Wicca is the main religion I follow and if you have time, I'd gladly explain our concepts of the universe. Most atheists that I talk to agree that they make alot of sense. Anyone who ha really tought about their religion and dared to see beyond that have my respect, the decition you take is good, and any opinion of a person capable of doing that is worth to listen. I am totally nihilist in all esoteric stuff, so i take western religion as a more profound thinking, but i cannot consider it as true. I remember a flash animation about GOD, with wise words for that suppoused "god", i liked it very much, because of the wisdom, but the deity was just ignored. so if you want to share your knowledge, conclusions and beliefs im totally open to it  | ||

Most atheists that I talk to agree that they make alot of sense. that was kind of what i was getting at. a lot of religions (maybe all?) contain more than some arbitrary silly dogma and specific taboos etc. within all that, usually via symbolism and rhetoric, are truly decent arguments and teachings for living a good life and operating your mind. unfortunately most people focus more on the arbitrary and fantastical dogmas (i.e. "buddhists believe in reincarnation, christians hate abortion and fags, believe in one deity and the deity put his son which was almost him and died and rose from the dead and performed magic tricks and u should pray to them to go to heavnen") and less on the most valuable parts of religious traditions | ||

Athiests say science is #1 and according to science, supernatural cannot exist( also bullshit ). Both theorys have holes the size of that girl who shot a football out of her Vag. my theory is, WE ARE ALL WRONG! and, to the people that think there is a old white guy with a setup of scarface esque security camera in the clouds watching over our expiditions through existence! .  Well you are also like here [---||-----------------------] in my scale hehehe you are just not willing to give up your human need to belive in things beyond you. | ||

maybe im wrong tho and theres a way to know for sure everything beyond everything and be certain theres nothing more. but i think ppl just have to learn to live with the potential that theres more we arent able to ever know because it's beyond the limits we exist within. we can always imagine an outside, another dimension, soemthing beyond the way our universe works, beyond even every compontent and rule we know, something more basic that we just havent found yet, etc. | ||
