The Blinder of Atheism

Atheism is not 'no belief in God;' atheism is 'belief in no God.' It is a belief based on one's principles.

When considering this, keep in mind that most people operate at a 'spiritual level' ranging from 'quiet belief' to 'quiet non-belief.' There is an 'inequality' in comparing those with 'loud belief' to those with 'quiet non-belief.'

The groups that are comparitive are the 'polar' groups, those that comprise the 'most radical' in 'discharging' 'their principles.'

The organization of Atheists is structured as a church would be. It has its heiarchy, its evangelists, its publications, and even seeks donations. It is protected speech under 'freedom of religion,' and rightfully so. In 'equal but opposite' fashion, this organization tries to change public policy, and its objective is to 'become established' as the 'national religion.'

The main argument that people stumble on is that Atheists contend that 'freedom of religion' is the same as 'freedom from religion.' It isn't, and philosophical beliefs about the existence or non-existence of God is a religious belief. That's not my fault; I'm just pointing out that 'belief in God' and 'belief in no God' are both 'beliefs about God.' The beliefs are opposite, but they are also equal.

While those at the polar opposite go out of their way to explain 'everything happens at God's will,' those with 'atheistic blind faith' go out of their way to explain 'everything is explainable without a concept of God or soul.'

We know that electricity is comprised of matter. We know matter has weight. We know that there is some electricity in living animals that is not present in dead animals. We know that electricity cannot be destroyed, nor does it 'just go away.' We know there is a minute amount of weight loss at death.

We have documentation of near death experiences in which 'light' is a common element. Physical scientists explain this phenomenon as 'the bursting of brain cells' as those cells die. We have documentation of out-of-body experiences, many of which center around anesthesia. Physical scientists explain this phenomenon as 'dreaming.' We have documentation of people giving verifiable accounts of events in 'previous lives.' Physical scientists explain this phenomenon as 'lucky guessing.'

What physical scientists don't do is close the mathematical possibility that a soul or God doesn't exist.

I, too, find the likelihood of 'existence of God,' as defined by 'polar believers' 'so highly improbable' as to be 'virtually impossible.' Equally, I find the likelihood of 'existence of no God-like concept' so highly improbable that it, too, would be virtually impossible.

The truth, it seems, lies somewhere between the poles.
