of the mind is to accept and reject
various activities based on sense gratification. Therefore an
intelligent person should control the mind, restricting it from the
illusion of seeing things separate from Krsna, and when the mind is
thus controlled he will experience actual fearlessness.

--Srimad Bhagavatam, 11.2.38

I'd say that people who reject bad, inconsistent explanations of God
are agnostics rather than atheists. Atheists just reject God whatever
the qualitty of the explantion. That's because atheists by definition
are less intelligent.

>Circular reasoning ... is a logical fallacy

Whatever. The Vedic definition of God is superior to definitions
offered by any other religion on the planet. There is no question -
religious, philosophical, existential or otherwise which is left
unanswered in the Vedic tradition. That's not my belief, it's a fact
that can be investigated and verified by any open-minded person.
That, of course, excludes the vast majority of atheists.

Krishna says:

My dear Arjuna, because you are never envious of Me, I shall impart to
you this most confidential knowledge and realization, knowing which
you shall be relieved of the miseries of material existence. (Bg. 9.1)

This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all
secrets. It is the purest knowledge, and because it gives direct
perception of the self by realization, it is the perfection of
religion. It is everlasting, and it is joyfully performed. (Bg. 9.2)

Holy crap. I never thought I'd say this, but this is as dumb as Duke.

Look, Jahnu or Jesper or whatever you want to go by... atheists just
lack belief in the supernatural. It says nothing about their
intelligence, and the level of irony of you commenting on the
intelligence of others is astonishing.

What possible reason would an atheist have to investigate a tradition
based on a supernatural entity? Your initial premise is already
flawed...

Start with something verifiable and repeatable that can't be explained
by a natural phenomenon, and we'll go from there, 'kay?

Krishna says:

The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal
fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very
hard with the six senses, which include the mind. (Bg. 15.7)

The living entity in the material world carries his different
conceptions of life from one body to another as the air carries
aromas. Thus he takes one kind of body and again quits it to take
another. (Bg. 15.8)

The living entity, thus taking another gross body, obtains a certain
type of ear, eye, tongue, nose and sense of touch, which are grouped
about the mind. He thus enjoys a particular set of sense objects. (Bg.
15.9)

The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body,
nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of
the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can
see all this. (Bg. 15.10)

The endeavoring transcendentalists who are situated in
self-realization can see all this clearly. But those whose minds are
not developed and who are not situated in self-realization cannot see
what is taking place, though they may try to. (Bg. 15.11)

Hey Bird Twat, you've got worthy company :) You two ought to get

in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same
questions which exercise us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"When doubts haunt me, when disappointments stare me in the face, and
I see not one ray of hope on the horizon, I turn to Bhagavad Geeta and

hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of

"The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been
current in by gone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided
by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states 'behold we are not an
earthly but a heavenly plant.' This correlation can be discerned by
what Krishna expresses in chapter 15 of Bhagavad Geeta." - Carl Jung

There's absolutely no chance of anyone here (other than your fellow

Good, what a relief :)

Krishna says:

Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My
transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be. (Bg. 9.11)

Those who are thus bewildered are attracted by demonic and atheistic
views. In that deluded condition, their hopes for liberation, their
fruitive activities, and their culture of knowledge are all defeated.
(Bg. 9.12)

BTW, you know this dumb-blonde joke?

A dumb blonde comes into the doctor's office. She has her head-phones
on. The doctor gives her instructions, but she doesn't seem to hear a
word he says. Docotor goes, take off your phones so you can hear what
I say. No reaction. Doctor, annoyed, leans over his desk and rips off
the head-phones, and the dumb-blonde makes som choking noices and
drops dead on the spot. The doctor is shocked Then he listens to her
head-phones - breathe in, breathe out, breathe in, breathe out, he
hears a voice in the head-phones :)

You need to learn to read for comprehension. Whether or not
anyone can find wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita (assuming those
are actual quotes and not something you fabricated), Krishna
is imaginary, and those who claim otherwise are deluded in
that, regardless of how wise they may be otherwise. *And
nothing you posted refutes that*. Lots of people who don't
believe in Christ as a deity, or in a six-day Creation, find
wisdom in the Bible.

As opposed to a burnt-out hippie drummer who sits around uselessly
chanting to imaginary smurfs, and spends the rest of his time arguing
fruitlessly with atheists, Jesper? Your complete lack of
self-awareness (not to mention any sense of irony) is endlessly
fascinating.

Sorry, but no, it's not.

You're an idiot who doesn't even understand his own posts.
Not one of your quotes even mentioned Krishna, and neither
do the ones below. Here's the part you snipped because you
couldn't refute it:

"You need to learn to read for comprehension. Whether or not
anyone can find wisdom in the Bhagavad Gita (assuming those
are actual quotes and not something you fabricated), Krishna
is imaginary, and those who claim otherwise are deluded in
that, regardless of how wise they may be otherwise. *And

believe in Christ as a deity, or in a six-day Creation, find
wisdom in the Bible."

Note especially that last sentence, and try to understand
its meaning.

>hahaha :) see how atheism has wasted your brain away, Bob?

You have no idea whether I'm an atheist or a fundamentalist
Christian; both would agree with the fact that Krishna is
imaginary. Sorry you're too stupid to realize that.

Jesper, the list of things you obviously don't give a shit about -
things like honesty, logic, science, history, intellectual integrity,
and knowing what the hell you're talking about - is practically
endless. What's truly amazing, however, is that you regard your apathy
towards, and deficiencies in these areas as positive traits, rather
than the major character flaws they actually are.

Krishna says:

Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among
mankind, whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the
atheistic nature of demons do not surrender unto Me. (Bg.15)

Get an education, bozo... here is what some thinking people have to

"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad Geeta. It was the first of

"The Bhagavad Geeta is the most systematic statement of spiritual
evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear
and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed;
hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of

"The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been
current in by gone ages. The link with Vedic conceptions is provided
by Plato in his Timaeus in which it states 'behold we are not an
earthly but a heavenly plant.' This correlation can be discerned by
what Krishna expresses in chapter 15 of Bhagavad Geeta." - Carl Jung

Get a sense of irony, Jesper. You're probably the most miseducated
individual I've ever encountered, either online, or in real life.
There is absolutely no subject in which you display even minimal
competence, and most of what you *think* you know is comically wrong,
because the cult leaders you're getting your misinformation from don't
know what the hell they're talking about either.
