atheism -the belief in the absence of any love of the gods. Since it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of God (whatever is meant by this), then nothing remains but faith in their absence for the atheist or faith in their existence for the theist.
In principle, an atheist differs from a theist by little more than nothing – a theist believes only in some gods and does not believe in all the others, an atheist does not believe in any gods (but can believe that any and however delusional ideology describes reality in the only correct way)
All for the same reason. for which the grandmother is not a grandfather.
This is not a philosophical question, but a question indicating a low mental level.
Every reasonable person should understand that each word means something specific , the word atheism cannot mean the same thing as the word faith, and if it is not clear, it means that it is not reasonable enough.
Why do we live on Earth? What is the meaning of our lives?
In the history of philosophy, we know a number of unsuccessful attempts to find answers to these questions.
For example, the founders of existentialism argued that the life of each of us on Earth is just a ridiculous accident; moreover, none of us gave anyone our permission, consent — to live. They lamented this and saw only suicide as a worthy solution to this “ridiculous situation”. They were atheists.
And many modern believers in the existence of God do not ask themselves this question at all. They… only dream of earthly well-being and escaping hell after the death of the body… and what do you have to do for this? – it turns out to participate in various “religious” rites, repent of true and imaginary sins, and also “pray”, that is, first of all, beg for “salvation” from hell — from God or from the “gods” and “saints”invented by representatives of these confessions.
And this absurdity has always been actively promoted by the priests of such religious trends. They instilled in their “flock” the idea of God — as an evil Bogeyman who only does what punishes, and therefore it is necessary to be afraid of Him! And we, they say, the priests-we are your intercessors before Him: we “pray” for you and teach you how to “pray”correctly…
Why do I call this form of pseudo-religion absurd? But because, in fact, we, according to the Will of God, should PERFECT OURSELVES (as souls) in accordance with His Teaching-and not cry out to Him about our sinfulness! And not to beg before Him for “earthly” goods — but to strive to become “perfect, even as our Heavenly Father is perfect,” in the words of Jesus Christ!
And another thing: does fear help bring someone closer to someone else? No! – love! And it is not for nothing that Jesus and all the other Divine Teachers teach us not to fear, not to hate — but to LOVE!
THERE is no DESCRIPTION OF GOD IN the entire Bible. And, accordingly, there is not even an indication of where to look for It in order to realize that very consubstantiality with It…
Part 2. The Creator (or God the Father, Primordial Consciousness, Ishvara, Tao, Allah — and so on, no matter in which of the human languages we call Him) is the subtlest Part of the Universe, and it is the MAIN Part of It — INFINITE in size and ALWAYS existing.
I will briefly say that spatial dimensions are like floors of the Universe (also called the Absolute), which differ from each other in the levels of the roughness — subtlety scale. The layer of the most subtle energies is God in the aspect of the Creator. It looks like an endless stretch of pure Light, similar to the light of the gentle and warm morning sun. There are no forms in it. Once in It, all forms immediately dissolve.
At the opposite end of the above — mentioned scale of subtlety — coarseness is hell-the abode of the most disgusting souls: aggressive, evil, consisting of black energies.
*
The task of souls (that is, including each of us) is to advance in their development to the Original Consciousness, to the Creator.
In the end, Souls who have reached Perfection flow into the Creator, enriching Him with Themselves. Having settled forever in the Abode of the Creator, now living in Fusion with Him, becoming His integral components, They continue to work, helping other evolving souls. In the world of incarnate beings, They now manifest Themselves as Representatives of the Creator, also called Holy Spirits (or, collectively, the Holy Spirit).
This is the meaning of the existence of all Creation, as well as the meaning of our existence and the existence of all beings here!
Well, the lot of those who do not go this Way, who, on the contrary, develop rudeness, malice, cruelty — their lot is hell.
What you are hearing now is not an “invention” of the speaker now. No: this is the knowledge that God has at his disposal, what the Divine Teachers — that is, the Messiahs and Holy Spirits-have always taught incarnate people and are teaching them now.
This was taught, among others, by Thoth-Atlantean (aka Hermes-Trismegistus in His next Divine Incarnation), and Pythagoras, and Krishna, and Gautama Buddha, and Jesus Christ, and the Divine Teachers of later epochs and our modern times. (This information is most fully presented in the book “Classics of Spiritual Philosophy and Modernity”).
part 3. I will tell you about the fate of a famous scientist who was a stubborn, stubborn atheist. But he devoted his life to the Good, heroically, self-sacrificingly helping people with the highest knowledge and methods that he possessed. The premise of his atheism was that he, having the terrible brand of a Jew in Russia during the Brezhnev era, also lived here in the cruel era of” militant atheism”, and from religious concepts he was familiar only with the one that, as an intellectually highly developed person, could not satisfy him in any way. He left his body in a feeble old age, suffering from it and realizing with heavy sadness that the “end ” was approaching. And you can imagine how stunned he was later when he realized that there was no “end”!
Summing up his life, he said very sincerely: “After all, I have lived an honest life! I also gave my all to make people better!
He, living in Russia for those decades, suffered a lot of troubles. And of course, he could not accept the “Christianity” that managed to officially curse all Jews and has always treated them with varying degrees of hostility ever since… He endured everything humbly, never getting angry. Only marveling in silence at the savage moral primitivism that surrounds them… And he was right! His abode is now paradise! But here is one of his closest colleagues, also a scientist and a Jew by nationality of the earth body, who did a lot in the last years of his earthly life to bring people to an understanding of the immortality of the soul, published a lot of publications on psychology, spent his life in endless fuss, made the main theme of his efforts to establish his name among other people at any cost, developed superliveness (even in the course of one conversation, he used to “lie”, exposing himself), insisted that” man is an autonomous, closed system”, who did not think of God and did not conform his life to His Being, who developed the “lower self” to the stage of “sticking out” in all directions of bright vices, who ended his earthly life from a brain disease — now, having disembodied, he is seen “distorted”, black and still deprived of rest. The hell he created for himself continues… I say this with great sadness: this man helped so many people on Earth to start looking for true Freedom. But it turns out that he wasn't looking for her at all…
After all, a person remains in an out-of-body state exactly as he trained himself to be during his life in the body and as he was caught by the death of the body…
Why not faith? Scientific atheism does not reject either God or His absence,but treats philosophy and cosmology impartially, regardless of beliefs.Scientific atheism is professed by individual scientists and thinkers, of whom there are hardly ten thousand on the whole Earth.Those who believe in atheism as certain dogmas of Science (about which they have a vague idea), without going into any scientific justification, or based on logic and philosophy, simply believe in the fallacy of other people's beliefs.And those believing atheists-99.99% that do not reason and think,namely Believe.To begin with, the average person shares the belief inGod,Gods, and the so-called everyday-situational faith.Which is fundamentally wrong, stupid, and ignorant.Because of ignorance and misunderstanding of the Mechanism of faith.Faith is a biological mechanism.There is no difference in the faith of different people.Information accepted by a person without evidence as Valuable, and the closest to reality and objective reality, is faith.And it doesn't matter if this belief is in a yellow road schedule, in a paragraph in a textbook,or a belief in spirits. Faith is truly a gift from the Gods to man.Because it is such a steep competitive advantage that you can't help but think about being chosen by God.I'll explain it on my fingers,that is, mathematically.When did a person start storing information outside of their own head,i.e. technology transfer in absentia, not first-hand? That's right, writing, which allowed and still allows you to receive information without personal contact, then printing and libraries increased the effect,and the Internet raised the ability of a person to receive information not from another person, but simply to the zenith of technology.But before all the technological advantages, a person has gained over the ability to receive information-Faith.Let's assume that your chances of success in any unknown task are 50%. I.e. fifty-fifty, it won't work.But this is the idea.In reality, your chance of success may be as high as one millionth.For convenience, we use the 100% percentage scale.And your chance of success is 1%.There are hundreds of counter-factors and counter-factors that go against your success.Your ignorance of the situation, your inability to act in an unfamiliar situation, complete or partial lack of talent for this activity, frost, heat, wet, stuffy, loud, and generally frightening.In turn, your chances of success are increased by genetics,let's say your muscles are iron,your mom and dad were brought up smart,life was tempered,evil people taught you to be ready for anything.We will add 10% for each option.Mom-10% + muscle-10%+life-10% + evil-10%, total -40% success rate.Again, the chances of failure are higher-60%.But this is all conditional, speculative.In reality, who is so lucky that all factors are a plus?Your chances of success in an unfamiliar business are very small. the original thesis about fifty-fifty is fundamentally wrong.Then we would not need to study in schools-institutes,but quite expect to achieve as much as 50% success without spending time and effort .Why study when there is always a chance to get what you want right away without studying for 5-10-15 years?We're all learning.Psychologists and psychozoologists of the 19th and 20th centuries anthropocentricly called animal training the moronic term Learning.Well, they can't learn,they're animals, so it's learning.Although there is no difference at all, that a person, that an animal, seeing how someone is beaten, learns from experience and learns successful actions.Whether to run,or raise on the horns or on the knife.In psychology, there is a term-Reinforcement.That is, when you are convinced of the upness of a certain technology.They saw how someone escaped danger, or got a piece of meat,or a female,or some other buns as a result,Knowledge with reinforcement was fixed in the brain.And now you have a successful technology and experience.What does Faith have to do with it? At the same time.That perhaps this is the only difference between us, humans, and other animals,a super competitive advantage-Faith.This is when you are NOT Seeing,not hearing, not being present, not being in a Situation, you can get EXPERIENCE and Knowledge from another monkey,oh sorry,a person.And by accepting it as a successful action,you dramatically increase your chances of success.Not with 40% speculatively idealistic, but say with 1%, with 10-20%, abruptly and abruptly immediately +50% success rate.Faith is a biological mechanism.What does it have to do with faith in God or lack of it? Yes, all the same, in Biology, in our structure,in our psyche and the design of the brain.
And in the same competitiveness.We are not just pack animals,we are competing animals, and within the pack too.We strive to occupy the highest position in the pack hierarchy.The failure of technology at least upsets us,the monkey can not help but envy, this is an instinct that requires an increase in its status.And this is not all speculative letters,everything has been confirmed thousands of times by experiments and on humans in the first place.We show off,are proud of, successful technologies, and envy the owners of successful technologies.And any Knowledge for us is a competitive baggage of technologies.And the monkey is even virtually in his brain ,imaginatively trying to rise up is such a brain activity,it sweetens the pill -You are the coolest, you are honest, you are smart,you do everything Right,and everything you know is very cool.Monkeys get together in flocks, in social groups, and criticize other social groups,and are unnecessarily proud of their social virtues, the whole social group-I'm not the only one-there are so many more smart and correct, so I'm correct.And the simplest self-satisfaction of the instinct is to blame someone for something, thereby saying-I am good, and THEY are bad.This way, you can assert yourself at someone else's expense.Hence the alleged ideological confrontation between atheists and non-atheists.In principle, both of them amuse the demon,that is, they assert themselves at someone else's expense.Imagining that they have the Right Knowledge, feeding their Ego and pride.
No monkey can verify 95% of the information it has.And no matter what they say about the verifiability of experiments,no monkey can personally check all the tested experiments.And so 95% of her knowledge is Faith in them.And as mentioned above, no faith makes any difference if it is not justified ,not meaningful by the bearer of faith, but accepted without proof.There is no difference whether you are an atheist or an adept of the Tumbu-yumba faith.As long as you don't understand the Basics of this or that concept or Idea,you can't be an adherent of this concept or idea, you are just a religious fanatic.And as I said,most atheists have no idea what Scientific atheism is all about.Having heard enough from teachers or senior comrades about the failure of faith in God,that only fools do this,adherents of atheism thoughtlessly follow what they think is a successful technology.However, I can say the same about believers in Spirits.Most believers don't give a damn about their own religion and its philosophy.Well..that's why they are believers, whether they are atheists, Baptists, or tumbu-Yubists. And all of them are measured by members,although both are ignorant by nature, with rare exceptions.Instinct, however.
Please!Just do not need religious disputes and drool-de my atheistic faith is correct, I am not a monkey, not an ignoramus, Faith is not an instinct for you, but a Saint, etc….Hopeless.I do not reject your worldview at all,I am absolutely sure that your Faith is the most Correct, and you are very educated……Who understands-he understands, and hello to Them.)
Atheism denies faith, opposes it, and does not imply it. And his denial builds not on speculation, not on the unknown. On the refusal of their conjecturesunknown to recognize. Atheism is based on logic. What is impossible to prove, what is absurd, does not require recognition. In it
ecognition there is an agreement to consider yourself flawed. An atheist has the right to be such / flawed, to recognize the role of a puppet. Just doesn't recognize it. He can't get them, colloquially, in. Nowhere, he has no faith, not even its “organ”.
Atheism cannot prove its claims due to the unsolvability of the main question of philosophy (about the primacy of spirit or matter), so clearly atheism is faith (a system of statements that cannot be proved. And refute it too). But we must understand that atheism is not a religion.
I'm sorry! I posted the answer in the wrong place: not as an answer to the question, but as a comment on the last answer. So – again!
Let's separate the flies from the cutlets. Cutlets, in this case, are a person's faith, and flies are a particular church that parasitizes on a person's natural need for faith. A person can believe in anything or anyone: in God, in the devil, in flying saucers, in communism, in the immortal soul, in the weather forecast. In the commentary, faith is interpreted one-sidedly – as trust in the object of worship. But the basic definition of Faith is: a firm belief in something or someone. You need a reason to believe!!!
I, for example, trust the weather forecast and believe in the existence of aliens, because there are reasons for this belief. And the guys in cassocks offer to believe them that there is a God. But at the same time, no evidence of this is presented. They say, do not be confused, in the Bible, they say, it says…!!! By the way, a very good communist idea did not take root because it was turned into a religion. And as history shows, any religion is a path to medieval obscurantism!
I know that there is no God!!! I am, thank God, an atheist (sorry for the oxymoron, or oxymoron, as you like). Faith and knowledge are different concepts. Science knows that it does not know everything, and it is asymptotically approaching the truth, that is, complete knowledge, but most likely this is unattainable. Religion, on the other hand, claims to know the ultimate truth and that the truth was whispered in its ear by the Almighty.
Yes, faith is needed. Knowledge goes with faith, but faith in common sense. After all, a scientist, putting forward a hypothesis, believes that it will be confirmed. And if it doesn't, well, let's put forward another hypothesis, and we're getting closer to the truth. But the churches have only one thing: the Bible says…
Knowledge is a support, a foundation, and faith in mythical gods is a crutch.
Dostoevsky and his novel The Brothers Karamazov (undoubtedly a great writer and a great novel) are often mentioned today. Ivan Karamazov once said angrily: if there is no God, then everything is allowed? Here Ivan is wrong. Faith in God does not insure against committing illegal acts! In the entire history of religious beliefs, so many crimes have been committed by churchmen and their congregations that it can be argued that religious organizations, both large and small, do not even have their hands up to their elbows, they are covered in blood up to their shoulders. Never get clean. And the “good” Orthodox novoversh how many Old Believers were burned alive?
Atheists are not fans of any forces. Atheists are supporters of common sense, and it is certainly not necessary to look for it in the Bible and other literary monuments of ancient peoples.
Well, in conclusion. It can be argued that 100% of the world's population is atheist. Someone believes or believed in Perun, someone in Zeus, someone in the supposedly resurrected Christ, someone in the Aztec god Vitzliputzli, etc. Mankind has come up with thousands of gods and deities in the entire history of its existence. If I ask a Christian: do you believe in Vitzliputzli – he will probably answer: no! Yes, my dear fellow, you are an atheist-I will have to state it.
You need to build the sentence correctly, then it will be clear. Atheism is not a belief in the absence of God, but a lack of faith in God. Just as poverty is not a means of not being rich, it is a lack of means of being rich. Just like that.
Because in this context, faith is nothing but an assumption. The assumption that there is a higher power, namely God, is acceptable.�
The confusion in these concepts is interpreted rather in favor of theism, when faith is presented as a certain innermost quality of the human soul. Therefore, atheism cannot be called a faith, for the simple reason that it casts doubt on this assumption.�
The theist assumes (believes), the atheist doubts. By defining the basic concepts precisely, you can use them more precisely and get a clear picture
atheism -the belief in the absence of any love of the gods. Since it is impossible to prove or disprove the existence of God (whatever is meant by this), then nothing remains but faith in their absence for the atheist or faith in their existence for the theist.
In principle, an atheist differs from a theist by little more than nothing – a theist believes only in some gods and does not believe in all the others, an atheist does not believe in any gods (but can believe that any and however delusional ideology describes reality in the only correct way)
The Bible defines Faith:
“Faith is the fulfillment of what is expected and the assurance of what is not seen.”
(Hebrews 11: 1-Heb 11: 1)
Atheists do not believe in the invisible (the spiritual world), but walk by sight. They believe in the material world.
Therefore, they cannot be called believers in the Biblical sense.
All for the same reason. for which the grandmother is not a grandfather.
This is not a philosophical question, but a question indicating a low mental level.
Every reasonable person should understand that each word means something specific , the word atheism cannot mean the same thing as the word faith, and if it is not clear, it means that it is not reasonable enough.
Why do we live on Earth? What is the meaning of our lives?
In the history of philosophy, we know a number of unsuccessful attempts to find answers to these questions.

And another thing: does fear help bring someone closer to someone else? No! – love! And it is not for nothing that Jesus and all the other Divine Teachers teach us not to fear, not to hate — but to LOVE!

No monkey can verify 95% of the information it has.And no matter what they say about the verifiability of experiments,no monkey can personally check all the tested experiments.And so 95% of her knowledge is Faith in them.And as mentioned above, no faith makes any difference if it is not justified ,not meaningful by the bearer of faith, but accepted without proof.There is no difference whether you are an atheist or an adept of the Tumbu-yumba faith.As long as you don't understand the Basics of this or that concept or Idea,you can't be an adherent of this concept or idea, you are just a religious fanatic.And as I said,most atheists have no idea what Scientific atheism is all about.Having heard enough from teachers or senior comrades about the failure of faith in God,that only fools do this,adherents of atheism thoughtlessly follow what they think is a successful technology.However, I can say the same about believers in Spirits.Most believers don't give a damn about their own religion and its philosophy.Well..that's why they are believers, whether they are atheists, Baptists, or tumbu-Yubists. And all of them are measured by members,although both are ignorant by nature, with rare exceptions.Instinct, however.
Please!Just do not need religious disputes and drool-de my atheistic faith is correct, I am not a monkey, not an ignoramus, Faith is not an instinct for you, but a Saint, etc….Hopeless.I do not reject your worldview at all,I am absolutely sure that your Faith is the most Correct, and you are very educated……Who understands-he understands, and hello to Them.)
Atheism denies faith, opposes it, and does not imply it. And his denial builds not on speculation, not on the unknown. On the refusal of their conjecturesunknown to recognize. Atheism is based on logic. What is impossible to prove, what is absurd, does not require recognition. In it
ecognition there is an agreement to consider yourself flawed. An atheist has the right to be such / flawed, to recognize the role of a puppet. Just doesn't recognize it. He can't get them, colloquially, in. Nowhere, he has no faith, not even its “organ”.
Atheism cannot prove its claims due to the unsolvability of the main question of philosophy (about the primacy of spirit or matter), so clearly atheism is faith (a system of statements that cannot be proved. And refute it too). But we must understand that atheism is not a religion.
I'm sorry! I posted the answer in the wrong place: not as an answer to the question, but as a comment on the last answer. So – again!
Let's separate the flies from the cutlets. Cutlets, in this case, are a person's faith, and flies are a particular church that parasitizes on a person's natural need for faith. A person can believe in anything or anyone: in God, in the devil, in flying saucers, in communism, in the immortal soul, in the weather forecast. In the commentary, faith is interpreted one-sidedly – as trust in the object of worship. But the basic definition of Faith is: a firm belief in something or someone. You need a reason to believe!!!
I, for example, trust the weather forecast and believe in the existence of aliens, because there are reasons for this belief. And the guys in cassocks offer to believe them that there is a God. But at the same time, no evidence of this is presented. They say, do not be confused, in the Bible, they say, it says…!!! By the way, a very good communist idea did not take root because it was turned into a religion. And as history shows, any religion is a path to medieval obscurantism!
I know that there is no God!!! I am, thank God, an atheist (sorry for the oxymoron, or oxymoron, as you like). Faith and knowledge are different concepts. Science knows that it does not know everything, and it is asymptotically approaching the truth, that is, complete knowledge, but most likely this is unattainable. Religion, on the other hand, claims to know the ultimate truth and that the truth was whispered in its ear by the Almighty.
Yes, faith is needed. Knowledge goes with faith, but faith in common sense. After all, a scientist, putting forward a hypothesis, believes that it will be confirmed. And if it doesn't, well, let's put forward another hypothesis, and we're getting closer to the truth. But the churches have only one thing: the Bible says…
Knowledge is a support, a foundation, and faith in mythical gods is a crutch.
Dostoevsky and his novel The Brothers Karamazov (undoubtedly a great writer and a great novel) are often mentioned today. Ivan Karamazov once said angrily: if there is no God, then everything is allowed? Here Ivan is wrong. Faith in God does not insure against committing illegal acts! In the entire history of religious beliefs, so many crimes have been committed by churchmen and their congregations that it can be argued that religious organizations, both large and small, do not even have their hands up to their elbows, they are covered in blood up to their shoulders. Never get clean. And the “good” Orthodox novoversh how many Old Believers were burned alive?
Atheists are not fans of any forces. Atheists are supporters of common sense, and it is certainly not necessary to look for it in the Bible and other literary monuments of ancient peoples.
Well, in conclusion. It can be argued that 100% of the world's population is atheist. Someone believes or believed in Perun, someone in Zeus, someone in the supposedly resurrected Christ, someone in the Aztec god Vitzliputzli, etc. Mankind has come up with thousands of gods and deities in the entire history of its existence. If I ask a Christian: do you believe in Vitzliputzli – he will probably answer: no! Yes, my dear fellow, you are an atheist-I will have to state it.
You need to build the sentence correctly, then it will be clear. Atheism is not a belief in the absence of God, but a lack of faith in God. Just as poverty is not a means of not being rich, it is a lack of means of being rich. Just like that.
Because in this context, faith is nothing but an assumption. The assumption that there is a higher power, namely God, is acceptable.�
The confusion in these concepts is interpreted rather in favor of theism, when faith is presented as a certain innermost quality of the human soul. Therefore, atheism cannot be called a faith, for the simple reason that it casts doubt on this assumption.�
The theist assumes (believes), the atheist doubts. By defining the basic concepts precisely, you can use them more precisely and get a clear picture
