Why I am am athiest

I'll read it, looks interesting. Thing is, once one has an out-of-body experience, there are no 'isms' from that juncture onward -- all isms are too heady and out-of-body is headless. It's a wild thing to experience. It's like a thought-point that chases itself in an infinite, timeless swirl, that gives rise to all things, and the universe, in a collective effortless creativity. It's utterly incomprehensible, and unexplainable to the mind,. it's mind-confounding. It comes and goes, every once in a long while, I can't control it. When it first occurred, years ago, I thought I was dead. But then, it became apparent that I wasn't, to my great relief, that is certain.

Once again, you believe that shooting the messenger somehow alters or erases the message.

Despite all your claims of having taken some college courses, you never learned any sort of critical reasoning, not even that which you should have learned in high school.

Are you claiming to have finished high school?

Dude, you are a dope.
 
No matter what you believe or don't believe, it all ends the same way.

And you don't come back.

So in the words of the late, great comedian Red Skelton, "Don't take life too seriously. You're not going to get out of it alive anyway!"

No one is motivated by inane platitudes.

Einstein quoted Spinoza, on this.

Not really. Einstein sometimes cited Spinoza but I don't think he ever actually quoted him.

Interesting. If anything happens on drugs, I wouldn't trust the experience.

You stand at odds with Dutch-Dutch who is on a drug binge-driven pursuit of "truth." If you were ever wondering why he comes across as an alien species speaking in reverse, now you understand the reason.

it's called contrast and having a villain.

it's drama 101.

but you're too dumb for that.

the real message is still morality, not blind obedience to an arbitrary capricious and vain desert demon.

Satan worshipping nutjob totally lacking in morality.

When are you going drive a Ryder truck to a federal daycare center, Fredo? Will it be the FBI building in Dallas?

I'm a pantheist, which is neither. It does (or my brand of it, as I see it) accept that the essence of life has a spiritual basis, but it's not an 'intelligent designer' or an 'almighty god' etc. It's closer to atheist, but not quite. It's more like a force, as in energy. It's not falsifiable, so it's outside of the realm of science. Either you can sense it, or you can't. But that claim is not falsifiable, either. As long as we admit what our 'beliefs' are, and not uphold them as fact, nor conflict with science in any practical way, pantheism is harmless. I became a pantheist because I had an out-of-body experience once, that was very real, and since I used to be an atheist, I had to rectify the experience with something, and that something was pantheism.

So you are agnostic.

You might want to look at panpsychism.

Panpsychism is the view that mentality is fundamental and ubiquitous in the natural world. The view has a long and venerable history in philosophical traditions of both East and West, and has recently enjoyed a revival in analytic philosophy. For its proponents panpsychism offers an attractive middle way between physicalism on the one hand and dualism on the other.

That's called a humanist, Hugo.
