Everyone is entitle to their own beliefs and opinions as long as they don't try to shove it down my throat. I don't care if you believe in the spaghetti monster. Religion is like a penis. Its fine to have one. Its fine to be proud of it, but please don't whip it out in public and wave it around, and please don't try to shove it down my kids throats.

Kinda funny because that's exactly what you're doing with this thread. It doesn't matter what people believe in, we're all humans here and can play PoE together just fine.

And for the record, I'm an atheist too but would rather not play with closed minded people such as yourself.

Is this post disguised as LFG so athiests can circle jerk? If you need community then you should join a church!

Einsteins thoughts on atheists:

Einstein rejected the label atheist, which he associated with certainty regarding God's nonexistence. Einstein stated:

"I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."[1] According to Prince Hubertus, Einstein said, "In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."[16]

Damning from the greatest scientist of our times. He went on to say:

Your question [about God] is the most difficult in the world. It is not a question I can answer simply with yes or no. I am not an Atheist. I do not know if I can define myself as a Pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. May I not reply with a parable? The human mind, no matter how highly trained, cannot grasp the universe. We are in the position of a little child, entering a huge library whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of the human mind, even the greatest and most cultured, toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged, obeying certain laws, but we understand the laws only dimly. Our limited minds cannot grasp the mysterious force that sways the constellations. I am fascinated by Spinoza's Pantheism. I admire even more his contributions to modern thought. Spinoza is the greatest of modern philosophers, because he is the first philosopher who deals with the soul and the body as one, not as two separate things.[17]

Er Horde? Any comments on what Einstein said? I have not to date had a single response from an Atheist on Einstein's comments. They always try and ignore what he said :)

as once was said by the infamous aleister crowley. magick is being able to make change in conformity to will.." and" magick ;the method of science the aim of religion. So if You are making change with the method of the sciences then it is still performing magick.

hence 14 century alchemy is now chemistry.

now! magick is based out of a vibratory current. that current taking on all aspects of existance. we can call the current whatever you like but we have to visually name it so our dualistic conscience can process it.

that being said two people look at an atoms make up. the qualities that is composed of the atom can be described in various fashions . positive/ negative, proton/neutron. good and evil whatever the classification be we are all classifying for sake of explanation.

both religion and science agrees there is forces that is yet to be explained.and the object of both is to put an explanation on them.

now where bias religion comes in is when one thinks that there perspective of this vibration is the only true way . and one other point that has plagued religion is the belief that the force whatever, it is that you call it =is separate from ourselves.

man and god are one as well as man and science..the only true difference is how we choose to classify it.

Science and religion are not both attempting to do the same thing.

Science is a method to determine truth (the truth of an assumed metaphysical world), by observing patterns in our experiences, and describing these patterns with scientific models.

Religion is the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power.

However, philosophy is a study which is most relevant to the points you are making, which are philosophical, neither religious nor scientific.
