The Spirituality in Atheism

[ledrakezho]

Well, I'm glad to see that my little thread,"Hating Atheism", has caused a bit of a stir. A faith in science or a faith in spirit; the respect i have for atheists is one of the notion of the particular belief in man as a whole. Not to say that occult does not do the same thing, but rather that some atheists recognize the universe in themselves as well as around them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D05ej8u-gU Who is to say that what Neil deGrasse Tyson is not spiritual? Yet it is confirmed science. Many find spirituality in the way the universe works and is. My point is that atheists are spiritual too. That is if they are true atheists that firmly believe what science shows them about nature. Occultism, perhaps is just the more in depth look at that spirituality, the science of the spirituality that is generated by the connection of nature. Religiously, atheists are not illiterate, in fact (I'm not sure if this is true everywhere in the world) a recent survey done in America shows that Atheists know more about religion than religious people. One can only assume that if that is true then they are not illiterate to spirituality and actually read! Saying an Atheist is not connected to anything, and is a zombie in the whole spiritual scheme of things is, in my opinion, rubbish. Even Richard Dawkins, Darwin's rottweiler, is a spiritual man. This statement is just my opinion on the matter. As I said in my previous thread: "I love sparking debate."

I hope by man you do not mean 'Homo Sapien", as that would be entirely incorrect.

Darwin was a moron he said man evolved from apes, but ubtruth apes evolved from man. i teach this in my man in evolution course.

i love how all the atheist were waving his book around like fundamentalists do with the bible. they stopped doing it so eagerly now and it's even funnier to mention him to them

atheists question faith and in order to do that they must research it for many I would think they where first in a theist family and thus would have some background i it. as for most theists they do not question there faith for to do so would have many implications and would go against the idea of faith itself. as more people and families became atheists I wonder if it will also just become the unquestioned faith for most.

then i suppose you have never heard of the secret doctrine, isis unveiled , the stanzas of dzyan and if you haven't then do not speak of what you do not know and if you have you do not understand the secrets of the words. I must say I never have read the work. I guess I'd better do that then, now that you have given me the material in which you pull forth your theory.
