I know what an Atheist is, belief in no God and Agnostic not knowing one way or another of a God.
So if you took a circle, and that circle represented all knowledge in the universe past, present, and future ... and i asked you to draw how much of that knowledge you posses, you logically would have to draw a small dot. Then, in all fair mindedness, is it not possible that in all that empty space a God can exist?
All logical thinking reasons yes...hence agnostic, not knowing if there is a God or not. Then you would then by definition not be an atheist, and not everyone would be an agnostic then by the test, because by science that baffles the greatest minds and what many call "fingerprints of intelligence" they are convinced of exactly that. Not a specific God or religion, just of an intelligence.
Its simple really.
You misunderstand my whole point anyway. You take it too offensively it seems.
My point is, there is no reason for reason or moral standards if there is no purpose overall to life.
Who is the community to tell someone what is right and wrong when today's society prides itself on free thinking and the there is no wrong way to live?
So if there is no higher level of ethical law to guide our actions, and if we are the community, who are we to decide what the next person in the same community should have to live by according to morals and ethics. Now you see the delimma?
Why do you bring the bible into this? Just curious, since there are so many other beliefs and books to choose from.
I was making the whole point that you should not worry about their actions since you have no control over them and you have no standard to live by. Society is what you make it right? Society is different everywhere you go too. So which one is right and which one is moral? Which one defines how humans should universally live? By an Atheist belief, none are right and wrong. Sooo, don't be disgusted at those other Atheists and don't think they should be better than that because for Atheists worldwide, there is no universal or corporate standard.
Do your own thing. Who are you to them to be mad at their profiting and to what standard would they care about how you look at them?
Oh, no one said anything about paying in the afterlife. Don't forget, many believe in reaping rewards as well.
It was just my advice as to why you should not care and to live and let be. Then I said why I believe by your beliefs why you should not bother with them. That was all.

Edit: And how is religion brainwashing? Religion is man made anyway, but its essence is not. So if someone believes in something that helps them and their life is better because of the body of faith they are apart of...isn't that good? Brainwashing is wiping away a thinking mind for a strict conformity, which usually ends up in a cult. I think your distaste for religion gives a twisted perspective to the world wide reality of "religion."
