My New Website

[J_Lazarus]

My new website set up: www.strongatheism.com (http://www.strongatheism.com/)


Check it out - hope its all to your liking.


We've got quite a few authors on staff so far, putting together their strategies of what "departments" of writing they'd like to take over. A friend of mine, Franc, has been submitting a title wave of material.

I, myself, have provided a number of articles, including the Argument From Non-Cognitivism, here: www.strongatheism.com/articles/noncognivitism (http://www.strongatheism.com/articles/noncognivitism)

And a refutation of the Transcendental Argument For The Existence of God, here: www.strongatheism.com/articles/TAGrefutation (http://www.strongatheism.com/articles/TAGrefutation)

Before reading the latter, I urge you to check out the thread I'm going to put up on here regarding the Presuppositionalist challenge.

Hope you all enjoy.

Thanx much,

- JL

yeah its good. i describe myself as a strong atheist. its good to have a website dedicated to it.

its nice also to have a place for intellectual discussion about atheism and theism.

well you know i think it's good for people not to try and
force themselves to believe what is different from their own
experience because when people start doing that, the next
thing you know we find ourselves trying to force everything
we see and experience into the mold of what we've told
ourselves to pre-expect about it, and when we do that we end
up really missing a lot of what is right in front of us and
not connecting dots when we need to.

the thing is we each HAVE different kinds of experiences
and i've experienced too many things that are outside and
beyond what begins and ends with the totaly tangable,
so it would be just as false for me to try and force myself
to believe that there is nothing else that could possibly be.

for one thing there were those dreams, or memories or what
ever you might want to call them or be, of experiencing
life under adult like conditions before i was even born,
let alone could walk or talk, that there's just no way could
possibly have come from any sort of experiencing i'd yet
had in THIS life.

now there's also nothing in that which directly resembles
any sort of popular belief either, only in the more general
sense of feelings that there is this sense of being loved
kind of calmly, unobtrusively, even detatchedly.

well there's a lot of other things
and then of course there's the conundrum of entropy itself

so for all of this what is most 'right' for ME is to not
try an impose a perception that every sort of organized
belief does on what is out there but rather to accept for
the mystery that it is and let it be at that, as whatever,
however it should choose to actualy be.

and if, as some seem to insist there is actualy nothing,
well then so be it. but this just isn't my own experience.


i really don't see how a thing has to be what anyone expects
of it in order to exist. that is the thing really.
my perception anyway.

and of course there are many more things that i have experienced
that it would be pointless to detail here.
i don't mean that by way of argument, only that we each
ourselves experience what we do.
