PROOF OF ATHEISM

As long as you are making a claim, you need to bear the burden of proof. a couple examples, T=theist, A=Atheist. 1. T: there is a god. A: there isn't a god. (in this case, both side need to bear the burden of proof, because both sides were making assertive claims) 2. T: there

is a god.

WHY DOES GOD ALLOW SUFFERING? Omniscience. Their god knows all. Omnipotence. Their god is infinitely powerful. Omnibenevolence. Their god is not just invested in the affairs of humans but is the embodiment of love (at least as much as a non-corporeal entity can embody anything). It is the combination of these three commonly claimed attributes that raises the problem of

ENDING ANTI-ATHEIST BIGOTRY: WHAT YOU CAN DO In order to end anti-atheist bigotry, we need to do the following: Label it bigotry.

By identifying it as such, we are helping the individual learn

something.

ATHEISTS BURSTING BUBBLES If you had asked me midway through college what my favorite subject was, I would have picked philosophy with little hesitation. I remember being annoyed with those who would ask what I would do with a degree in philosophy. But even then, I knew that much of my annoyance was due to my recognition that they were right. They were bursting my bubble, but I think that was a good thing. I did not end up majoring in philosophy, and while there were other reasons, the lack of clear career prospects in comparison to other fields in which I was interested was the big one. I think this is an example where I probably benefitted from some bubble bursting.

SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS I'd like to do something a bit different in this post and ask you a question. The thing is, I want to ask you to consider the question in a particular way. The question, which I am sure you already guessed from the title is as follows: > What do you think when you hear someone say, "I'm not religious but > spiritual" or otherwise claim to be spiritual but not religious? I'd like you to consider the question _not_ by asking yourself what you might say to such a person in response or what you might think if you were in a particularly good mood and feeling charitable. Instead, I'm interested in your immediate in-the-moment reaction upon hearing something like this. That is, what is likely to be the first thought that enters your mind when you hear this?

THE TYRANNY OF THE MINORITY We're all familiar with the "tyranny of the majority" because this gets to the heart of what tyranny is all about. It refers to the scenario where those in power, due to their majority position, impose their will on everyone else. But if you have had any involvement in

secular activism

,

regardless of whether you are an atheist, you have undoubtedly heard about the "tyranny of the minority" in that context. In the U.S., it is one of the most common complaints heard from Christians who are prohibited from imposing their religious beliefs on others. Instead of just dismissing it as one more example of the common persecution claims we hear from (mostly) conservative Christians, I thought we might take a closer look at it and see if it has any merit at all. The best way to start is probably with one of the more common examples where we can expect to hear it. Consider the following: > A public school in a small town has had a Christmas play every year > for the last 15 years. Although it is not the sort of thing one > would expect to see at church, the play contains multiple references

> to Jesus

>

> and none to any other fictional deities. And yet, nobody has ever > complained. That finally changes when a Hindu parent writes a letter > to the principal explaining that her daughter is bullied by several > of her Christian classmates each December and that much of it > centers around this play. The letter goes on to describe how the > play promotes Christianity while neglecting all other faiths, > addresses how this is negatively impacting her daughter, and raises > questions about the legality of this practice. The principal cancels

TRYING A NEW POSTING SCHEDULE AT ATHEIST REVOLUTION I have been making an effort to reduce my rate of posting here lately, and I expect this will continue. I have been feeling overworked and short on time due to some changes at my job, and this has led me to re-evaluate how best to fit hobby blogging into my life. Since I am not ready to give it up

,

I have been experimenting with scaling back the number of posts. My new target is roughly 10 posts per month, but I am approaching that number flexibly. I'm not going to freak out if I write somewhat fewer than 10 or somewhat more than 10 posts. I may freak out if I end up writing 2-3 times more than that because that would indicate that my efforts to scale things back had failed and that I was back to my

usual numbers.

The other thing I've been trying to do is adopt a more consistent and predictable posting schedule. Of all the advice I have read from the professional bloggers who share blogging tips, this is one that almost everyone seems to agree on and one that I have never really tried

.

They insist that it is helpful to set a schedule and stick to it. I'm not sure I understand why this is supposed to be helpful, but it seemed like it was worth a try. At least for now, I'm aiming to post on Wednesdays and Sundays. Doing so would bring me to 8 posts a month, and that means I can post a couple outside of that schedule when I feel like doing so (like I am doing with this post) to hit the new

target of 10.

SATANISM AS AN ANTIDOTE TO BEIGE ATHEISM There's nothing wrong with the color beige (or tan, kaki, and whatever other names you prefer). It is about as inoffensive as one could want, and it goes with many other colors. Having a wall in your home painted in beige renders the wall almost as invisible as white, freeing you up to decorate as you want. Although I am not sure I've ever met anyone who claimed that their favorite color was beige, plenty of people seem to like it enough when it comes to their interior paint, car upholstery, and all sorts of other things. Thus, while beige may not inspire much passion, it works well for many. There is nothing wrong with beige, and there is nothing wrong with people who like beige.

BEIGE ATHEISM

Atheism, at least if we are talking about the dictionary sort of atheism (i.e., atheism

means

nothing more than a lack of belief in gods), is rather beige. I suppose we can't call it inoffensive since there are still plenty of religious believers who seem to have real difficulty merely acknowledging the existence of atheists, but I don't want to dwell on them here. But many of them also seem to have real difficulty comprehending the continued existence of monkeys, so I think we can set them aside as they muddle about their "magic" world and get back to the atheists. Beige atheism is great for many atheists. It has everything we want and nothing we don't. Much like the color, it goes with almost anything. There's nothing wrong with beige atheism, and there's nothing wrong with people who like beige

atheism.
