I don't have reliable Internet, I will try to get some earlier Pod-casts? Don't want to waist Your time, but if you know of a good one that can show me where Stephan is with Atheism I would be grateful, I am not Lazy, I am without many resources, being Time and Internet....Thank you so much for your interpretation of Atheism.
I am not an Atheist, but I am not Religious Either, I don't go to Church or Worship an Esoteric God. I Worship Nature, being the Trees the Birds the Living Life I see in forest (as well as the City), the nonliving Life like Water and Air and Earth. I define Worship as (LOVE and RESPECT) so I Love and Respect the Physical Living Life I See around me. I experience all other creatures on this planet as my Brothers and Sisters, who need our protection from this infection we call the Self.
I have Friends and Family who Are Complete Atheists and I have Friends and Family who are Completely Religious. I Love Both of them and Respect their Views, BUT there are some I knew in the PAST who were FUNDAMENTAL Religious Followers (Oxymoron) as well as FUNDAMENTALIST Atheists.
It appears you are Not a FUNDAMENTALIST Atheists, we are off to a Very good start
"Atheism is not something you follow, but that you recognize the fact that god does not exist (at least as commonly defined). The attempt is to use logic, reason and evidence to determine the possibility of god existing, and when you realize the number of contradictions present in the concept of "god" then you realize that it is impossible for something that contradicts itself to exist."
I can relate to much of what you said except the evidence part. But that is OK, over time Everything I understand will be redefined and understood another way as New Evidence enlightens me further. In the Scope of the Bigger Picture I am Just as RIGHT Today as I was when I was 2 Years Old, just I can read better. I am Not Blinded by the Fact in Faith (Religion) and I am Not Blinded By My Faith In Fact (Science).
Do I fit in here? I do Not want to step on anyones toes and threaten their understanding, Belief. Am I allowed to discuss Atheism here with people here if I am Open Minded?
I am Not Agnostic as well, just a heads up...so what am I?
