So, why are the Materialists or Atheists saying they alone are valid, true, correct and, by implication and their crusade, have the sole right to exist or occupy the thought and knowledge space in human minds ?
As you might expect, I don't feel like I'm on a crusade. While a Christian might feel obligated to 'spread the word' I feel no such obligation to convince others that there is no God. I have noticed, however, that not all atheists/agnostics are as laid back as I am. I really don't understand their motivations. I assume in many cases it's folks looking for 15 minutes of fame or just enjoying causing a stir. Basically turning themselves into Celebrity Assholes. I see too much good from churches to want to ruin religion for anyone. Didn't the commies try to stamp out religion? Maybe it's a commie pinko thing. Orn, can you explain it? dj heh On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 5:48 AM, Vamadevananda<[email protected]> wrote: > > One dimension of the perennial debate between Theists and Atheists, > Spiritualists and Materialists, has been of the kind : > > There is spirit.
