Re: Atheism
Oh...
Dogmatic purile intellectually bankrupt drivel. I beg to quibble.
quote:
We need to know upon what we base ourselves. Atheism is based upon a materialist philosophy, which holds that nothing exists but natural phenomena. There are no supernatural forces or entities, nor can there be any. Nature simply exists.
1) Classical materialism died with the birth of modern physics.
2) The division of the division of the world into 'natural' and 'supernatural' is silly. The second someone finds evidence for something thought to be 'supernatural' it ceases to be supernatural and becomes simply natural. The distinction should center around 'evidence' vs. 'lack of evidence.'

I'm on top of my fan club's reading list too.
