Map Overview Introduction Common Arguments Freethought Organizations ... Miscellany The Atheism Web An Introduction to Atheism by mathew Danish translation This article attempts to provide a general introduction to atheism. Whilst I have tried to be as neutral as possible regarding contentious issues, you should always remember that this document represents only one viewpoint. I would encourage you to read widely and draw your own conclusions; some relevant books are listed in a companion document To provide a sense of cohesion and progression, I have presented this article as an imaginary conversation between an atheist and a theist. All the questions asked by the imaginary theist are questions which have been cropped up repeatedly on alt.atheism since that newsgroup was created. Some other frequently asked questions are answered in a companion document Please note that this article is arguably slanted towards answering questions posed from a Christian viewpoint. This is because the FAQ files reflect questions which have actually been asked, and it is predominantly Christians who proselytize on alt.atheism

Solid Rock Ministries Last Update June 4, 2004 Welcome About SRM What's New Topics Apologetics Articles Atheism Church and State ... WebLog Links Bookmarks Be sure to visit CounterPoints , the Solid Rock Ministries WebLog Welcome to Solid Rock Ministries SRM is dedicated to defending the Christian Worldview in a society that is increasingly anti-Christian. Our aim is two fold: One, to present Christianity as offering the best explanation of our world and humankind's place in it, and second, to critique alternative worldviews, be they theistic or atheistic. While we endeavor to present everything on this site in an atmosphere of tolerance and understanding, realizing that issues of this sort are never beyond doubt or dispute, we also recognize the exclusivity of contrary positions. We, therefore, have no qualms about presenting our belief in the superiority of the Christian Worldview, agreeing with Angelo M. Codevilla that "there is not now and never has been a better predictor of prosperity, family, and civility than the practice of Judaism and Christianity." We must never become a nation that propounds an official religion or suggests that some religions are more American than others. At the same time, one of the official religions we must never propound is the religion of secularism, the suggestion that there is something un-American about trying to live life in a way that puts God first. Quite the contrary: Preserving the ability of the faithful to put God first is precisely the purpose for which freedom of religion must exist.

I hope you enjoy this website as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Before I go any further, I'd like to thank my excellent friend, Susan Osthaus, for her time and patience teaching me how to put a website together. Without her help, this website would not exist. I'd also like to thank some of the folks from alt.atheism for their assistance at times when I was ready to pull my hair out, especially Fish, Maria, Lori and Rian. My thanks to you all. MY BELIEFS I don't believe in the supernatural - gods, devils, heaven, hell, creationism, astrology, life after death, etc., but I do believe in respecting the right of others to follow their own beliefs, as long as their beliefs don't harm me or others mentally or physically.

I expect death to be nothingness and, for removing me from all possible fears of death, I am thankful to atheism ." H. Havelock Ellis: " And it is in his own image, let us remember, that Man creates God ." George H.W. Bush , as Presidential Nominee for the Republican party; 1987-AUG-27: "No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered as patriots. This is one nation under God." Dan Barker, Author: " Losing Faith in Faith :" I have something to say to the religionist who feels atheists never say anything positive: You are an intelligent human being. Your life is valuable for its own sake. You are not second-class in the universe, deriving meaning and purpose from some other mind. You are not inherently evil you are inherently human, possessing the positive rational potential to help make this a world of morality, peace and joy. Trust yourself. "

31. AGORA: Winter 2002 Issue: Sukumaran Brief section from a larger article by Biju Sukumaran. http://www.tamu.edu/chr/agora/sukumaran3.html

Elements of Atheism in Hindu Thought Biju Sukumaran Page 3 of 13 Prev Next Carvaka The Carvaka school of Indian atheistic materialism probably best represents a pure school of such thought in the world of Hindu philosophy. The name “Carvaka ” can be traced to two places in the Hindu mythos. Certain Sanskrit texts refer to a philosopher named Carvaka who began this school of extreme materialism. In the Mahabarata , Carvaka is a raksasa friend of the prince Duryodhana who disguised himself as a Brahmin and reviled Yudhisthira’s triumphant entry into Hastinapura after the Great War, preaching profane, atheistic, and heretical doctrines. He was soon exposed by real Brahmins and reduced to ashes by the fire of their eyes. The latter Carvaka most likely represents a metaphorical polemic by the outraged leaders of more orthodox schools of thought. This school of thought is also called Lokayata, from loka , the Sanskrit word for “world,” since it holds that only the materialistic world exists and nothing more, such as the soul, heaven, or hell. Virtually all that is known of this system of thought derives from polemical texts trying their best to refute or deride their doctrines. Some texts include the

ATHEISM, AGNOSTICISM, FREE THINKING, HUMANISM, etc. Click below to visit our sponsors. One of the problems in the field of religion and ethical systems is that certain terms (e.g. Atheism, Agnosticism, Humanism) have multiple meanings. Perhaps the most impressive example of confusion are the terms "Witch" and "Witchcraft." They have at least 17 different definitions. Those who have abandoned traditional organized religious beliefs and practices define themselves in various ways: Agnosticism is not a religion or complete ethical system. It is simply a belief that we cannot prove either the existence or the non-existence of deity; (i.e. of one or more gods, one or more goddesses, or combinations of the above). Many Agnostics believe that we cannot know anything about deity or deities at the present time, but that this could conceivably change in the future. Atheism is also not a religion or a complete ethical system. It has two main definitions: The lack of a belief that deity, in the form of one or more supernatural gods or goddesses, exists. American Atheists define an Atheist to be a person who "

33. Atheism And Intraorganizational Free Speech Michael Martin argues that atheistic organizations should generally allow their members to criticize them. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/michael_martin/free_speech.html

PAID ADVERTISEMENTS Library Modern Michael Martin : Atheism and Intraorganizational Free Speech (1996) Order books by Michael Martin here. Atheism and Intraorganizational Free Speech (1996) Michael Martin What position should atheists take on freedom of speech? In particular, what stand should atheistic organizations take in regard to the freedom of speech of its members? Should they censor members who do not adhere to particular doctrines which, even if they are not entailed by atheism, are deemed important by the organization? Consider two hypothetical cases that illustrate the problem. 1. The Case of the Gotham City Rationalists and Humanists: The Gotham City Rationalists and Humanists (GCRH) maintain that people who are rational should not believe in God and should accept a humanistic value theory, that is, they should believe that moral values are relative to human experience and that values are made by human decisions, not discovered. Mary Jones is a member of GCRH who disagrees. She believes that there are important values that cannot be incorporated into this framework and has asked if she can present a paper to GCRH defending her claim. Her request is denied and her membership in GCRH is terminated by a polite letter from the President saying that her further participation in GCRH would serve "no useful purpose" and that her membership is being canceled for "the good of the organization."[ The Issue I will not be concerned here with the legal issue of whether GCRH and CCA infringe the first amendment rights of Jones and McCord. Rather, I want to discuss whether GCRH and CCA acted both morally and wisely in taking the actions they did. I will argue that they did not. My position will be based on two arguments. First, using an argument first developed by John Stuart Mill, I will maintain that suppression of the speech of Jones and McCord is unjustified. Second, I will argue that atheistic organizations who censor the views of their members adopt the suppressive methods of traditional religion and thus are in prima facie conflict with the goal of freedom that such organizations have fought so long to achieve. As a result their actions are inconsistent and self-defeating.

You can print out this page from your browser [File/Print] or save it [File/Save As/(name).txt] CONTENTS. What is the central belief of pantheism? Why do pantheists believe in pantheism? What's the evidence for pantheism? How do you know the universe is divine? If I accept pantheism, what difference would it make? Is pantheism just theism in disguise? Is Pantheism just atheism or humanism in disguise? What is the difference between pantheism and panentheism? Does pantheism have anything to do with pantheon or polytheism? What is the relationship between paganism and pantheism? Has pantheism got anything to do with animism? Does pantheism believe that all things are one? Does pantheism believe that humans are one with nature and the cosmos? If God is everything, then surely all actions are God's actions, and there is no distinction between good and evil? Does pantheism believe that everything is predetermined and there is no free will?

Certainly, my psychological colleagues have found it odd and even, I might add, a little disturbing. After all, psychology, since its founding roughly a century ago, has often focused on the opposite topic-namely the psychology of religious belief. Indeed, in many respects the origins of modern psychology are intimately bound up with the psychologists who explicitly proposed interpretations of belief in God. William James and Sigmund Freud, for example, were both personally and professionally deeply involved in the topic. Recall The Will to Believe by James, as well as his still famous

Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful [the Babel fish] could have evolved by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non -existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
