Is atheism dark and brooding?

I think it is- no happy God....
Killing is right, faith is wrong
Life is life
Hope is gone

Or is it just black? cool

Yes it is black cool
He is an anti-theist



If any subset of our non-belief sample fit the "angry, argumentative, dogmatic" stereotype, it is the anti-theists. This group scored the highest amongst our other typologies on empirical psychometric measures of anger, autonomy, agreeableness, narcissism, and dogmatism while scoring lowest on measures of positive relations with others … the assertive anti-theist both proactively and aggressively asserts their views towards others when appropriate, seeking to educate the theists in the passé nature of belief and theology.

I never liked Richard Leakey surprised


At 17 he was an old man, smoking his pipe. I think he missed out on a chunk of his life." In 1964 the 19-year-old Leakey struck pay dirt on his first independent dig, at Lake Natron in Tanzania, where he discovered a 1.4-million-year-old human jawbone. That early success helped persuade him to skip college and devote himself full-time to paleontology. In 1968 he received a $25,000 National Geographic Society grant to conduct research on the eastern shore of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. Just three years later he achieved global prominence when his team unearthed a well-preserved 1.9-million-year-old skull of Homo habilis, an early hominid first discovered by his parents. "There was tremendous jealousy, an I'll-show-you going on there," says one intimate. "It made him brutal in some of his attitudes and his relationships with others."

What is the difference between atheism and pantheism?

That’s a great question- I have discussed one approach to pantheism earlier when I described spinozism - it might be possible to discuss this philosophy in greater detail

“There can be, or conceived no other substance than God. Everything that exists is either God or a mode of God.” Spinoza
--- --that’s interesting, so is Trumpism a mode of God, Hitlerism, racism a mode of God?
God or substance consisting of infinite attributes, each of which expresses eternal and infinite essence – Spinoza
--- so Gog is everything – God is corrupt and God is honest – in other words God is us – whatever human essence is, that is God’s essence, contrary to constant teachings and general beliefs that God is all good – the attributes of God are both good and evil?

It’s a human thought... God is not nature- he has personality and intelligence... wink
