"In this recent Whizin Center for Continuine Education program, leading advocates for atheism, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris square off against Newsweek top rabbis, David Wolpe and Bradley Artson Shavit to determine what may or may not happen in the hereafter. "
It's especially interesting to hear a "religious" point of view concerning near-death experiences and other things. Certain parts of this vid show what I've been trying to say on my blog in the past. There IS common ground, since we are all just humans....and this is something that could happen in our lifetimes if the majority of ppl stopped taking everything so literally. Religion is not a bad thing...it helps many ppl deal with their lives...and much of the widespread criticism is based on ideas that are thousands of years old....but false scientific statements made 2000 years ago are NOT constantly brought up in debate vs atheism. Unfair IMO. SO w/ respect to the whole Science vs Religion thing.... they are both constantly evolving. One explains what can be proven, the other tries to explain what cannot. Who cares who's right....as long as it helps you. But literal translation(while harmless in most cases) is quickly dividing and bringing this world to a point of no return.
Sigh. Atheism is stupid to begin with.
ReplyDeleteYou cannot call yourself by a title that means you don't believe in the existence of God. In the very act of saying so, you have named God as something that does exist, is identifiable by name and concept.
Duh.
Call yourself an agnostic and call it a day. Better to admit you don't know WHAT is real and choose to believe in none of it than to pin the tail on a donkey and then call it a kangaroo.
I am agnostic, if you were to see some other posts :)
