Dude, expand your horizons. Don't think that just because your sensory inputs aren't perceiving something, that it doesn't exist. What that guy meant was so many of us accept emotions as if they are real and we can hold on to them. When in fact, there is no visual proof that emotions exist, but surely anytime we have been in a traffic jam, a long lineup, or been punched in the face we know emotions do exist.

The fact that you are claiming to be a "hardcore" atheist means you are justifying your feelings.

Any emotion that requires justifying is a lie.

i was using "hardcore" to reitterate how passionate i was in my atheism. u took my words to litterally (and therefore miss read their intended context)

Originally posted by Jem_hadar i agree w/ entirely. first id ever really heard of the ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE... i guess ive read about its jist, just didnt know that was whut it was referred to as. thats the way i see things. it seems to say that we exist bc we exist (right?)

Sort of... it doesn't explain why we exist, but it uses the fact that we exist as a premise to answer questions about ourselves or the environment.

eg: Why do we live on a planet?
answer: Because if we lived in space, then we would die, and therefore we wouldn't be here to ask ourselves why we lived in space.

another one: Why do we walk on our hind legs, have opposable thumbs, and binocular visions?
answer: Because all three of these things enabled us to evolve as nomadic hunter-gatherers, to live by cracking open the skulls of animals and eating their brains, and to evolve into intelligent lifeforms capable of posing the above question. Without walking upright, we never would have been capable of asking that question.

You can see how this starts relating to anthropology!

It's kind of a backward approach to proving things. We answer the question "why" with the answer, "because it's impossible for us to exist in our present state otherwise." We live in a 3D universe because intelligent life could not develop in a 2D or 4D universe.

"Things are the way they are because if they weren't, then we wouldn't be here to pose such a question."

I actually have a lot of female atheist friends. An overwhelming number of young people are turning to atheism. Sadly (for you guys), most of these girls are taken.

My gf (known on this site as DJ Bananie) used to be really really religious (from a devout catholic family) and now she considers herself agnostic at best. Idunno if it was my doing, but it's definitely good to be able to agree on things. For example, I could never get married in a church, and it's good that she can agree with me on that; it would just be so meaningless to me. I'd rather do it in someplace closer to nature... like a garden or a beach or something (not that I actually have it in mind at this point... just a thought though).

(of course it goes unsaid that some nice ubertrance would be hopefully playing in the background too... to stimulate our ears while we stimulate our brains with where we all stand and how we define ourselves individually as atheists)

fo' shizzle, let's do it up yo! And Ubertrance is a GIVEN!!

+1 to that!!!

My Mom's name is Liz, and you would not believe the kind of things she says for a sober and apparently sane person. She has a completely illogical and sometimes absurd thought process that would leave many of the mentally challenged scratching their heads in disbelief. Please don't get me wrong, I love my Mother dearly, but sometimes you really have to wonder about her... Anyway, whenever she made one of these bone headed remarks, my Dad would call it "Lizzy-logic"... So yeah, apparently more than one woman in this world suffers from this so called "Lizzy-logic".

Im glad to see that someone else whos an atheist besides me, sees it the same way...

...about how *if* you were to actually go thru w/ it in a church, itd just be so meaningless to you, and hence thats why ud never do it. honestly, for me it would be like turning our marriage into a joke, and id never wanna do that.

id totally wanna get married on a beach, but then again, im a total beach bum in the summer (duh! live right by Wasaga)

Its all about the wedding on the beach somewhere hot as hell and performed by the state!
