Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Atheists old and new
As a livestock person reading Armstrong here, then atheists are religious
parasites cycling again. Damned worms eating at the guts of the animal.A good
dose of authentic spiritual experience would be the de-wormer of choice of an
invasion of endemic infectious atheism. Belief is religion but faith comes in
experience. Simple quiet spiritual experience will put a fast end to parasitic
atheism. I have seen it happen many times. “,,Now please come and take this
flower..sit here..”

I like this Armstrong quote, seems atheists are just new religionists coming
along in sheep skins aching to explain their experience to larger flocks.
..and, we find now in their writings that these modern day atheists after their
thrashing of fundamentalism are meditationists.

John, you may find this interesting.
"Historically, atheism has rarely been a blanket denial of the sacred per se
but has nearly always rejected a particular conception of the divine. At an
early stage of their history, Christians and Muslims were both called
"atheists" by their pagan contemporaries, not because they denied the reality
of God but because their conception of divinity was so different that it seemed
blasphemous. Atheism is therefore parasitically dependent on the form of
theism it seeks to eliminate and becomes it's reverse mirror image. Classical
Western atheism was developed during the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries by Feurbach, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud, whose ideology was
essentially a response to and dictated by the theological perception of God
that had developed in Europe and the United States during the modern period.
The more recent atheism of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam
Harris is rather different, because it has focused exclusively on the God
developed by the fundamentalisms, and all three insist that fundamentalism
constitutes the essence and core of all religions." ~The Case For God by Karen
Armstrong

Emily,
Yes, they do. Atheists are fairly similar to Satanists who were able to
eliminate the use of prayers in Arizona. For them, the image of satan is a
metaphorical symbol against any established religions. But, for most of them,
satan does not exist like the gods in myths and legends. IMO, what exists for
them is their own individual selves.

Do they?

Ebill,
The atheist's belief that their are no gods, transcendence or Samadhi is
similarly an non-religious ideology. But, by the atheist's definition, there
is no support of Nature nor transcendence which cannot be proved on a
scientific basis. So, why do atheists want others to believe what they believe?

To argue that "spiritual experience" is conformable only to the definitions
of the TMO is to admit that TM is only a belief system. No experience of
Transcendence/Samadhi is actually necessary when the belief system reigns
supreme.
People who inhabit the "Domes of Doctrine" have separated their meditative
experience and their "innocent, native transcendence" and are inhabiting the
hierarchy of TMO indoctrination just to keep their badge.
This is the very definition of a religious ideology. #yiv6348591542
