An interview with the authors of the study

http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/18/the-story-behind-the-six-types-of-atheists-study/

Here is one question that jumped out at me, and underlines just how fucked up our country is


Why isn't there a category for "closet atheists"?
A: This is an excellent question. Many of our interviews were done in strict confidence where the participant’s own parents, spouses, or children had no idea they were participating in the study. One participant hid in the back of her closet because she did not want her parents to discover she is an atheist.

What if what you see is clouded by ignorance, misperceptions and false beliefs?

i don't see a god how is that clouded?

how did you get through the cloud of ignorance, Buddha?

What are you looking for?
What aren't you looking for?

Your name "god" is already a barrier to actually seeing a "god"

This is a start - and even "credentialed" "professionals" fail to understand this simple thing.

You want to apply conventional means to "see" something unconventional. How can your "clouded" vision ever allow you to see when you cannot ever admit it is clouded - and you cannot ever clear it if you won't even admit it is clouded.

Like looking out the window through a rainy day - and looking at the world and wanting to go out there and change the world - change and re-arrange those trees and mountains and blurry people out there -


whoa-


wait a sec....


Clean that window first - wipe that water off the window - BEFORE - going out to change the world. Make sure that window is squeaky clean BEFORE - going out to declare what you see or don't see is actually accurate.


This is just a simple and self-evident truth - but presidents of corporations, and acclaimed scientists and decorated and respected "successful" people have never been able to grasp this fundamental truth.

Just a start...

Where's the cuckold type?

#5

[silverblk mystix]

how did you get through the cloud of ignorance, Buddha?

Step #1 - I first understood that I was blind and that I had been programmed- notwithstanding your idiotic Buddha barb.

Most people won't ever admit step #1 - so - we are nowhere with most people.

[ChumpDumper]

Step #1 - Never accept life coaching from a rageaholic prison guard.

[CuckingFunt]

I don't think any of the atheist types describe me exactly, but #6 gets closest.

[mercos]

I could identify somewhat with each, except the disinterested one. I don't go out looking for debate, but I will challenge those that bring it up around me.

you've shown time and again that you're a horribly miserable person..........If your window is squeaky clean, there's no point in cleaning mine.

But the real truth is that you're really an ignorant dumbfuck that is talking directly out of his ass.

[AntiChrist]

I'm the dickheaded holier-than-thou douchebag variety (combination #1 & #2).

[gaKNOW!blee]

Confirming exactly what I just said about most people.

Blind people are hilarious.

[TeyshaBlue]

Damn. There's no "Hey, can we just go get a beer and talk about something else?" type of atheist.

Blind idiot telling me I'm blind.

Hilarious!
