The Message

[Oona]

Hallo,

ich habe gerade einen "schönen" Beitrag in einem anderen (internationaleren) Forum gelesen, und wollte einfach mal eure Meinung dazu hören.

http://www.mailfriends.com/node/686636

Hier ist ein Userbeitrag dazu:


Human brains work with much more than just intellect and logic and when things go beyond our capability to understand then having faith in something larger than natural processes can bring extreme peace, and peace in itself is a huge reward, a great return for faith..
To know "everything" is impossible but being a functioning human and striving further to "know" more... Priceless!

Concerning atheist attacks on Theism

Some might think that atheists would be content with simply not believing in God and leave the theists to themselves. After all, if God doesn't exist then what's the big deal? Why not let the theists believe in God the way a child believes in the tooth fairy? To the atheist, neither exists. So why bother?

Even though many atheists don't care if people believe in God or not, others feel obligated to fight what I have often heard them label as "oppressive religious bigotry." To this end, many of them are active in politics, social groups, the internet, and even use lawsuits to change society into a more atheistic temperament. They often consider Christians as a threat to freedom, common sense, and a good life. Consider this quote I found on an atheist website at atheists.org:

"We are constantly being overrun by people trying to get their ticket to Heaven at our expense, and if we don’t stand up and be counted we will lose the very freedom we hold most dear; freedom of thought..."

This kind of statement is quite common in atheist circles. It is inflammatory, illogical, and paranoid. Many atheists I've spoken to tell me that I cannot think logically, that I am deluded, and that I believe in myths. They tell me that I am bound by foolish antiquated beliefs, and that I need to abandon my religious bigotry and become a 'free thinker' like them. In other words, they don't want me to think the way I do.

Warum hast Du den letzten Absatz gelöscht? Ich wollte mich gerade darüber auskotzen, daß der Angehörige einer missionarisch ausgelegten Religion missionierende Atheisten kritisiert. Heißt es denn nicht "Auge um Auge"?

Im Beitrag auf Englisch sehe ich viele Unterstellungen, verfeinert mit gut gereiften Binsenweisheiten und auf dem schicken Tablett des religiösen Gewäschs serviert. Hübsch formuliert.

Glaube an Übernatürliches kann extreme Ruhe bringen. Ja, selber kritisch denken macht schon unruhig. Nur ist diese Art der Ruhe die einzige, die religiöse Dogmen mit sich bringen.

Und da wir schon beim Zitieren fremder Foren sind, wäre dieser Beitrag ein Hoffnungsschimmer dafür, dass nicht alle dort drüben willenlose Zombies sind:
