What you believe? Or the way you believe it?

What you believe? Or the way you believe it?:

Fundamentalism has less to do with the contents of belief than the way the believer holds those beliefs.

For example, fundamentalism is strongly associated with dogmatism — beliefs considered unassailable and held with fervent, unjustified certainty[…].

[F]undamentalism has a strong “us versus them” dynamic, […] authoritarianism and ethnocentrism (e.g. Positive correlations have been observed between fundamentalism, anti-homosexual sentiment, and racist attitudes.)

Anton: so why does it hurt?

You: I’m trying to stop saying “I don’t know;” it leaves me feeling like there’s something wrong with me for not knowing all there is to know. Some people —perhaps due to fear of being labeled deaf, blind, mute, or the simpleton— avoid saying “I don’t know” by… acting like they’re deaf, blind, mute, or simpletons.

I just don’t get this. There’s no shame in not knowing. Knowledge is not a commodity, nor should it be treated as such. I *love* the way other cultures self-disclose that the speaker does not know all there is to know.

My two favorites: Down here in the south, some folk say “Beats the hell out of me.” Middle-eastern cultures (well, at least the Arabic and Jewish ones) say “God knows.”

I asked you ”why does it hurt that it doesn’t hurt?” Your reply was to ask ”so why does it hurt?”

Here’s my answer: “Beats the hell out of me” and “God knows” Can you tell me why? Why does it hurt?

Anton: maktub, some people say, which means something like fate. others will say you do not exist, so absence of pain is only natural - how can pain exist when there is nobody there to feel it? you just have to realize it.

You: Ah. That helps a lot. Thank you.

cartoon: dead is dead? | nakedpastor:

There’s something about the writings of David Hayward (the naked pastor) that seem to just sing to something within me. Ignoring the specifics of the details —the dwelling place of the devil, remember?— allows me to sense that the resonating “stuff” can be heard in his painfully open, blues-style authenticity.

“Love me, if you please. Leave me if you don’t. Either way, here I am, warts and all.”

An Atheist Defends Religion

Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:00:00 -0600

How do Christians react when they find you are actually defending religion? Why are you defending religion anyway?

[…]

Why do I defend religion? Remember, I am defending religion not God. That is something plausible just as it is possible to defend the scientific method or the capitalist system. I am defending the belief in God, but not the existence of God. And since I believe that religion is a net-positive in society, I wanted to make that argument to the militant atheists who offend me and many other tolerant, open-mined atheists.
