Distribution of societies that believe in moralizing, high gods (blue) and those that do not (red). Light gray shading indicates lower potential for plant growth with the darker areas signifying high potential. (Carlos Botero)- boomscarabin
- interesting! people turn to god when the shit hits the fanmonospaced
- I am guess it has nothing do with weather patterns lol... if not accurate all together.yurimon
- the hellz plant growth have to do with fucking religion?moldero
- No food and you starve and think the gods are punishing you. Abundant areas make for happier people.monospaced
- Happy peoples don't have to turn to religion for answers.monospaced
- So the red dots are the atheists?********

- Thats not point of deeper thinking or reflecting. you are confusing truth with religion.yurimon
- There is religion for control of the masses then there is mysticism and connectivity of your deeper sensesyurimon

"Religion is belief in someone else's experience. Spirituality is having your own experience. Atheism is no experience only measurement."
- Deepak Chopra- "Life" itself is an experience. Atheists are experiencing it in all its beauty. It is not as simple as a measurement.monospaced
- You're experiencing life. not atheism broh.yurimon
- You are too wrapped up in an identity with no meaning. no different then a style like hipsters.yurimon
- I disagree and take offense that you feel an atheist has "no meaning." That only shows your narrow-mindednessmonospaced
- Life itself is spiritual in that we are all part of this big ecosystem. It's larger than us and awe-inspiring and beautiful.monospaced
- Yes, I'm living life. My experiences are not lesser because I don't attribute the good/bad to a 3rd party.monospaced
- You dont experience life as an ism broh. Do you say oh look a flower. as an atheist its pretty. ner ner neryurimon
- no, of course not, because atheism isn't a belief system. And no religion would make my perceptions any different.monospaced
- "broh"moldero
- this is the dumbest thing i've ever seen chopra sayscarabin
- <lol Its measuring if god exist or not.yurimon
- The experience even though yours in its purest form is not of words, or constructs of your labeling mind.yurimon
- Mono, atheism IS a belief system, we've been through this before. You're wrong.Morning_star

- Cats are atheists and so are rocks and potatoes.Morning_star
- so is every fucking human being until they're told to believe in some shitmonospaced
- Nope. You're wrong about that too.Morning_star
- Actually, I'm not. Take any human being born into this world and do not tell them about religion. They will not find Jebus.monospaced
- Jebusmonospaced
- True. But I would argue that human beings have an instinctive spiritual need. Just look at any of the isolated tribes found in the Amazon etc. Every single one WITHOUT FAIL have spiritual beliefs and ceremonies.Morning_star

"For a new world view to emerge it must be coherent. It cannot be built up from entirely personal experiences, because sometimes these experiences are so intense that we can't see beyond them. "
—Deepak Chopra discrediting spirituality and religion.

"The hard truth seems to be this: We live in a vast and awesome universe in which, daily, suns are made and worlds destroyed, where humanity clings to an obscure clod of rock. The significance of our lives and our fragile realm derives from our own wisdom and courage. We are the custodians of life’s meaning. We would prefer it to be otherwise, of course, but there is no compelling evidence for a cosmic Parent who will care for us and save us from ourselves. It is up to us."
- Carl Sagan

“Why should I live, that is to say, what real, permanent result will come out of my illusory transitory life — what meaning has my finite existence in this infinite world?”
"So that besides rational knowledge, which had seemed to me the only knowledge, I was inevitably brought to acknowledge that all live humanity has another irrational knowledge — faith which makes it possible to live. Faith still remained to me as irrational as it was before, but I could not but admit that it alone gives mankind a reply to the questions of life, and that consequently it makes life possible."

So what's paradise supposed to be? if we're reunited with our loved ones, that means we maintain our physical forms, or the people I know will have completely different forms? do we have cellphones there and internet? how do we communicate with everybody? Plain talking face to face? Just how much technology is there in heaven? does it go along with the one we have on earth? I would like to get this explained.

- I would but George needs to be here.Morning_star
- yeah, but to live your life so strictly based on "faith" in something that you don't know seems ridiculousmonospaced
- We all base our lives on faith. Some choose to extend that belief to include the supernatural. Some go further and put that faith in a spiritual or religious creed. It's just different levels of belief in answers provided by both the physical and spiritual worlds.Morning_star
- that faith in a spiritual or religious creed. It's just different levels of belief in answers provided by both the physical and spiritual worlds.Morning_star
- 'reality'.Morning_star
- that's the thing, there are no answers provided by a spiritual reality... anyone claiming they have them made it upmonospaced
- and I admit it is funny since i'm a spiritual atheistmonospaced
- there's a difference between having faith and just believing something stupid. stupid people see evidence whether it's there or not, faith people believe knowing there's no evidencescarabin
- or not, faith people believe knowing there's no evidencescarabin
