BEEP! BEEP! IT'S ME.

"Begin at the beginning,and go on till you come to the end: then stop." (Lewis Carroll, 1832-1896)

Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked."Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat."I don't know," Alice answered."Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

"So long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation. "Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

"All right," said the Cat; and this time it vanished quite slowly, beginning with the end of the tail, and ending with the grin, which remained some time after the rest of it had gone. "Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin," thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in my life!"

Like Arthur Dent from "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", if you do not have a Babel Fish in your ear this blog will be completely unintelligible to you and will read something like this: "boggle, google, snoggle, slurp, slurp, dingleberry to the power of 10". Fortunately, those who have had the Babel Fish inserted in their ear, will understood this blog perfectly. If you are familiar with this technology, you will know that the Babel Fish lives on brainwave radiation. It excretes energy in the form of exactly the correct brainwaves needed by its host to understand what was just said; or in this case, what was read. The Babel Fish, thanks to scientific research, reverses the problem defined by its namesake in the Tower of Babel, where a deity was supposedly inspired to confuse the human race by making them unable to understand each other.

Are You An Atheist Or An Agnostic?



I am compiling a blogroll of atheists and agnostics. Do you consider yourself to be in either of these categories? And if so, would you like to be added to the blogroll?

Please leave a reply here.

I am an atheist living in the USA. I am surrounded by dangerous people who believe that they do the will of invisible, mysterious, all powerful beings. They believe in devils, angels, hell, heaven, and gods. They thank god for good things that happen and take the blame for all bad things that happen. They think that I am the crazy one. My name is Paul Maybury Jr.

Please count me as an atheist! There are far too few of us in the U.S. as it is, so I'm happy to be counted on your blogroll. I figure that after we come to terms with the myth of America, we might be ready to tackle the absurdity of believing in a God. Time will tell.

Beep,

I am an intransigent atheist, so feel free to count me in. I too live in the USA and, as Paul Maybury, Jr., said of himself above, I am surrounded by potentially dangerous people who believe they are in contact with invisible magic beings who "see" and "know" more than they do. Christians think of themselves as fishers of men's souls. Think of me as one fish that got away.

Sure, why not? I'm somewhere between an atheist and an agnostic. But I don't care much for either title. Both words assume some abnormality in what would be default position in any other field of thought. I am not an amermaidist just because there is no evidence for mermaids.

you can add my blathering blog http://occamsedge.blogspot.com/

Somewhere between agnostic and atheist

Semantically, there is no content difference between “In the beginning, God said “let there be light” and “from the singularity (the Big Bang) the universe exploded in a burst of energy”.

There is a diametrically opposite world view between the two statements.

For my simple mind the major difference can be stated thusly; The first statement implies explicit knowledge that is handed down from on high, unalterable, unquestionable and non falsifiable. The second implies questioning, wondering and experimentation – and the ability to discard theories that do not adhere to observation and measurement.

As an engineer, I can not look at what little of the universe I’m able to perceive without awe and wonder at how well it all works – however, as a curiosity driven homo sap I also can’t resist poking and teasing with the miniscule tools at my disposal at some the more accessible bits, in my case the electromagnetic spectrum, - I’m still playing with the two slit problem with Schrödinger's cat.

I really dislike labels. Mainly because I have spent way too much time trying to find any suitable ones to fit me. I don't think I am an atheist, but I wouldn't really fall into the agnostic category unless your definitely is that no matter what happens life, I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe there is a "Heaven", maybe there is darkness and dirt, maybe you come back as an "eyeball" or maybe it's the aliens. So, if that qualifies me, I would be honored to be added to your blog roll. How's that for an excruciatingly long answer to a simple question?

Hi!

I consider myself to be an "agnostic animist." I have no need for gods of any form, but think the other species we share this world with are worth trying to communicate with (however we might do that) b/c they can teach us things. Definitely skeptical & pro-science, so count me in.

I am neither Atheist nor Agnostic. I am Pagan, complete with gods, goddesses, and mythologies.

I don't "believe in" the gods and goddesses -- I am the gods and goddesses.

And unlike most folks with religious leanings, I'm fully aware that my mythologies are just that -- myths made up over the course of time (probably in the long cold winters when there wasn't much else to do) to keep mankind from freaking out over the self-aware fact that he is mortal and will someday die.

I'm not quite sure how you're gonna categorize me on this, but I'm looking forward to exploring the blogroll!

Became an atheist 35 years ago at the age of 18. I was told, over and over, that the day would come when I "return to Christ". I have had numerous trials in my 53 years that could have led me fall on my knees and pray - if there were even the tiniest thought in the back of my brain that there were some higher power out there capable of delivering me from my anguish. But I am so thoroughly convinced that no such thing exists, that regardless of my pain there was absolutely no reason to waste a moment of my time with it. For better or worse, this is all I have. I'm not going to make up a "happy ending" to comfort me in my rapidly passing years. I'll die rational, if nothing else.

Add me.

I am not prepared to give up a "secular world view". I have quite a few reasons for this, but I am not sure I will go into them at this stage.

There are forces of dominionism happening from 2 very politically active sides, that of christian dominionism and islamic dominionism. I don't want to live in a theocracy. I enjoy the fruits and benefits of a secular, liberal society.

Always considered myself an atheist...brought up that way.

Some atheists claim I'm not an atheist or that I should call myself an agnostic because I do believe that there are NATURAL forces at work that we may not be able to measure with current technology; just think back to before we knew anything about quantum physics if you don't get how I can think that.

However, I don't believe in any sort of deity putting these forces in order...call me what you will, but I guess I'd consider myself an open-minded, non-theistic skeptic! :)

Anonymous Anonymous said...

You are making the common mistake of assuming that one cannot be both. Atheism is a position of belief while agnosicism refers to knowledge. As an atheist, I do not believe in the existence of gods. As an agnostic, I hold the view that it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of gods. In other words, even if gods did exist, it would be impossible to prove it. Therefore, I am an agnostic atheist...I do not believe in the existence of any gods but I don't believe it is possible to prove (or to know) that gods do not exist.
