Hi, frens. You might have noticed the old cringe Meme (picrel). well, I used to see this Meme all over theology related forums, back in 2008/10, and I always thought: "Is this Meme right?". So, today I will debunk the claim that all the men in this Meme are atheists.Reminder that atheism is the rejection of a belief in any deity, not just the Judeo-christian god.>Albert Einstein: Albert Einstein himself stated "I'm not an atheist, and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist ... I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings".>Carl Sagan:He could best have been described as an agnostic. He rejected the label of “atheist”, claiming (wrongly) that an atheist is someone who has proof that there is no God. Instead, he insisted that although he didn't believe in a god, he had no proof either way as to whether or not God existed.>Charles Darwin: Though he thought of religion as a tribal survival strategy, Darwin still believed that a God was the ultimate lawgiver, and later recollected that at the time he was convinced of the existence of God as a First Cause and deserved to be called a theist.>Benjamin Franklin: Moreover, Franklin told us in his autobiography that he was a “thorough deist.” Also, he was a Freemason, in fact, he was accorded the highest Masonic honors at home and abroad. 1730-1 February, initiated in St. John's Lodge, Philadelphia.>Mar Twain: Twain rejected orthodox Christian theology, he was not explicitly an atheist. He wrestled with the idea of God, sometimes expressing a form of deism or agnosticism. He often referred to a "Creator" or "Providence" in his writings.Thomas Jefferson: Like other Founding Fathers, Jefferson was considered a Deist, subscribing to the liberal religious strand of Deism that values reason over revelation.
>>39330428Carl Sagan was an atheist, even if he didn't claim to be one. An atheist is someone with no religious(theistic) beliefs.
>>39330428Well here's a simpler answer, dishpit.All of them are Freemasons (go check urself)The freemasons have a very strict, "No Atheists" clause.
>>39330956Your definition is wrong. That would be a agnostic. A agnostic recognizes deities as cultural forms, but dont have a belief in them.
>>39330428You can argue that deism is some kind of predecessor of atheism
>>39330428Only a christcuck could seethe and attempt to "disprove" a silly demotivator meme from 15000000 years ago. Literally nobody gives a fuck.
I think the difference between agnosticism and atheism is how to approach existence. Agnosticism have no trouble in assuming thought to be real, so everything is real as long as the mind conceives it. Atheism needs a physical confirmation, so thought is not real, only the consequence of it in the physical plane is. That's why it is possible to be a gnostic agnostic, so you can state that everything is real as thought, but some of these realities are not for you, and you pick up which one you want (which leads to gnosticism).
>>39330428The white race is not allowed to be nationalist white supremacist Nazi anymore all we have left is Christianity. Atheism is OK but I think they're traitors. You should be christian or dead. It's politic correct because it's not about race. It's about religious indoctrination.
>>39332486Why would you want to be a Nazi? The actual National Socialist Workers Party of Germany. They killed disabled people first. Not to mention Poles, Roma and a bunch of other people. I would even include Jews in there but you might think that was deserved. It's stupid to want to be a Nazi. They were actually evil.
>>39332501>I would even include Jews in there but you might think that was deservedNo, you won't include them because you know as well as I that it didn't happen.
True atheism is solipsism. God is just what's outside you
>>39332501The only case where you shouldn't be Christian is if Christians try to brainwash you you make it clear you're 50% christian 50% satanist christian white christian satanist western satanist. You follow different philosophy they can go fuck themselves
>>39331805What's a gnostic?
>>39330428Christianity is a bit outdated but then Satanism is too inclusive. It's a real dilemma.
>>39330428Imagine how cool it would be if in Europe Christians would kill people every day in the name of our Christian god, the only true god who tells us to kill everyone who wears the wrong clothes or eats the wrong food
>>39330428We need a white supremacist Satanist movement. Don't let any outsiders be associated with our western white satanism. They can make their own different Satanism.
>>39330428>These men were not atheistyeah but they were all masonsthats worse
>>39332646>being a hippy is truly enlightenedlmao, only retards buy that shit
>>39332620>white satanismyou already have it, it's called paganism, and it's super gay.
>>39332672>doesnt understand image>somehow comes to the conclusion of hippieslollmao evenNGMI.
>>39331805Agnostic is a dumb term>A agnostic recognizes deities as cultural formsEveryone recognizes deities and religions as cultural constructs.
>>39332646>>39332672*cough* *cough*
>>39332878niceatleast theres some hope in this place
>>39332672You're the retard
>>39332922praised be the holy milk
>>39331831>so these guys weren't actually atheists>well yeah that's true but REEEEE CHRISTKEK NOBODY CARES OMGDemons, exorcise them
>>39333211i want to make a hat that says HATHOR GIVES MILK
>>39332620I mean, that causal form exists.
>>39330428good post keep it up
>>39332620Everytime people like you try that it gets filled with pedophiles
>>39330428Furthermore, I realized "skeptics" were not really materialists, when the "out-of-body experiences" article of the Skeptical Dictionary was sympathic towards experiencers.
>>39331784That's not true. It's probably best to enter FM as open-minded but skeptical atheist since it's the most accurate belief system to describe the exoteric world and you won't have to unlearn any dogma. It's just that some of the physics and cosmology seems to point to a panentheistic creator consciousness inhabiting our universe. Those stars you see in the sky? Those God's neurons firing as He inevitably wills the Universe to expand, growing His own mindbody, and conquering the infinite void beyond Him.
>>39332533lurk more retard
>>39333492tell me why it matters that they weren't atheists
>>39330428>Retard discovers irony.
>>39336835>It's probably best to enter FM as open-minded but skeptical atheist"Atheists are not welcome. Freemasonry is not a religion per se, but agnostics or atheists cannot belong, said Brent Morris, a Masonic historian, editor of the Scottish Rite Journal"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/9-things-you-didnt-know-about-freemasonry/
>>39337486>AASROk chief.
>>39330428Neither Twain nor Darwin were atheists.
>>39332486>you can only be a brown shirt or a christcuckThere are other options, anon. One of them is coomer spirituality, which ranges from entry-level waifuism to reality creation.
>>39330428plenty of these "especially Darwin" were clearly just masking their atheism because of the judgement they received from it. Like a gay who says he's just "bi-curious" so his alcoholic dad doesn't beat him up.
>>39332486>The white race is not allowed to be nationalist white supremacist Nazi anymoregood thing, obviously
>>39337583Friendly reminder that the anglo-american branch of freemasonry all started when the american lodges decided to ban black people from joining and diverged from there to ban atheists/agnostics from joining and political discussions in lodge meetings.
