Atheist knowledge

Dope filled world they said and there were a couple of real dopes. I have tried talking to god in my aeroplane and he never replies. The only time he has ever replied I have ended up with a splitting headache and feeling sick the next morning. Still can't remember what he said.

In your aeroplane Yenn, he's probably got his fingernails digging into the tubing and his voice choked in absolute terror!

My faith in the university system has just been restored.

 

Just watched the Weekly with Charlie Pickering (that sentence alone is enough to make any religious nutjob stop reading).

 

A guest was Professor of Theology and Head of Theology and Religion at the University of Exeter, Francesca Stavrakopoulou. Two things struck me as being a bit different to my mental image of a Head of Theology and Religion... one, she's extremely hot, and two, she's an atheist. (Three, she's got a sense of humour...)

 

To sum up the segment, it seemed that she knows a shedload about the bible but considers most of it to be bullsh1t. My kind of theologian!

LOL Yeah she was a hoot.

 

And what I continually find interesting is that as an avowed atheist myself I did read quite a lot of the religious texts (new/old testament, the torah) and so few of the religious people who who want to chat have not ... I put it down to what is required to be religious - its a faith thing

There are more stars in our universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches and deserts on earth. Now they reckon there are more planets than stars. Wow the book of Genesis could not have been more wrong.

 

And our universe might be one of an infinite number... that last idea really boggles my mind and I can't cope with it too well. Its even harder than Jabiru exhaust gas temperatures to come to grips with.

I'm told about 75% of Americans believe the Bible is the absolute word of god, and I have no reason to doubt that figure is somewhere near correct. Despite that, many have no detailed knowledge of what is in it. About 2% know what the first chapter is. (or whatever it's called)

 

I was sent to Sunday to learn how to be GOOD, according to my mother. If I didn't behave like an angel "God would get me" or I would be sent to boarding school as a punishment. Pretty scary stuff .

 

I believed a lot of the stuff I was indoctrinated with till I eventually decided it was too high a price to pay to shut your mind off from considering other possibilities, in m y early twenties.. Some say it's a big monkey on your back. I agree with that. The religious organisations know to get you at the impressionable years and they will have you for life. I don't fear atheists. They are generally pretty relaxed. There's a lot more than many realise. A fairly uniform %, even in Muslim countries, where you can't declare it openly. Nev

I have to admit to becoming a bit religious when I was 200k from home at 1500ft in a glider on a 44 degree day.

 

And it did work, well at least a thermal turned up and as I climbed back to 10,000 ft my atheism returned. What an ungrateful bugger, the almighty must have said, in between looking after all those planets and stuff.

Ah but "he" chose not to smite you down with a nice bolt of lightning or break you in two with turbulence ... and given 'he' is all knowing he already knew what you were going to think eh??

Do fairies have tails? do we mean tales. Nev

well you never know, someone made up that story, complete with mythical monsters, angels, demons and talking snakes. I might as well add my bit, complete with tailed fairies spacer.png Tony

I checked up on the Almighty's workload. If he spends a second of time on each star, to check if there are beings on the planets etc, then he will visit us once for one second every 20 million years. So we have had more than our fair share, gosh listening to me begging for a thermal and then arranging one would have taken more than a few seconds.

I have to admit that despite being an unbeliever and inevitably damned to suffer a tortuous afterlife in a place I don't even believe exists, I do occasionally silently pray to the almighty in some social situations.

 

"Oh please Lord........how much longer am I going to have to listen to this idiot?"
