Think about what you just said. Because if that's true, it would make being atheist a hell of a lot more difficult, wouldn't it.
i'm not saying any of that is true, just describing the belief system and what is actually presented in the bible and old jewish texts. Still pretty easy to be atheist, all you have to do is not believe in any kind of deity.
Yeah but it’s a little bit like putting your hands in front of your eyes and saying “nanana I can’t SEE you”.
Also, any idea or concept you pick up and elevate over everything else would by definition become your God, even if only temporarily. The only way to ensure you are actually atheist would be to turn completely chaotic and change your mind every five seconds.
God is dead. God remains dead. And ADHD has killed him.
God is the idea that a magic force is responsible for everything, atheism is rejection of this fantasy and the assumption that life is simply the result of natural processes existing without will.
a belief system isn't something that one just picks up and puts down every 5 minutes, as you described. you're basically just saying that if i don't believe in a deity, then whatever my focus is at the present time is my belief, which is incorrect. A belief system, or a religion, exists in order to explain what we cannot comprehend. How the earth was formed, how we came to be, etc. My current focus of analyzing data with power BI doesn't answer those questions, nor would I want it to, since it's power BI.
however, we are advancing our understanding of how the universe around us works, we are learning, researching and asking questions which would have been considered heresy a few hundred years ago. Science tries to answer questions, but science is not a religion, because religion relies on belief. science relies on reproducible data.
