Distinctive religions and the prejudice of others to comply with the act of a specific confidence has ejected into savage bleeding clashes all since forever. <a href="https://islamicfiqh.net/en" rel="nofollow">Islamic Fiqh</a><br />Jennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639742669691521251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981955999380233694.post-10758654650710841942008-12-28T23:42:00.000-07:002008-12-28T23:42:00.000-07:00Thanks GregI've been getting a lot of support from...Thanks Greg<BR/><BR/>I've been getting a lot of support from my fellow atheist and non-believer friends which made things a lot easier. I have a few GLBT friends and I want them to have the same rights as everybody else, I hope I inspired others to do the same.<BR/><BR/>I do hope you can make it to one or more of our events (they are open to the public). You will be surprised to find that most atheists don't claim absolute certainty of the existence of god(s), in fact many of us are also involved in the skeptical society which promotes a more scientific approach to reality. I would even go out on a limb and say that your views are shared by many of the atheists I know.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to you coming back to E-Town drop me a message on FB when you do, and we can get together for coffee/drinks. I'll let Jared know you said hi (we wound up working together...again lol). Hope your holidays were good too (mine were interesting to say the least).<BR/><BR/>Take CareAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981955999380233694.post-30048816471548834412008-12-28T21:17:00.000-07:002008-12-28T21:17:00.000-07:00Yay! My first wholly unsolicited blog reader! If...Yay! My first wholly unsolicited blog reader! If there was a prize, you would have just won it. ;)<BR/><BR/>Funny you should happen on my blog this week, I just happened on your two coming-out video posts the other day... I have been meaning to send a comment but with the holidays being so busy I just haven't gotten around to it yet. It was heartbreaking to hear about the fallout but in the end I'm glad you decided to do what felt right for you.<BR/><BR/>I probably should have been a little more clear about my views on atheism. I suppose you're right about dogma... pretty much by definition it's impossible for atheism to be dogmatic. On the other hand, I've definitely met at least a few atheists who are just as militant about their views as even the most hardcore religious crazies could ever hope to be. <BR/><BR/>What it boils down to for me is that it's really impossible to know or prove one way or the other. Like I said in my post, I find it highly unlikely that a god or gods exist, but I still think it could be *possible* that there's more to the universe than we can see. I'm generally a little skeptical of anyone who is 100% certain about *anything*.<BR/><BR/>I'm planning on moving back to Edmonton pretty soon... I might just have to take you up on your meeting invite one of these days.<BR/><BR/>Hope all is well with you also and that you ended up having a good holiday season! Say Hi to Jared for me too! :)Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00946117778579236068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3981955999380233694.post-74058881985721147372008-12-27T15:26:00.000-07:002008-12-27T15:26:00.000-07:00Hey GregNathan here, we used to work together on t...Hey Greg<BR/><BR/>Nathan here, we used to work together on the AIO contract at the Big Con, I kinda stumbled upon your blog here and just wanted to let you know that for the most part I agree with you, the only part that I wanted to address however was the assumption that atheism is dogmatic and a religion.<BR/><BR/>I'm an out atheist myself and an active member of our local atheist society here in E-Town and I can guarantee that there is no dogma, in fact it can be interesting trying to get 2 or more atheists to agree on anything beyond the lack of belief in god(s).<BR/><BR/>If you find yourself in Edmonton, we have monthly pub nights, and I'm sure you would find an interesting discussion to say the least.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are well otherwise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
