Episode 168: Atheism Is The Craziest Religion Of All

Atheists will tell you that there is 100% definitely no God and that to think otherwise is insane. This is a religious leap of faith, as they have no evidence for their claim; no atheist has died and witnessed (somehow) the lack of any survival of a soul or existence of an afterlife, and so they simply lack the scinetific empirical evidence required to be able to back up their claim that we can be certain there is no God. Actually, it is just their feeling, their intuition as to what makes sense. And that's okay, they can have their assumptions/instincts, but they should know the difference between this and evidence or logical proof. Ironically, not only do atheists do what all religions do and make a leap of faith, assuming a belief without empirical evidence, but in fact they embody the greatest blind faith in that they do not even realise that they are dealing in faith, such is their absorption in their worldview and its assumptions. To make matters worse, they are not even rewarded for such religious faith with grandiose pleasant illusions and in many if not most cases it seems atheism engenders nihilism and an abyss within the heart where one ceases to believe in meaning, love, happiness or even perhaps in objective truth – it's all an elaborate accident of physical particles spinning around endlessly and pointlessly, caring nothing for human intuitions as to nobility, soulfulness or purpose. Sure, there are many atheists who are great people, balanced and grounded; but even they should acknowledge they're in a religion. Much wiser I would feel is to call oneself an agnostic – to say, 'I don't know; it's all possible'. And from there, perhaps with some meditation and perhaps some psychedelic medicine, one may experience direct connection to the divine and grow from there. Perhaps one may end up a Christian, or a Buddhist, or stay agnostic. If one is to make assumptions about the universe, we might at least wish to make ones which uplift us and those around us to a life of beauty and love.
