My qualms with atheism.
I am not defending religion. I think organized religion is a big crockpot of goofiness. I'm not protecting rotten values, I'm protecting the possibility that you could be as wrong as we both know they are.
They are a crutch, they are put here to comfort our sense of individuality with the belief in the afterlife.
Religion and theism are different on many levels, you as an informed atheist should know this.
While not allowing your brain to be opiated by the comfort of theism, you are allowing your brain to be opiated by the feeling of knowing, which also causes comfort.
The problem with athism is they can't accept the unknown anymore then christians can, and thus they claim knowledge that is unobtainable by any means from here.
Do you believe in infinity? If so, as a freethinker, try pondering the limitless possibilities it entails. If not, well, don't. But with mathematics we can see that infinity does indeed exist, whether it applies to our universe or not, we may never know.
