atheism [phanatic]

They have grand rounds, right? They, you know, dozens of medical staff come into an auditorium, and somebody stands at the podium at the front and gives a lecture about some academic issue, you know, what drugs to prescribe for what condition. But instead of that, he - Hasan apparently gave a long lecture on the Koran and talked about how if you don't believe, you are condemned to hell. Your head is cut off. You're set on fire. Burning oil is burned down your throat.

And I said to the psychiatrist, but this cold be a very interesting informational session, right? Where he's educating everybody about the Koran. He said but what disturbed everybody was that Hasan seemed to believe these things. And actually, a Muslim in the audience, a psychiatrist, raised his hand and said, excuse me. But I'm a Muslim and I do not believe these things in the Koran, and then I don't believe what you say the Koran says. And then Hasan didn't say, well, I'm just giving you one point of view. He basically just stared the guy down.

atheism [fatpie42]

Lord Sacks blamed Europe's falling birth rate on a culture of "consumerism and instant gratification". He said the continent was "dying" and accused its citizens of not being prepared for parenthood's "sacrifices".

The 61-year-old, who took his seat in the Lords last week, said: "Wherever you turn today - Jewish, Christian or Muslim - the more religious the community, the larger on average are their families.

"The major assault on religion today comes from the neo-Darwinians."( Read more... )

When I was in my speech class some weeks ago I was talking to a girl sitting next to me about our speech topics. Her list consisted of The Proper Way To Apply Eyeshadow and Why Gay Marriage Is Against God. I made a crack about her topics coming from Cosmo and she said, "Well what's on your list?"

My list had The "Real Man" Complex and Why Transgenderism Should Be Removed From The DSM5 and Why Existentialism Works.

She said, "Ewwwww, existentialism? People are going to think you're an existentialist!"

I said, "I am an existentialist."

She said, "But existentialists are atheists. People will think you're an atheist!" (She seemed honestly concerned about this).

I replied, "I am an atheist."

She looked at me funny and turned away mumbling something about getting back to her work. It was hilarious.

I wanted to share this for two reasons, so I could rant (and so rant over), and so I could ask a question. This conversation got me thinking about atheism and how it can relate to existentialism. Just because your an atheist that doesn't make you an existentialist, and vice versa.

So how many atheists here are also existentialists? Why or why not?
