316. Like many have asked before me, why didn't religion act before the shooting ever happened? Why didn't a deity come and act, or at least warn of this tragedy? That is more ignorant than any atheist could muster.

I'm a humanist, and unlike a religious follower, I do not turn to a god when these things happen. Religion has kept humankind stuck in the mental Dark Ages and thus history has consistently repeated itself. A humanist will do whatever it takes to -learn- from these experiences, -inquire- about the causes, effects, and solutions, and -act- upon the data aquired to fight for revision of the system. WHAT RELIGIOUS PERSON WOULD DO THAT? Rather than look to the future for ideas and solutions to problems, they will point fingers and play the scapegoat game until they feel better about the past actions. 'It was a demon,' 'atheists don't care,' et cetera et cetera. Well, I'm happy to inform you that atheists do care - a lot. Atheists certainly feel for and help the Virginia Tech victims. It's merely the media's fault for focusing on the religious aid rather than pure, hardcore human compassion, as if it didn't exist before religion stepped in! Such ideals are incredibly arrogant. Humans are great, inventive, unique creatures, and religion has hindered their inquisitive curiosities towards the beneficiaries of the future. Humans are humans, and humans have emotions, Mr. D'Souza. An unproven, invisible deity can't measure up to the magnificent human mind. 'That's proof that a god created us,' my donkey, sir. Anyone can believe what they want. But to claim that your life is in the hands of something that has never been proven, that this thing created your very existence, and that without it we would crumble, you are insulting humanity in and of itself. How dare you call humans ignorant when you don't know every single one of us personally? How dare you claim that we don't care? You have just destroyed your innate human curiousity with things and ideas that may or may not exist. That, sir, is indescribably inhuman.

"Dawkins further argues that we human beings are simply agglomerations of molecules, assembled into functional units over millennia of natural selection, and as for the soul--well, that's an illusion!"

As an artist as well as a humanist, I would know what an illusion is. My definition of art is anything that is not what it seems, or utilizes something to make it appear to be something else. I can sketch a bunch of lines onto paper, altering their positions and textures to depict a butterfly. In the end, it is the human mind that interprets line on paper as a butterfly - it is not the lines that are the butterfly. The same can be applied to all of nature. At one point, a man claimed that two parallel lines - railroad tracks, to be precise - would always meet at a point. This is illogical. In fact, that man took what he SAW, and stated it true, when in fact it was his mind's interpretation of what his eyes detected, which was warped by the perspective of his positioning in relation to the railroad tracks. All in all, sir, things are not what they seem, and without science to prove that parallel lines can never meet, truly insane assumptions are all that's left. The human being is a strange, curious creature. To call us a chosen species is about as deep as a damp napkin. My purpose in life? To explore what this human can do. We may be masses of molecules, but THAT is so much cooler, so much more proven, and so much more interesting than 'god made you.' With these thoughts in mind, I can do anything my heart desires (in the figurative sense), and not worry about the unproven plan of a deity that I cannot see, when sight itself is the key sense of the human being. I'll go live my life, thank you very much, sir, and without an unfathomable -thing- hovering over my shoulder. I'll cry for the victims. I'll eat my cereal. I'll stay away from drugs, alcohol, theft, and sex simply by the thought of the medical repercussions. I'll pet my cat, I'll draw a picture, I'll succeed in life, I'll follow my morals, I'll swim laps, I'll take your words and make you swallow them so long as they keep plaguing humankind!

317. >Atheists are nowhere to be found.

Have you actually bothered to look for them? I think not.

>Every time there is a public gathering there is talk of God and divine mercy and spiritual healing.

Tragedy brings out some spiritualism. But not always. Quite a wide brush you use.

>the universe has all the properties of a system that is utterly devoid of meaning.

Define meaning. Define properties. Are you even remotely knowledgeable about science and the scientific method? I gather not, by your examples.

I don't believe in your giant sky pixie yet I have meaning in my life: my work has meaning, my family has meaning, my friends are meaningful to me. Why do you need a myth-filled book to tell you to have meaning? And where do you get off saying that atheists don't have meaning in their lives.

>as for the soul--well, that's an illusion!

Please provide evidence for the soul. Can you see it, measure it, weigh it? Is there any way to tell whether someone has a soul or not with any conceivable test? Do animals have souls and what's the difference between an animal soul and a human soul?

Your use of the word "soul" is an assertion that you don't even bother to prove.

>To no one's surprise, Dawkins has not been invited to speak to the grieving Virginia Tech community.

Why would they invite a biologist? It seems better that they would provide mental health assistance before even religious indoctrination like yours.

>What this tells me is that if it's difficult to know where God is when bad things happen,

Where was your god? Didn't bother to warn anyone or stop the shooter. Kinda useless god of yours, hmmm?

>it is even more difficult for atheism to deal with the problem of evil.

So, your contention is that your god actually deals with the problem of evil? Then why did your god allow this to happen? Hint: your god doesn't exist any more than the tooth fairy or santa claus.

>The reason is that in a purely materialist universe, immaterial things like good and evil and souls simply do not exist.

Which has nothing to do with science. Pure straw-man on your part.

>For scientific atheists like Dawkins, Cho's shooting of all those people can be understood in this way--molecules acting upon molecules.

Actually, you're wrong there. Cho's shooting all those people is wacked. Your straw-man is showing.

And, interestingly enough, Cho's family is religious. What do you make of that?

>If this is the best that modern science has to offer us, I think we need something more than modern science.

If this argument is the best you have to offer, you need to try again. Your ignorance of science and the scientific method is staggering. Why don't you pick up a science book and actually learn something?

/Q

Qwerysan at 2:51PM on May 30th 2007

318. In your article, you say:

"For scientific atheists like Dawkins, Cho's shooting of all those people can be understood in this way--molecules acting upon molecules.

If this is the best that modern science has to offer us, I think we need something more than modern science."

This is a fallacious argument. Just because atheism can't comfort you like religion can, doesn't mean atheism is false, or that atheists should adopt religion.

Norm Loman at 9:20PM on May 30th 2007

319. Someone has probably already said this, but whether or not science can do anything to comfort people is not the point. An imaginary friend might serve to comfort a child, but that is no argument for believing in imaginary friends. By the same token, just because religion and God might serve to comfort those who grieve, that doesn't argue for people believing in God.

People might desire a universe in which there is a metaphysical purpose and a divine will but reality is what reality is not what people desire it to be. And the best we can do is to accept the universe on its terms not ours.

When a tragedy happens we should ask ourselves what we can do to keep similar things from happening in the future instead of kidding ourselves that it is all part of some divine plan.

LO at 12:42PM on Jun 3rd 2007

320. It does not surprise me that an atheist would not be asked to speak at such an event. People love the idea of a heaven. Even those who are usure of an afterlife are comforted by this thought of paradise. It would be painful and thus cruel to present the likely reality that this is all the experience available to us during such a horrific time for a family. I wish there were a heaven are at least evidence of one, I'd be the first to do what it takes to ensure my place there. My heart goes out to the families of those students killed at Virginia Tech.

Mark at 1:51PM on Jun 3rd 2007

321. I am very tired of this back and forth between the believers and nonbelievers. The fact is bad things happen to "good" people and good things happen to "bad" people. People suffer horendous things and ask "Why me?" and the only answer is "Why not you?" What on earth makes people think that if an asteroid can hit the earth and wipe out the entire human race that they should be exempt from the pain and suffering of existence.
Why do people have to have an explanation or comfort in the face of the awful realities of life? The fact that "Life's a bitch and then you die" should not be that hard to deal with. The grief I feel today heightens and enhances my appreciation of the joys that I will experience tomorrow.
The universe is pitiless and awesome and I am grateful to experience it for a few moments in its joys and sorrows!

Harley Lofton, III at 4:35PM on Jun 5th 2007

322. I was once told that God allowed evil to exist so that we could come to understand why he had to eradicate it at the end of the world; by seeing the consequences of evil we would applaud him as he destroyed the evil doers.

Let's look at the evidence of evil and consider if we need to be reminded how bad it is.

Over the centuries millions of people have been tortured, murdered, raped and thrown out of the homes and towns; some even out of their country.

I personally have helped to bury young children struck down with cancer, born dead, kill in accidents, so I have seen the "consequenses of evil" at first hand.

All over the world, through out time, people have suffered and died in unspeakable pain, or watched loved ones as they have suffered.

God must believe he made idiots if he thinks we need any more evidence of the consequences of evil. To any thinking person it is as plain as day.

There is no need to prove how bad evil is, there is no need to show us the consequences of our evil ways, we know only to well. So don't tell me we have a god who is allowing bad things to happen for "our own good", because if that is true, then someone had better help us, because God sure isn't.

goadyone at 10:09PM on Jun 9th 2007

323. Some of us don't need to suck on a pacifier when bad things happen. Some of us don't need to believe that Daddy in Heaven is punishing us for our misdeeds. You can those things if you want them. Don't judge us and we won't judge you.

Charlotte Web Designer at 8:28PM on Jun 30th 2007

324. I find this whole post extremely ridiculous. I can't believe people are attempting to respond to such flawed thinking.

Psalm 14:1-3 The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good. The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any that act wisely, that seek after God. They have all gone astray, they are all alike corrupt; there is none that does good, no, not one.

God said this about the atheist.

“The fool has said in his heart, there is no God”

Not a fool, but “the” fool. Webster’s dictionary describes a fool as “a very stupid person, one lacking judgement, common sense, wisdom, a silly person, a simpleton, an idiot, an imbecile, someone that is kept to entertain as a jester, a joke, a victim of a joke, one who is duped, a clown, a trick.” And in Jeremiah 17.9... the prophet said the “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperatley wicked, who can know it?”

Only God knows our deceitful and desperately wicked hearts.

Who wants to be a fool?
God looks to see if any of us are wise
If someone is really wise, they will seek God
How do you seek God?
Is it a long journey?
Is there some secret mystery?
Is there some great deed we must do?
Is there some valiant & heroic struggle?
Since God is already at the door, and already knocking, perhaps we should open the door?
The Bible is God’s word, it is how God speaks to us,

Perhaps we should read it and study it and think about it
Since prayer begins with God’s invitation, shouldn’t our prayers begin by listening to God?
They are all alike
There is no one that does good
All have gone astray
Sin is universal
Sin is not just inevitable, it is a great pervasive evil,
And it eats up all in its reach (you are your brothers keeper)
In the face of universal sin, the only thing to do is repent
And trust in the mercy of God
The good news is that God has mercy on penitent sinners
The good news is that there is a Savior
Jesus is our refuge, not because we deserve refuge
Jesus is our refuge because God has mercy upon us
God give his Word
God creates faith
God knocks at our door
God forgives – wisdom is opening our lives to the mercy of God
And righteousness – that too comes from God through Christ.
You see the Lord will restore the fortunes of his people,
His people are the people who live by grace through faith.

Atheists are all afraid from the truth.
First you claim there is no God and heaven, If you and the Atheists believe there is no "God" than why you hate him so much? If you and the Atheists don't believe in heaven than why you and the Atheists think heaven is a boring place to go to. LOL. You all are hypocrite.
You know there is a God, but you want to live for the devil, Remember the devil know the bible as well as you and me.

In Psalm 14.1.....God said this about the atheist.

The atheist and his atheism.
keywords: atheism, God, atheist, Jesus, agnostic, Christianity, religion, philosophy

Atheism is defined by Webster's New World Dictionary as, "1. the belief that there is no God, or denial that God or gods exist. 2. godlessness". An atheist, therefore, is a person who believes that there is no God. But what does the Bible say?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.
PSALMS XIV:I
Atheism is a belief system that ardently denies the existence of God. God calls the atheist a FOOL. Many atheists spend much time and effort attempting to "disprove" that God exists. According to Romans chapter 1 they know that He exists, but they want to control their own lives and not submit to the Lord. They are actually rather tragic figures just like any other unsaved individual. It is hard to live out their atheism--if they did, they'd actually be considered crazy like O'Hair was.
The atheist's RELIGION (which is simply a system of beliefs based on a philosophy) of atheism is simply a way to try to block out and override the truth--the ol' ostrich-head-in-the-sand technique:
If you try to tell 'em the truth, they say "Shut up!"
stick their heads in the ground and shout--
"There's nobody there,
there's nobody there,
there's nobody there, I tell you!
See, I can't see 'em!"
Well, atheist reader, Somebody is there and His truth has stood from the beginning of time and will continue for all eternity. God is not dependent on you in any way. Blasphemies, wars, famines, and political appointments come and go, but when the dust settles, there's Jesus. And there is nothing you can do about it but breathe out hot air. You will humble yourself before the Lord Jesus or you will be ground to powder.
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
--Jesus Christ
Matthew 21:44
Most atheists have what I call the Don Quixote Syndrome. Let me explain. Cervantes wrote a book about Don Quixote a long time ago. Don Quixote would attack windmills as if they were his enemies. Of course a windmill is nobody's enemy. If what the atheist believes is REALLY his belief, then he would leave people like me alone. After all, if God did not exist, He and His followers would be no enemy to the atheist. We'd just be deluded people. Therefore IF the atheist REALLY believes there is no God and the fool attacks a Christian, then he has the Don Quixote Syndrome because the Christian is not his enemy. Nevertheless, God is real and THAT is why atheists have all these organizations and debates to "prove" that God does not exist. Atheist reader, if you would just be true to what you purport to believe, then you wouldn't have the Don Quixote Syndrome.
My old pastor once ministered to an old atheist who had been a card-carrying atheist for decades--but as he laid on his death bed, he wanted a pastor. I don't know if he got saved or not. When it's time to die, many atheists are understandably uneasy and those that aren't should be terrified.
There is hope for the atheist. He can be saved. In fact, there are plenty of atheists that have come to Jesus Christ. I refuse to argue with them, but will answer honest questions. Unfortunately, many atheists ignorantly say hard things against the Lord Jesus Christ and His people. Don't let fancy titles and big words shake your faith in the One who holds your eternal destiny.
Think about this: What does the atheist have to offer you? Eternal life? Spiritual comfort? Love? Kindness? Comfort in the midnight hour when no one is around? No, none of these. He has nothing to offer you but blasphemy, hell fire and the wrath of God. The atheist will tell you fabulous fairy tales like
you were spontaneously generated from a rock,
a monkey is your daddy,
a fish is your cousin,
you have no hope,
you should just live for today,
when you're dead, you're dead.
If you follow their ignorant advice and die without Christ, you WILL forever regret it and you will remember that someone told you the truth and you scoffed.
Atheists try their hardest to argue a fact that is firmly established--God is real. You cannot look on His creation and its ways and honestly deny it. I won't argue that 2+2=4 and I won't argue that God exists. An atheist once wrote and said, "2+2 is not necessarily 4". Well, write any other number on your math test and see if you get it right.
The bottom line is that atheism is a false belief system composed of fools--it's not new--the Bible told us about atheism thousands of years ago. Is there a real atheist? No. The closest thing to it is someone who has told themselves a lie so many times that they begin to believe it's true.
I think that atheists say there is no God so they won’t have to repent; I think it is a cop-out. This is my view that men seek an out from reality. Some take drugs, drink, there are many ways to “escape” reality. But reality says we need a Saviour. Oh how we need a Savior.

No atheist has any proof that there is no God. He says....... but in reality he has no proof.

tony at 3:25PM on Jul 13th 2007

326. The problem with you and so many others is your personification of evil, where the real term itself really just refers to and act, object or person that is considered to be extremely bad/negative.
But the big mistake made by by so many is this human predisposition to tend to personify ideas such as good and evil, making the term evil refer not to an idea but a supernatural being of sorts, most commonly the "devil".
This makes it impossible for people to deal with events such as this without talking about or addressing the personification of good, god or some other man-made divinely loving being, making an atheists view seem depressing and meaningless to the religious.
And so the religious tend to connect such horrid events with the underhanded influence of the devil, instead of the reality of things. The man was merely experiencing a chemical imbalance in the brain, causing depression, delusions, fantasies and hallucinations.
Yes it was a very inhuman act, but it had nothing to do with religious ideologies, just madness.

328. You have got to be kidding me Dinesh. Where was your GOD (you know, the all knowing and all controlling one) when he allowed these things to happen in the first place?

And BTW, just which imaginary friend belief system of the tens of thousands out there do YOU believe in?

Just more of the same mega moronic "logic" I hear from most "religious" people. Live you own life with your own primative belief systems, and I'll defend you from all the other idiots that want to kill you for not believing their unprovable fairy tales.

Secularism and peer reviewed science are our only hope. If many religious idiots had their way, we'd still be back in the middle ages.

I agree with the other poster, except I'd change "clever sixth grader" to second grader.

gerryt at 11:35AM on Jul 19th 2007

330. You're kidding me. So, because no atheists made groups to pray about the Virginia Tech shooting, they don't care about it? Come ON. Everyone felt bad about this. There are a ton more Christians than atheists, so obviously it's easier for them to make groups to mourn- or pray, I should say, as atheists don't do that, either. I'm not an atheist, but you are being a prejudice idiot. People like you are the reason that most atheists are afraid to open up and be proud of who they are. So you need to shut the hell up and for once realize that there can be other religions -or un-religions- then Christianity. Get used to it.
