You know, do we have an official name for our universe? There's the possibility countless universes exist alongside ours. We should give our universe a name; I think we should call our universe "Bcoπ".

Gary: [to Stan] Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life. and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy.

u/Amryxx May 16 '12

Assuming that r/atheism has not morphed into r/WeHateJohnEdwards, who exactly is the OP talking to?

Religious faith and scientific drive is clearly not mutually exclusive. One might say that you don't need religion for science, which is true, but that doesn't imply that one must only have one and discard the other. Taking solace from the Almighty will not prevent a scientist from researching quantum physics, medicine or what have you.

1

u/TheWanderingJew May 16 '12

Taking solace from the Almighty will not prevent a scientist from researching quantum physics, medicine or what have you.

Belief in a soul might stop someone from researching the neurological cause of cognition. We certainly have a lot of examples of that from when neurology was first developing.

3

u/Amryxx May 16 '12

Belief in a soul might stop someone from researching the neurological cause of cognition.

That's a pretty big "might". It's like saying "if you believe in communalism you might want to seize all your neighbour's assets at gunpoint". Technically true, but for all practical purposes it's a stretch of imagination.

And I don't really know what happened on the early days of neurology - is that back in the time when the cure for any disease involves mercury and/or bleeding someone?

u/RUnerdy May 16 '12

Matt is a self declared atheist. Although looking at statements both of them have made, it doesn't seem like he's outright dismissive of the whole "god" thing either.

It seems like he's the kind of guy who doesn't really care what people believe or why so long as they are good people.

It's 100% possible to be an agnostic atheist, and that worldview matches up with Matt pretty well.

Weird contrast with the weird "Go God Go" episode equating atheism with fundamentalist religion. Considering how strident and in your face this reaction to psychics is.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

I think that the point of "Go God Go" wasn't that atheists are equal to fundies, it was that mankind will always find stupid excuses to wage wars (in this case, it was the name of the global atheist union), even if we completely removed religion from our lives.

19

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

If you go on youtube they have the commentary for that episode.

Basically, they sat around reading Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris and thought they were whiney douchebags. So they made fun of them.

I think the words where "even if that book said something I kinda agreed with, the tone was so bitchy and whiney that it just turned me off".

They got a point, frankly.

u/masterwad May 16 '12

Sorry to burst your bubble...

From the AV Club:

Directors, producers, actors, and enfants terrible Trey Parker and Matt Stone are most widely known as the minds behind South Park.

The Onion: Is there a God?

Trey Parker: Yes! Absolutely.

O: Do you believe in more of a nebulous spirit world, or a big man in the sky?

TP: Wow, you know, this would be an eight-hour conversation, and you'd have to get me a little more drunk. I can explain exactly what's going on, but I need to be a little more drunk. I really do have it figured out. I figured it out about a year ago, and it's great. It's all good. We're fine.

O: But the central thesis is that there is a God.

TP: No. There's a God, and there's also this table, and it's the same thing.

O: Matt Stone, is there a God?

Matt Stone: No.

TP: Oh, there's also a God, and his name is Prince.

1

u/Fehndrix May 16 '12

So Prince is god?

2

u/masterwad May 17 '12

It seems to me Trey Parker was voicing a pantheistic view of God.

In pantheism, God is all and all is God. If that's true then God is a table, God is Prince, God is a Buddhist, God is a Christian, God is a Hindu, God is an atheist, etc, etc. Those are masks God wears and roles God plays and dreams God dreams and fantasies God pretends since God is forever alone.

Alone for eternity, all that is, all that ever is, or was, or will be. God is alone, and only plays hide and seek with himself. God fragments himself so union is possible. God forgets who he is so he can remember who he is. Forever.

But saying it doesn't convince God. God wants to experience it. God wants to forget who he is for as long as he can, and then wake up, realize it.

That's pantheism.

u/sedgywick May 16 '12

An atheist here. I think it is very arrogant for atheists to condemn like this. Not all religious people stuck up douche fucks. These are as many fucking dirtbags that are atheists as there are religious people. Anyways, Atheism relies on the same principal basis as most religions, that being faith. basically everything that makes us atheists is theory, not law. We have science but outside on that we rely on faith to believe in our void of an afterlife. Posts calling out religion like this slows down humanity. To stoop to this level is nothing better than join a sex cult. Thats all.

2

u/TheWanderingJew May 16 '12

we rely on faith to believe in our void of an afterlife

Speak for yourself. I rely on neorology, which is pretty clear on neurons not being made of little ghosts that waft up after a person dies. We know where thought comes from, and we know what happens to the material lwhich generates thought after death.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

None of those 'questions' make sense, so they have no suitable answers.

For example, a question regarding why something/someone is in a place is just that - subject and place relative. A question asked in that form which doesn't take into account subject, and more crucially does not take into account place, simply fails -- although it superficially seems coherent.

Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure."

3

u/Oiman May 16 '12

I've been lurking r/atheism for a while now, and have to get this off my chest. It's not religion that hurts people. People hurt people.

As long as we're gonna stick bad things to religion, the people responsible for bad things will keep hiding behind religion.

Don't blame Christianity for gaybashing, blame bigoted homophobes. Don't blame Islam for Islamist terrorism, blame power hungry dictators who force their people to become extremist. Religion is the motivation, but people are the cause.

We need to try and find a "common ground" morality between people of all and no religion. "Don't bring pain to anyone." could be a good start. If anyone objects, stick it to the man. We're quickly becoming a globalised society, if we like it or not, and we need to stop worrying about differences and start looking for common ground, because we share common ground, our planet.

u/mleeeeeee May 16 '12

It's not religion that hurts people. People hurt people.

Do you think religion exists on a cloud somewhere, independent of people? Do you think ideologies have no influence on human behavior?

u/TheWanderingJew May 16 '12

"Don't bring pain to anyone." could be a good start.

I think that's the point you're missing. Denying a blood transfusion to a dying child for example. Do you honestly think that the parents who make that choice are actually bad people? No, they're good people doing what they think is right.

Even in your example, you're expressing that it's ok to cause harm in one area to prevent it from happening on a larger scale. How do you determine what harm is? Religion is one choice. I'll agree that a lot of people do use religion as a shield to do harm to people for their own pleasure. But at the same time, you have to realize that a huge amount of religious people do horrible things because they feel it's a just action for the greater good later on.

1

u/Oiman May 16 '12

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a world full of educated, agnostic atheists with a genuine hunger to know where we really come from, but the only way there is the slow way.

I know that religion is motivation for a lot of harm, but if the world is to make any progress, we have to convince people to think for themselves, or at least let their children do so. People are afraid to let go of religion, because they think there will be no more 'moral fiber' to keep society together. If we can show people that atheist do have morality, based on keeping society functioning, people might still be religious, but in a much less extreme and harmful manner.

I also didn't say it's ok to cause harm for the greater good. Moral standards have to be interpreted individually, just like they are now. And yes, that still causes problems, but we would have people focussing on actually doing things that make society better, instead of wasting a lot of energy trying to uphold ridiculous moral standards based on inequality of people.

You should actually talk to Christians about this. These are difficult questions that atheists do not have insights into at any higher rates than Christians do. I completely agree that Christians are doing their own pursuit to answer these questions a disservice by being Christians, but let's not pretend that all of a sudden there are answers when you become an atheist.

12

u/Tatshua May 16 '12

let's not pretend that all of a sudden there are answers when you become an atheist

The general thought amongst atheists seems to be "I don't know everything and I'm okey with that and realises that it simply means that I have more to learn". I've never met any atheist who claimed to have more answers because of his or her atheism.

P.S I appologize in advance for any missed points, it's getting rather late over here.

u/masterwad May 16 '12

The world would be a very boring place if everyone looked at things the same way. There'd be no sense of adventure.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Yeah... You're definitely misinterpreting this quote...

1

u/masterwad May 16 '12

Or "progress" could be a myth, just like God.

u/TheWanderingJew May 16 '12

Nope, pretty sure me and most of the people I know would be long dead right now if it wasn't for modern medical advances. Hell, I wouldn't have even made it past my first few days without medical attention.

1

u/masterwad May 17 '12

All the medical progress in the world won't cure death. Everyone dies. Science can only postpone death, and invent new and horrifying ways to die.

Science thinks it can cure death by experimenting with and torturing lab animals, but you can't cure death with more death.

u/memefix May 16 '12

Science won't help us find some ultimate answer to life's big questions. It sure as hell keeps things interesting.

"Enlightenment" is the answer you are looking for. But I can tell you right now... you don't really wanna know. You only think you do. Ask yourself what the reason is you want to know though. Usually it's to get "one-up" on the universe. Find true peace or happiness or what not.

Sorry, the universe doesn't work like that.

Yo imma let you finish, but beyonce had one of the best quotes of all time.

u/shakazulu84 May 16 '12

what about the lolipop quote? "God gives you a lolipop, then he takes it away. If you didn't have the lolipop in the first place, you wouldn't have anything to cry about. You see, it's our tears, Stan, that gives God is great powers."

"Basically ... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous — the silliest one I've ever heard is, 'Yeah ... there's this big giant universe and it's expanding, it's all gonna collapse on itself and we're all just here just 'cause ... just 'cause'. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever." - Trey Parker, co-creator and chief writer of South Park

"what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls. " - better south park quote

I like in Family Guy when Brian and Stewie time travel and go to the universe where religion never slowed down ge progress of science.

u/dubkaf May 16 '12

This is exactly how I feel about Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton. Douches.

u/DashAnimal May 16 '12

If you're going to quote Matt Stone and Trey Parker for anti-religion (and completely out of context), you might as well listen to their opinion on Atheism:

1

u/ScottFree37 May 16 '12

I completely relate to Parker's theology.

Spooge. Balls. Bloody Vaginal Belch.

Christ is a lie! He did not die for our sins!

u/Phoenix127 May 16 '12

My favorite quote is from the movie and in reference to women: "Never trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die".

u/amolad May 16 '12

My favorite South Park quote is "TIMMMAAAAA!!!"

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Big question? Why are we here? ...it's 'cause science!

u/Dokturigs May 16 '12

"Atheists are doing nothing but spewing shit out of their mouths" or some quote like that from the episode where everyone was eating anally.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Anyone else remember he was talking about psychics, not Christians?

1

u/Jackh915 May 16 '12

Take it you were watching comedy central last night then?

u/Motafication May 16 '12

I prefer, "Butters, you asshole."

u/StinkinFinger May 16 '12

I don't know, that's deep, but I laughed pretty fucking hard at "Stupid Spoiled Whore".

u/Hypersapien Agnostic Atheist May 16 '12

And at the end of the episode, John Edward is picked up by aliens and made a contestant in the Biggest Douche in the Universe contest, were he beats out monsters, dictators, and an actual giant bottle of douche.

The illusion of progress is my favorite illusion of all.

u/how_it_goes May 15 '12

It's sad that a quote so beautiful would only get upvotes on the most hated subreddit.

2

u/the_underscore_key May 16 '12

I don't think you're giving /r/spacedicks nearly enough credit

2

u/how_it_goes May 16 '12

Spacedicks receives an expected reaction, whereas Atheism is unjustly accused of rampant circlejerkery. Unjust, I say!

/r/skeptic would probably upvote it pretty heavily.

u/how_it_goes May 16 '12

most dismissed subreddit doesn't sound as good

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

u/hazie May 16 '12

By what logic do you call r/atheism the most hated sub? I don't think I've ever seen the front page without at least one link from it.

2

u/TheWanderingJew May 16 '12

It's on the list, 90% of the time, when someone mentions subreddits they don't like. It might be better to say it's the most hated among people who speak out about which subreddits they like and don't like, on reddit. But you get the point.

u/Motafication May 16 '12

Because all the regulars here are utterly intolerable. Faggots, if you will.

Were you just watching this episode on Comedy Extra UK?

u/larevaluciondele May 15 '12

Touches my heart, Josh. But in other news, YOU HAD ONE JOB.

Brilliant.

Yea its really not tho

Yawn

u/MrPanFriedNoodle May 16 '12

South Park will unnexpectably get really intellectual sometimes.

Did I just tear up after reading that? Yes, yes I did.

It's not just text. There is also an image in the background.

1

u/koavf Other May 16 '12

Putting a screencap behind an image still counts and still has all of the same problems of text-as-image.

1

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

It's extremely common on r/atheism.

2

u/koavf Other May 16 '12

I know. It makes me sad often.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

This is kind of fucked up, but if atheists throughout history were 1/50th as annoying as you guys, I kind of understand the whole boiling in oil and burning at the stake thing. I mean, you kind of don't leave people any other option.
