Atheism

in anything that it might/will be hard to say/tell. For example, I’m atheist that I don’t really know and it’s hard to tell what religion I believe in, my mom’s side of the family believes in Buddhism, Confucianism/Atheism and my dad’s side of the family believes in Christianity/Atheism. This proves that, usually based on my parents’ religious beliefs, that I must pray for my deceased ancestors, my 2 deceased grandfathers

coined the term “Possibilianism”. An exploratory middle ground position between atheism and theism. In this essay I argue that possibilianism as a new standpoint in the debate on the existence of God is irrelevant, as it holds the same ideological stance as agnosticism. In an article written by Eagleman titled “Beyond God and atheism: Why I am a possibilian” he says that “we know too little to commit to strict atheism, and too much to commit to any religion” (Eagleman, 2), this is the driving force

By definition, ‘Theism’ is the belief of the existence of god one or more gods. In the English language adding an ‘A’ to the beginning of the word automatically takes the original definition, and turns it completely around. So Atheism is, by definition, the belief of no God, nor Satan. As an Atheist however, I do not need the threat of eternal damnation to make the correct choice, morally. Most Atheists are morally good because it is right to be. However, everyone is morally acceptable

Should my bisexuality and atheism be revealed to my parents, within their evangelical worldview, I would be damned to hell by God. They would fear for my eternity; and I honestly believe, based on the reactions of similar parents in similar situations, they would likely be willing

To say that “something” is a proof one must understand that this “something” must have been tested and with sufficient evidence, in order to produce a belief in its truth. An argument on the other hand is not so. An argument can be a discussion involving differing points of view. Moreover, mainly an argument is a person’s attempt to persuade or present evidence from their point of view. Nevertheless, McCloskey makes claims from arguments as though they are proofs. He then gives reasons as to why

workers are working 12 hour days for less than 2 dollars. Governments are doing all in their powers to keep unions from forming all in the name of capitalism. Therefore if Harris’ argument is that only morality can be accomplished by atheism, and there is no true form of Atheism, then there can be no true form of morality(religion of the market 67-70). Harris also groups all Christians into one huge pool of rifle toting, homophobes, who’s main concern is to prevent murder of the unborn, all the while

article, "On Being an Atheist". Most people assume atheists are simple nihilists who do not subscribe to any sort of convictions or beliefs. The author's text, however, refutes this conventional viewpoint by producing several reasons for embracing atheism, many of which are studied and labored counterarguments to typical claims of theists. The most important part of this essay is found in its opening paragraphs, in which the author makes a very prudent point in explaining the fact that most theists

This paper aims to argue why Descartes would not think that an atheist can have the same certainty about existence of material object as he, himself has. First, it will outline the definition of Descartes’ existence theory of material object. It will then outline the atheist’s theory about existence of material object. Second, it will outline why an atheist cannot have the same inevitability about existence of material objects as Descartes believe. Finally, it will conclude that Descartes believed

to thoughts of suicide nor hope to escape their current situation by traveling to a better time in their life. They are completely mindful of their situation. With this being said, I cannot help but draw connections between the revolt response and atheism.

For instance, one is comfort because he or she is not worried about why God did a certain deed, since there is no God, and there is no worry concerning where the soul will be in the afterlife since there is no afterlife. Atheism provides virtue, according to McCloskey, since, for example, instead of advising a person who is in need to pray to God, one can personally help that person. Contrariwise, William Lane Craig argued, in the article “The Absurdity of Life without God
