A buddy of mine started a new wave of thought aimed at intellectuals, it's intended to encourage common-sense and spiritualism.

Somewhat like Laveyan Satanism, still in the works. Check it out.

It's called Ba'alism.

As for me.

I'm just some guy.

Hallo therazorsedge,

I've disabled your link, because of the following Forum Rule:

QuoteNO SPAM: If in your first post on the forum you include a link, copy paste text, etc it will be considered spam and may be removed or partially removed by a moderator at their own discretion without notice. Spam is everything from unwanted advertisements to posting the same thread or comment on many different forums. If you would like to bring attention to a project of yours (youtube channel, ask for people to take a survey, want feedback on your blog, etc.) just send one of the moderators a heads up private message first so we don't think you're just here to self-promote but are interested in being a contributing member.

Welcome, hope you like it here.
It appears to me (whether rightly or wrongly) that direct arguments against Christianity and theism produce hardly any effect on the public; and freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men's minds which follows from the advance of science - Charles Darwin

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the object of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a god, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism. - Albert Einstein

Religion is a by product of fear. For much of human history, it may have been a necessary evil, but why was it more evil than necessary? Isn't killing people in the name of God a pretty good definition of insanity. - Arther C. Clarke

Faith means not wanting to know what is true. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Pfft. Woopy do!
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

'It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.' - Terry Pratchett
Remember, your inability to grasp science is not a valid argument against it.

Hello therazorsedge.

QuoteThe semitic religions are lies. We spit on them.

...intellectual?... Really??

Why not join in here and introduce your unique flavour of intellectual spritualism to our community personally... instead of leaving a smelly turd on the doorstep and running off.



When one sleeps on the floor one need not worry about falling out of bed - Anton LaVey

The universe is a cold, uncaring void. The key to happiness isn't a search for meaning, it's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually you'll be dead!

Too bad I'm not an intellectual. Got any cat videos? I'll watch those.
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Oh, Tank. You always know how to keep this elitist, high-brow community intellectually satisfied.  ;D

I'm deeply suspicious of anyone who thinks they have started a "new wave of thought."  Some people geniunely do create a new wave of thought I guess.  Like the people that thought to put ketchup in a squeeze bottle; that was smart and new.   But for the most part, I suspect that most thoughts that people think aren't really all that new to the universe, more like just new to that person.

Hmm I see that nice "Donate" button at the bottom there...

On the whole, looks like a poor business proposition.

I'm more impressed by the person who saw milk squirting out of a cow's udder and said "Hmmm, how about I drink that?" Now that's a new wave of thought.
