Atheism and Belief

Posted on September 14, 2007 in Agnosticism

I caught an atheist blogger who tried to define atheism as being an absence of belief — about anything. If you don’t believe, I said to him, you don’t have a mind. Right now there are ideas in your head about the nature of the world that are wrong because our current science has not understood them properly. These ideas will be overturned by more information. You ~believe~ that these are true. Your mind is not fully cognaisant of the nature of the universe with or without a “Higher Power” or “Intelligence” or god. Nor will it ever be. It is natural to fill in the holes as best we can. (OK, I added a little to it.)

Give me a break!

Let’s just see how many atheists attempt to turn this into a “there is/isn’t a God debate”. Thank the Universe that I am an agnostic! I know that knowledge will change as it refines itself.
