My long insight on atheism, religion, and the like
2 years ago
This started off as a rant on Bluesky that jumped into some deeper introspection and I thought I'd paste this here since I was advised by a friend to be careful on Bluesky, and see their point, as anyone can see my stuff. Though Bluesky 🦋 seems less public than X. These are separated by post/skeet. Enjoy.
Religious people who complain other religions shove their faith down other's throats whilst doing that because they claim their religion is all fact and truth and follows prophecy. Getting "scientists" to stand by them and argue other scientists on issues like global warming.
When the science they support comes from a religious source. If you really claim your beliefs to be true, that is quite the same as what other religions do. Even if you're biblical, my beliefs aren't, as far as I know. Aside from objective wrongs like murder.
Atheism and agnosticism are generally an absence of theism. It doesn't really matter if you like Darwin or not. If you don't believe in a God, you're atheist. If you're undecided or not entirely sure, you're agnostic. And most religion revolves around some set of theistic beliefs.
Without looking into history at all, you can give this some thought and decide on your own terms if you believe in any God. There were points I came to pantheism, but really, I'm pretty agnostic leaning atheist in the anthropomorphic God sense.
Something I don't get about religion is how man made beliefs commonly associated with religion would exist in nature or the universe. It being scriptured isn't enough to get my faith. Humans have many of their ideas documented.
If there is no agnostic atheist, I'm technically agnostic. You can be of religious faith, but it's pretty odd to look down on people for not taking your word for something by default. I would have to have a reason.
It's so strange to consider atheism a religion when the requirement to being one is an overall lack of belief in what makes up most religions. If atheism is wrong, then technically, there is or was at least one conscious divine creator of the universe.
It's not about things other atheists say. Science generally still applies at a large scale, which most atheists support because it's common for religion to deny them.
Gone past the point of tasteful writing. It makes my previous points sound better than the latter.
Btw, my reason for bringing up Darwin is, I never actually read anything about him. I'm missing a good chunk of education and history kind of because of the material I either forgot or was never taught. I can't ask people on the opposing end much because their worldview is generally too simplistic.
