What Are Some Of The Best Things About Being An Atheist?

[Evan2020]

I’m leaning towards becoming an atheist, so I am curious to hear from people on here who are atheists, what are some of the main things you enjoy about being an atheist?

[naomi24]

Waingro, you make some good points.

[Khandro]

Intellect alone did not create this:

[Khandro]

nor for that matter this;

//They are rooted in exactly the same primal need - to believe in something 'higher' - only the cast list alters, depending which part of the world you grow up in.//

Khandro, there is no primal need to believe in something "higher". There is one to make sense of the world. Some people are satisfied with a god, to explain everything and others want proof or evidence first.

[naomi24]

Khandro, you’re offering music as evidence of the existence of a god? Why? It isn’t evidence.

[Khandro]

n. Do try to keep up, we, or some of us, are talking about intellect & imagination, try a bit of the latter if you can.

[naomi24]

Imagination on a religion thread. That figures, Khandro ....

Naomi at 16.38 - once again you follow your standard pattern - you advance some nonsense about belief in Santa, I point out that it has no connection to the point I am making.

You do your usual cyber-sighing and advise, not that your repeated point is irrelevant, which it is, but that I am once again too stupid to understand it, which I'm not.
And right on cue, your standard can't-be-bothered withdrawal, which is what you always do when you are wrong, but too stubborn to admit it.

You are consistent in your habit of simply walking away from admitting you are wrong, but in this instance, as in others, that consistency is not something you should be proud of.

Pixie - it was I, not Khandro,who advanced the notion that a belief in a 'higher power' was Man's need for comfort in finding reason for things he cannot explain.

I believe your point is a similar version of essentially the same idea.

[royfromaus]

music.

But not as evidence of the existence of a god.

[naomi24]

AH at 22.18 ... yet another reminder to you. Your repetitive critiques are surplus to requirements. This thread, like the vast majority of threads on AB, is not about me.

[andy-hughes]

Naomi - 'critiques'? How you do like to flatter yourself, imagining that your endless evasion deserve anything so lofty.

As for the thread, or any other thread being 'about you', only someone with your unjustified level of self-regard, would imagine even for a moment, that it was, or ever would be.
