Posted by New Flyer #857 on Fri Feb 15 21:00:50 2013, in response to Atheism, posted by Jeff Rosen on Fri Feb 15 18:56:15 2013. I'm always up for bashing atheism but the atheists who have thought it through don't believe that there was nothing but rather that there is an infinite regress of causes -- no beginning or end to the observable universe, and so no need for anything transcendent.I still find that those who take up that philosophy become anti-intellectualist in their dodging of many major questions. They will say that change in the universe does not call for an explanation and deny that there is any meaning at all to it (before going on to say that human beings "deserve" or are "meant" for freedoms x, y, and z). That's my biggest qualm. If there is no need to seek after the meaning of the universe, then stop acting like there is meaning to your life and stop promoting selfist, individualist philosophies that attempt to cheaply satisfy this craving for meaning. |
