Atheism
atheism. atheism is the philosophy that there are no gods ( a = without, theos = god). (see also Occam's Razor as justification of atheism)
http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/ATHEISM.html

Extractions: Atheism is the philosophy that there are no god s ("a" = without, "theos" = god) The simplest argument for atheism follows from Occam's Razor : from different equivalent explanations, choose the simplest one. If we cannot explain more things by postulating the existence of God than we can without, then we should prefer the theory without. The fact that this principle is not sufficient to prove that God does not exist, is not very relevant. After all, nobody can prove that unicorns, flying toasters or 23-legged purple elephants do not exist, but that does not make their existence any more likely. (see also: Occam's Razor as justification of atheism This assumes that the existence of God does not explain anything. However, the most typical argument for the existence of God is that creation by God is needed to explain the complexity of the universe around us. Apart from the fact that that same complexity can already be explained by straightforward principles of evolution and self-organization , the introduction of God does not in any way contribute to explanation, since it just pushes the phenomenon to be explained one step away. If God explains the existence of the universe, then what explains the existence of God? Since the concept of God is neither simpler nor more intuitive than the concept of the Universe, explaining God's origin is not in any way easier than explaining the origin of the Universe. On the contrary, since God is in principle unknowable, we cannot even hope to explain His coming into being. On the other hand, although the Universe may never be grasped in its totality, there are definitely many aspects of it that are observable and understandable, and lend themselves to ever more complete explanations. In conclusion, postulating God as an explanation does not only make the theory unnecessarily complicated, it even obscures those phenomena that might have been explained otherwise.

As you read this, the American Empire is taking its last steps toward eventual destruction, and ultimately its rightful place on the scrap heap of history alongside other failed empires. I must congratulate President Bush on a job well done. The United States has had imperial ambitions since its foundations, however, past regimes had used the fig leaf of international diplomacy and cooperation to hide this fact, and much of the world had cooperated willingly as the United States increased its hegemony throughout. document.writeln( 'â' + quote[ quoteIdx ] + 'â' ); document.writeln( 'â ' + attrib[ quoteIdx ] + '' ); âThe world is witnessing a second great power: it is the power of international public opinion, which is forecasting the end of the United States.â â Marwan Fares, www.dailystar.com.lb President Bush, however, has revealed the United States for what it is: An empire with delusions of grandeur rivalling Rome, a sense of self-entitlement rivalling the British Empire, an expertise at propagandizing rivalling the Soviets, and barbarity rivalling Nazi Germany. Each of these empires, and all others, eventually, and sometimes quite quickly, imploded under their own weight and the conflict they caused. And, now that the true ambitions of the American Empire are known, its days are numbered, and its ultimate fate is surely sealed. I shall soon be far from Americaâs shores, where I will watch with satisfaction the twilight of the last and largest of the worldâs empires.

Extractions: Welcome to Further Than Atheism. Written for non-believers of all stripes , Further Than Atheism is an ongoing attempt to explore the territory that lies beyond the rejection of gods that all atheists share. It is based upon the insight that atheism should be a beginning, not an end in itself. By focusing merely upon what they do not believe, atheists restrict themselves to mere reaction to the ideas of the religious. Atheism consists only of negation, but it allows for many possible affirmations as well. The search for such possibilities is what Further Than Atheism is all about. Isn't Atheism Enough?

http://www.eskimo.com/~cwj2/atheism/moralath.html

Extractions: Last revised 29 January 1998 Introduction One claim that theists make often in #atheism is that one cannot both accept atheism and objective moral standards at the same time. They feel that at least one of these two views is true: objective moral standards prove that God exists, or that if there is not a God, then there cannot be objective moral standards. This paper serves a few purposes. First, it directly shows that there are differing views on morality between atheists. One of the writers is a moral subjectivist ; the other is a moral objectivist. In the first half, Charles Johnson defends a subjective view of morality. In the second half, Ed. Stoebenau defends a view that atheism and objective morality are consistent; one can accept both and still be ration in these respects. This paper shows that the moral argument for theism can be defeated in both of its premises: either there are not objective moral standards or they do not need to be from a deity. Note The views expressed in the first part of the essay are no longer the views of the author of that part (Charles W. Johnson); indeed, he's changed his mind to almost precisely the opposite. However, this essay has been left online in order to ensure that links to it continue to work, and for reading interest. - CWJ, 27 May 2002
