For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Atheism, compared to religion seems so boring, so empty & negative. So you think you, 'got rid of religion', & now where are you?
answer, In a jejune, outmoded environment, which is rapidly looking outdated, with your gurus; R.Dawkins, Sam Harris etc. a bit 'last year', a bit boring, tired, outdated & (dare I say?) 'uncool'.
While the religions are just as awesome & dynamic as they have always been & always will be, that is to say; limitless. And the Ayaan Hirsi Alis, the Douglas Murrays, Jordan Petersons, Tom Hollands Peter Hitchens etc. (it's along list) look more and more like today.
I never was a crowd follower, khandro. ;o)
Tell me, khandro, what's 'awesome' and 'dynamic' about teaching little children they're sinners? Or banging women up in burkas? Or in dire threats of appalling retribution not for crimes but for the sin of being human? Seriously, what is awesome or dynamic about any of that?
I have read and heard many adjectives applied to religion, but never those, probably with good reason.
Khandro wrongly assumes (no surprise there!) that atheists gave 'gurus' because, as a fervent, he can't imagine life without someone to be excited about.
Rather like being a One Direction fan without the fun and enjoyment.
But no, most atheists don't ponder endlessly like fervents do, because atheism is the absence โโโof belief, so they don't waste time thinking about it.
And they certainly don't waste more time with the perpetual 'I've got something you need, which gives me an insufferable need to share my superiority complex with you on a daily basis' which makes fervents so mind crushingly miserable and tedious.
Atheist do you not know anything at all beyond your bigoted atheism? Christianity has been intricately intertwined with the history and formation of Western society. Throughout its long history, the Church has been a major source of social services like schooling and medical care; an inspiration for art, architecture, culture and philosophy, and an influential player in politics and religion. It has made the West what it is, and we a re in grave danger of losing it.
The Barbarians at at our gates (and many are already inside!)
Khandro; I don't think I am intolerant; I'm not in a position to be. I do dislike bullies, liars, people who unnecessarily harm or exploit other animals, greedy people......
But I tend to regret their attitudes and try to avoid them rather than attack or insult them.
You'll probably be able to find some of my tetchier posts if you try, but there's no need to bother - I'll apologise here and now if I have occasionally 'lost it'.
