With the rise of a gentler, more tolerant Atheism 3.0 it is clear
why atheists love it.. the Na'vi worship the Tree of Life,
they are deeply spiritual beings, and this speaks to the hearts
of lonely and broken atheists looking for meaning! B^]
One Day, the atheists will honour the Spirits of the living beings
they have killed ( over 70,00,000 humans in the last century alone)
just as the Na'vi honour the Spirits of the animals they killed for food.
But clearly the atheists will have to evolve considerably before they
show the wisdom and depth of the religious Na'vi.
The atheists are still obsessed with the trappings of the atheist
materialist civilisation which tried to conquer the Na'vi, seeking
unobtanium:

That presumes what is not in evidence. First, that any Spirits, other
than alcoholic ones, exist.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA
Atheists, who can't understand, let alone debate the
point I am making, want to debate the nature of
'unobtainium' instead!
It's like talking to INFANTS! B^]
The point is NOT what unobtanium is, but that the deeply
Spiritual Na'vi are oppressed by the atheists in their
greed to obtain it!
Their captain even speaks about destroying the Na'vi religion! 8^o
Have NONE of you atheists gushing about the movie actually SEEN IT?

@
@ But in Good Without God, Greg Epstein presents another, more balanced

@ highlights humanity's potential for goodness and the ways in which
@ Humanists lead lives of purpose and compassion. Humanism can offer the

@ celebrate marriages and the birth of our children, and as we care for
@ those who are elderly or sick. In short, Humanism teaches us that we
@ can lead good and moral lives without supernaturalism, without higher
@ powers . . . without God.
@
@ In this constructive response not only to his fellow atheists Richard
@ Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris but also to contemporary
@ religious leaders such as Rick Warren and Jim Wallis, Epstein makes a
@ bold claim for what nonbelievers do share and believe. At a time when
@ the debate about morality rages more fiercely than ever�and when

@ Humanism offers a comfort and hope that affirms our ability to live
@ ethical lives of personal fulfillment, aspiring together for the
@ greater good of all.
