Atheism & Religion: Equal Tools?

Not being a theist you might not see what I am missing. In my understanding invoking good is believing in god.

 

And in my understanding invoking good is being good.

 

I was hoping this thread was going to call atheists and religious people tools =[

 

The holiest place is the devoted heart.

 

Irminsul:

I don't see why it can't. Don't even get me started on agnostics
;-D



thedope:

Not being a theist it could well be I don't see what you're missing. Am I wrong in thinking it's god? There is nothing amiss in your heart.

 

I mean the devotional heart of all things, to be.

 

All things to be? The devotion of all that are is just as hearty, if only they'd get together to know it. :-D

 

Knowledge is being shared. The impulse to be is the impulse to share, from the hardness of a stone, to the wall of a cell, to a sense a of gratitude, a magnanimous intent.

 

I mean conscious giving of our being, as distinct from sharing it by default.

Deciding to know is not beyond us. :-D

 

there are quite enough threads along these lines already

 

Autophobe:

Is that you? Your quote I mean. :-D

 

actually no, this is from a film i'm rather fond of. peter sellers says it to Ringo Starr in "the magic christian", kind of a madcap surreal, psychedelic comedy.
