Ot; new religion on the rise; possibilians

I used to think of myself as agnostic until I stumbled upon this this playing on the history channel one night:

You have to load the veoh player to watch the whole thing.

It is called “The History of Disbelief” and comes in 3 parts.

I have a new religious stance as well – after 12 years of Catholic school and this 3-hours of video, I now refer to myself as a “Recovering Catholic”

I’m an atheist and proud of it.
America is just a weird place.

There’s something wrong with our country when all politicians must say “may God bless America”, lest they be condemned.

How are you defining atheist? Are you saying that you’re sure that there’s no supreme being?

To me, being an atheist by that definition is the same as being religious (in that it doesn’t make rational sense). If you’re sure there’s no god, you’re taking something on faith. You can’t possibly (rationally)know for sure that there is no supernatural force ruling the universe.

To say that, to you, the idea of a supreme being is ridiculous and so unlikely as to not merit concern (let alone base your life on one and start wars over them) is more rational, but isn’t really atheism.
