The simulation of an electron is only a simulation of an electron to a mind (which also ultimately does not exist because it can be decomposed into separate particles). It is not an electron, it is actually so wholly different that no comparison can be made. Similarly a simulation of a human is wholly different from a human in actual material reality.

Buddhism is atheist from an Abrahamic perspective and also argues extensively against materialist and atomistic schools of thought. But in the minds of /lit/ christlarpers, who are seething at the beliefs of higher status secular people, atheism is a materialistic worship of science meant to spite their god, instead of just, you know, ignoring the dogmatic claims made by the theist because there's nothing to debate if your evidence is revelation

Atheism and Christianity are different versions of the same ideology: there was nothing then Something (god/the big bang theory) created the universe Sometime (13.8 billion years ago/6000 years ago) and so we should believe in a form of neo-Judaism based on the teachings of (Jesus Christ/Karl Marx/someone else). most Christians are not fundamentalists, so they are pretty much the exactly the same .

Did you know that most shit shovellers throughout the course of human history have been religious? Statistically speaking if your job is shovelling shit then you probably believe in God. Now I'm not going to say that theism makes people adept at shovelling shit but I think it's interesting that if you counted up all the people who ever shovelled shit for a living who existed throughout the course of human history, very few of them are atheists.

Most people in general who have ever done anything on Earth have been theists you clown. You could write this seethe pasta for scientists, authors, philosophers, knitters, carpenters, teachers, and literally everything else people can do and say that very few of them throughout the course of human history have been atheists.

Where you'd expect atheists to have shone (if you take their self-appointed descriptions of being logical, rational, scientific and intelligent seriously, which you should not) would be in the realm of intellectual endeavours and they have not, ever.

I don't need evidence against a baseless dogmatic claim about the nature of the universe or who or what created it. This is absolutely your burden of proof.

Yes we know you are larping as a fundamentalist for culture war purposes because no one likes last decade's emaciated nerdy vloggers. Doesn't make you more correct

Blabbity blah you're boring me now after you admitted you literally refuse to even explain this non materialist Buddhist atheism you apparently learned about in the nuanced historical debates of India or something, faggot

Well, whenever you want to get back onto the actual thread topic you can start listing genius atheists as you like. I think the 2 or 3 possible candidates have already been suggested though so... good luck!

I've already opined on the topic. All things considered a society of theists would have its geniuses mostly be theist. This is just a soft wewuzism or cargo culting on your part because atheism is spreading.

The spread of Atheism is pretty disastrous for society but luckily it won't last much longer.

Anyway dear anon I think I'm going to get high and watch It's a Wonderful Life, a beautiful movie that an atheist such as yourself would be totally unable to appreciate. I hope you grow. There's no shame in being an ex-atheist. I used to be an atheist myself!

According to the most recent philpapers survey, over two thirds of philosophers aren't theists. Cope, seethe, etc.

You mean philosophers like Sam Harris? Or what philosophers do you mean and what were their contributions to philosophy?

This is absolutely false, but even if it weren't that would only emphasize how useless atheism is. Christianity built the West; communism has built little but failing prison states. All you're doing is emphasizing the importance of deism.

If you're an atheist, you're missing out. If you're a christian and you haven't seen yet religion (and every other ideology) are tools of control you're the one being controlled.

True spiritual patricians pursue to be one of Our Lord's chosen, and everyone else exists to serve us. You, as a favourite, needs to take good care of your sheep as Jesus did. There, problem solved, moral conundrums dissipated, reason achieved, nothing changed, everyone dies at the end. But at least you left the world a better place than when you came to it, even while wrangling a horde of retards.

Nietzsche, because his atheism was grounded in his moving beyond universal principles. He's the first and last atheist you need to read because his atheism is total; he doesn't even bother trying to "refute" theism because truth is the domain of theism and he understood that. Instead, he concerned himself with power, the domain of atheism, and from there he came to understand the most atheistic concept ever devised: the overman.

A very cursed relic of the mid 00s. Interesting how this nobody has a Wikipedia page though. I guess in 2007 the entire Internet was still mostly white western men with aspergus syndrome
