    Any Downside to Atheism?

    hmm. by your response I can tell you missed the point and took it personally. I was being facetious when I said it sucks for you, because realizing that you share beliefs with a jew can be an unfortunate experience, and for that i apologize.

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    i can see how it was confusing. i guess i'm so jealous that christians and atheists get to argue with one another about the existence of G-d that as a jew i feel left out. truth is, I think judaism intersects alot with atheism to a certain extent, especially when it comes to struggling with...

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    look. get together with all your atheist friends, say, in las vegas. get a hotel, make a conference and settle it once and for all: what defines an atheist? because obviously the smart atheists think its something and all the dumb atheists think its something else. secondly, who said being...

    do me a favor... find in the hebrew bible where it uses the words "believe" and "G-d" in the same sentence. let me know when you are done.

    Why science and religion are incompatible.

    imho, science is just a more rigorous form of judaism.

    hahah.. I really enjoyed this post, especially coming from a self-proclaimed "crap sack". jolly good. now then, life is defined by some to be negative entropy, or "negentropy". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negentropy

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    if you take atheism to be "the belief that g-d does not exist", then yes I am out to mock it and belittle it. however, if you take atheism to be a skeptical world view where belief in G-d is the result of empirical scientific proof, then I would say to you 2 things: 1. there is merit in...

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    there is an old hasidic saying about the miracles performed by the baal shem tov. if you believe all the stories about his miracles are true, then you are a fool. however, if you pick a story and try to prove its falsehood, you are a heretic. that is to say, the stories are not meant to be...

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    alright. i reeeeeeeally hate being taken out of context. what I said has _nothing_ to do with male homosexuality. _nothing_. i was really trying to express what i understand as the dichotomy between the sacred and the profane. our females have something beautiful, next to something disgusting...

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    its not a theory, its more of an observation... i see it alot but not 100% of the time. i can't help but connect rebelliousness with atheism. p.s. I read your blog post, and it seems like you are really excited about something but I still have no idea what it is. kind of reminds me of someone...

    Any Downside to Atheism?

    you know, back in those days, the phrase "do you believe in G-d" just did not compute. its like as if today someone asked you point blank, "do you believe that you exist?" ummm, its not really a matter of believing because you don't have to make any leaps of faith to figure out if you really...
