Atheists definitely deny the existence of junk, man. Agnostics don't really believe anything relevant to life....but they still believe something. I don't really read anything Jester says anymore. I'm pretty sure he just says stuff to be an egotistical ass. I still don't see how the two terms can be combined....though I did read your wiki thingy....but whatever.
Atheists belive in something, that something being the their belief in a lack of god....... Agnostics dont cament themself to a particular belief Ahhh fuck this
I believe Atheism is alot like denial of the holocaust and you have to be a devout historian to even understand non-pagan religion.
The Isrealites were not slaves, but disgruntled civilians who did public works and were formerly used to military status, as they traveled from Canaan to Egypt and were accepted by the predecessor to Seti I. Seti then overhauled the system and started forcing them to do public works. After the ten plagues, Seti I is convinced to let them go, so he does. It's until Moses raids and ransacks when Seti sends an army of about 300 after him... Contrary to the belief that Moses parted the red sea, he rather parted the reed sea, or the sea of reeds, which was actually a tidal swamp in that portion of the Western fertile crescent, twenty miles south of the Mediterranean. Unexplainable wind and a shift in tides drained the swamp, and in... I believe Deuteronomy states that the Egyptian chariot wheels locked, but they were basically stuck in the mud. Back in that time, the practice of commanding infantry with pillars of smoke and fire was common, which is where they say God is leading them. Fire would be placed at the front and smoke, at the back. Seti and his men follow Moses and the Isrealites into the desert, rather then Moses crossing the landbridge. Moses then switches the pillars of fire and smoke so that fire is at the back, signaling a return to Egypt and causing the Egyptians to believe that Moses is stupidly lost in the Nubian Desert and is headed right for them/Egypt. This causes the diversion for them to cross the Sea of Reeds. After the encampment at Mt. Sanai, Moses states the ten commandments and dies, after building up the Israelite forces for fourty years. Joshua, number two in chain of command, leads the Israelites across the dead sea and into Gilgal, North of Jericho. Two scouts/spies establish a connection with a prostitute in Jericho, where she informs them of the status of the Israelite forces and tells them that the people of Jericho are terrified of the stories they hear, etc. They then tell her to hang a Crimson rope so she won't be killed or her house attacked. People rather believe that the rope was used for special forces to scale the walls of Jericho, as the action would be happening too fast for anyone to notice a crimson rope hanging on the outside of the walls of Jericho, which leads them to attack the defense from the inside and take the city much quickly. Since they did not want prisoners or people to surrender, the only way to avoid being hacked to death by a bronze sword was to get out of the city... etc.
I've begun to believe that all who claim they are atheist must be really sad people. Basically an atheist believes that everything is coincidental and that there is no point to life whatsoever. To deny that something or someone at least planted the seeds of life is probably due to one of the following: 1) The atheist hasn't thought about the subject or refuses to, or 2) The atheist believes so because s/he doesn't want to conform to the Christian society we live in (in America and Europe) I don't know whom or what I believe in, but I won't be ignorant for the sake of being ignorant and believe that the miracles all around us were/are accidents.
That's exactly what I meant by saying that, (supporting the theory of evolution along with creationism, as I believe it was a plan that had a few collisions along the way and decided to just lay back a little) to establish a breaking point between animals and humans, you're kind of required to have some belief in both spiritual intelligence and coincidence... plus imagination. Oddly, humans tend to forget that we're still Animalia and even though we have the strange desire to turn ourselves into machines, metaphorically or literally, someone or something is always going to be there to not allow it. Sometimes you've just gotta let life be life, man. Screw it, you're here, they're there, and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. Dig in. Sometimes people just need to think out of the box, rather than molding everything else together, too.
