THE TARSUS TURN http://tarsusturn.posterous.com Abre mis ojos posterous.com Wed, 19 Sep 2012 20:24:00 -0700 Opium of the Atheists http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/opium-of-the-atheists http://tarsusturn.posterous.com/opium-of-the-atheists

Atheists operate on the 'faith' that there is no God. This is an a priori assumption which can neither be proved, nor disproved. Theists have faith there is a God, whether poly- or mono-.

Atheists, a-theos, exist in opposition to God. They are defined by their prejudice and often, it is not intellectual, but sensual. Consider Aldous Huxley and the restraints Christianity would place on his sexual desires.

Faith is not bad. The point is that everyone operates on faith. Except perhaps agnostics, who say they are ignorant and undecided on questions of God.

Excellent article:
