Why doesn't atheism have a long standing successful civilization?

[Blake]

I am talking about something that you love to talk about by the amount of threads you post about atheism. You still cannot provide any evidence of the historical significance of atheism and proof that atheism is only way to lead humanity to advancement. Use your atheist intellect and figure it out, or is google not cooperating.

how many threads have I posted about atheism? Do you have a number or do you just feel persecuted?

Kool proves yet again he has never touched a woman.

yeah but it's been tough foraging for food and water without religion.

So you turn to the civilization that religion helped build for sustenance. Just like a baby would because you are incapable of surviving on atheism alone. Hmmm...

Ha! Stick to the logic..dont go off on tangents....seeing those beautiful women makes you question your belief system right? Granted you're not a sexual

the better question is why does every civilization built around religion eventually crumble?

Religion has nothing to do with god....two different concepts

Lol!!! Persecuted? Perhaps I am doing what any good believer does and am trying to save you from turning your own beliefs into an actual religion.

Again proof is in the pussy....why travel the universe when its staring you right in the face ?

Soviets crumbled after they adopted atheistic views. They fell HARD!

That's generous of you to spend time on me, good believer.

Please lay out what religion you are and why it's the best religion for our society and for mankind in general. Thanks.

Perhaps you should state why atheism is the best for our society and mankind in general. There is no proof that atheism is necessary in this world and is the only path to progress. Religion/Spirituality does seem to have a serious effect on advancement of society and technology. Where would mankind be if it weren't for that ultimate question? Isn't that what you atheists require? Proof? You fail to provide it.

Well since nobody can agree, or better yet, prove which religion is the truth, I think the prudent thing to do is to go with no religion. It makes no sense to randomly pick a religion for the sake of having a religion to lean on.

What ultimate question?

And you'll need to explain and show evidence of religion's positive effect on advancement of society and technology if you want a serious discussion here.

Every culture had their Gods, why?

Seeing all these women you will never touch has no effect on my belief system.

I love my history, but I have yet to find an ancient atheist civilization that is still successful by modern standards. Atheists are "smart" so one would think that they would be far more advanced than we whose progress was "hindered" by religion.

Maybe the city of Atlantis was atheist because they were said to be way ahead technologically. Then again, it is also said that they were descendants of Poseidon.

Argument by popularity.. that's always been the key to finding truth.

Never have understood this need to ignore your family, the history of it all, the country you live in to play this..."things are better if ya have nothing". What does one gain by going that route?

While I don't buy into the Christian Bible, there is no doubt something is behind all this and I know he/it/she/they are out there. To think this all just happened is ridiculous.

Some people need to imagine the puzzle to be solved by placing arbitrary pieces in places they really don't fit. That's often cognitive dissonance.

It's not best. Truth is often not best, depending on your goal. For example, telling a 3 year old that mom is a crack and he was taken from her because she tried to kill him is not the best for that child. It could be the truth, but truth isn't always the best thing for certain immature minds.

It's fine to ask questions (I don't consider creation to be the ultimate question btw) as long as you can handle the answers or lack thereof and not create your own reality. Religion has created its own reality, thousands of different ones in fact. If it makes you feel more comfortable to follow one of those then by all means you should. If you question things and can't bring yourself to worship a concept that doesn't make sense to you, then you'll be better served to address that. That's what atheism is, it's a lack of a god belief and admitting to it. Some of us haven't been convinced and don't feel compelled to go along for the ride just for social acceptance.
