Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:42:50 +0000 http://www.travisjmorgan.com/blog/2008/01/04/the-moral-atheist/#comment-18084 How can one person say "this is what I believe" and another person resopond "you have no right to say that" ? Isn't it a basic human right to speak our hearts? And how can one person say "you are not allowed to force your belief on me" ? Isn't that, then yet another force of belief? When did it become a crime to disagree? When did it become an invasion of privacy to attempt to convince someone to agree with you? I remember that to be "debate"....free of personal attacks, but deeply personal in the belief that oneself is right....regardless of either party's change of mind...or change of heart. Freedom to disbelive demands freedom to believe. Living in equality demands respect, even when respect is not given to you. (sounds a bit Biblical) Doing right only comes from unconditional love of one another. Center a disbelief around that. (didn't someone alread do that?)

Atheists do not have ownership on on 0. In my own thinking, it has been long standing, that a notion of God begins in 0. The post is interesting, but is substantively short in understanding one's understanding in God and the role of experience in this understanding. The great mystics have described experiences that the vanguard of science are now beginning to appreciate. If this will be comforting, this comment is written not only by one 'religious' but one who is thoroughly indifferent to the 'beliefs' of an atheist. What is important to this 'religious' is the conduct of any one among, to, and with others. And their are many others like ms :-) <em>alias inkhorn's last blog post..<a href='http://aliasinkhorn.blogspot.com/2008/01/i-was-asked-what-is-totalitarianism-i.html' rel="nofollow">in the chilling shade</a></em> just a jot on the notion of 0 and +1.

Well said... sometimes I read a post like this and think, that is EXACTLY what I wished I could have written in my blog, but you beat me to it. Excellent. Now if we can just find a way to market the value of non-belief without labels such as atheist, bright, agnostic, secular, etc. By and large, we are just good people... at least we aren't hypocrites. :) <em>Hugh's last blog post..<a href='http://www.laytheism.com/blog/?p=8' rel="nofollow">Consider the Possibilities</a></em> That is so perfect.
