    Hi friends

    I don't agree with dutchman1951 .

    The Atheists Agnostics are equally brainwashed as are the religionists; being humans all are equally susceptible to such tendencies. Who has given the Atheists Agnostics the certificate that they are open minded and the religionists are not. There is no general rule in this respect; everybody has to make a conscious effort to be open minded; when the
    Atheists Agnostics resort to ridicule others and use foul language, one knows for sure that they are now victim of this “narrowness” disease; and hub-pages provide enough proof for that; you may agree or may not agree on this.

    Thanks

      most atheist and agnostic have passed through phase-1 of being brain washed by religion and then come to phase-2..so atleast they understand how religion works on human brains and how it narrows down human thinking to single species and more specifically to one community and one book..my way stuffs which is manifestation of identity..religion is not bad thing though...it has really worked from humans and has carried forward human race ...it has helped in establishing social system and moral codes ...but now time of religion's my way only way is up...in today's globalized world when we are more awared , such claims are outdated...i personally dont have problem with religion as long as it keeps itself confined to personal zone...live and let live...yes i do have problem with religious people who turn themselves judges and declare who would go where?..if those people believe in god , why they themself become god and pass judgement?..ego?..lack of self belief..dont know...religion still has it role and can play positive part instead of power struggles which we see today or controlling people stuff...

            Everyone is born atheist. Your religion is something you were taught. No one's first words are praise allah or god. Do you actually believe that when you are born you believe in a higher power? if it were true that people are born religious and it is not a lerned process, we would have an equal didtribution of religious beliefs in every country. It seems a little odd that when you are born you appear to be born with the belief system your family or caretakers have. I being an atheist am the only one capable of being born again. I was born atheist as is everyone, tried to buy into the religion being forced down my throat, left religion for good and became a born again atheist. I would agree with the statement that atheists and agnostics are more open minded. We have thrown off the yoke that presupposes an outcome to life that can actually be altered by speaking to a god of one's own choosing. How can a Christian be open minded when the have a handy dandy book of answers to every question. I am unfamiliar with the Koran and can only assume it is similar in make up to the Bible considering it was written by the same primative, superstitious people. It is in fact being open minded when one looks beyond the accepted dogma and begins to consider other options. One does not become open minded by closing their mind to all other possible theories and ideas. It is not open mindedness that forces Christians to swear that the 6000 year old planet contains fossils that are millions of years old. It is not open mindedness that forces Christians to dismiss all evidence concerning the age of the planet or any of the dicrepancies in a book based on a few goat herders blogs from 2000 years ago.Does the original Koran still exist? The original copy of the Bible has been lost forever. This means that christians are placing all this faith in a book that might have had a last page that stated...This is work of fiction meant for the enjoyment of the reader. Please do not attempt to use this book as a guide for running the world as all hell will break loose and the idiots will start killing each other to prove killing each other is wrong.

        Non-belief in something that is ever-present, is equally or more bad; especially when there are no positive arguments to deny it. It is, in my opinion, close to brainwashing or more than that; realizing the truth is more like reality. It would be like a blind person denying Sun in the sky; insisting that he would believe the sun if he ever sees it.

        The religionists and the irreligionists are equally prone to mistakes and blunders. Is it not a fact?

      paarsurrey, Hello and greeting from an atheist.

      I disagree with you that atheists are brain washed. The journey to atheism is a solitary one that is difficult for some to take. By opening a mind that was previously closed by religion, to all other possible explanations for every thing that has previously happened on this planet, the atheist seeks to leave behind the closed mindedness of his or her religious upbringing.

      Refusal to consider a different possiblility than the one that has been preached to you since birth, is not an example of open mindedness, by any definition of the word. Not all atheists resort to name calling or insulting behavior and to state otherwise is being a little judmental isn't it?
      I also don't see how a persons use of the entire language makes them a close minded person. That this might be language you disapprove of, it's use does not give evidence of the user being closed minded. Insensitive and rude behaivior perhaps, but not close minded.

      Foul language has nothing to do with this arguement and is simply listed here in an effort to garner support from those who already agree with you. You are simply giving them another opurtunity to shake their heads in agreement while offering nothing that supports your arguement. Peace my friend and I say that as open mindedly as possible.

      I am a peaceful atheist and it's a pleasure to meet you.

    My parents took me to church.  They believed.  Their parents believed.  When I heard the stories  they told in church, I thought everyone was insane.  It was obvious that none of this could possibly be true.

        Einstein was brainwashed by Satan? You are assuming that Einstein was without religious belief. Just because he was a great scientist and researcher doesn't mean he wasn't religious. In fact there are quite a few Jews and Christians that have their belief in God but also see the value in science.

                when your premise starts with firm believe that god exist..how can you call yourself open?..if you or your religion claims to be open..it must start with whether god exist or doesnot exist..then there should be points for both which  can be evaluated and debated...suppose then conclusion comes that god does exist...then comes if god exist...does he intefere in system or did he creat auto system..then again points on both for evaluation and so on...

                  I don't agree with you. The fact/truth/reality has to be firm; nevertheless it is open. It is not a confusion or doubtful point; so it has to be like that. The next chapter of Quran mentions this point :

                  [2:3] This is a perfect Book; there is no doubt in it; it is a guidance for the righteous,

                  http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … r.php?ch=2

                  When it is a reality/fact or Truth; why should it waver? Don’t you think fact/reality/Truth are “Open”?

                  When there is a perfect book like Quran; why should it take the standpoint of being an imperfect one?

                    truth is different and claims of something being true is different...claims have to be debated with possibility that it can be false or true..premise should be quran was written some thousands of years ago..now let us see whether it is true or false..then one needs to evaluate every line test with science and other knowledge and then come to conclusion...quran is claim..same like gita or veda or torah or bible...just because some mortal said something thousand of years ago and his group believed him..does it make that true..but if what he says is as per what scientifically is proven by testing it physically then it is true..gravitational doesnot exist because newton said so and some bunch of people believed him..it exist because we can see its effects physically...quran or bible doesnot become truth because you says so , neither it becomes false because i say so..it has to pass through scientific test ..till then it is debatable...

                    That is the problem with every theist. They assume god exist and keep on believing in stories written in scriptures. Believing in stories without empirical evidence isn't open mind. But as you said they're firm on their religious belief and not ready to accept empirical evidence.

                    Refuting facts with examples like can you see the wind, who created you,who created this lovely uniuerse, who put water in coconut,who made arch-angel micheal to protect you, who made yankees lose in final match etc. is like living in denial.

    What is atheism agnosticism? If someone states there is no god or creator, they are atheist. If they state they don't know, they are agnostic. If they state there is a god or creator, they are religious. I agree that atheists and religious are close minded for deciding on faith without evidence to believe one way or the other.

    Contradictions in Quran



    Contradiction is in the quotes. Dust or clay ? Or both ? oh wait there is water as well. Clay, sounding clay, dust or water - what is in accordance with the Quran? The Quran seems to be pretty vague. There actually are some scientists that believe that short RNA molecules could have formed within clay. They doesn't say if it was "sounding clay" or just ordinary clay. And they do not suggest that clay in any way was an ingredient - it was more like a good environment. But there are many other interesting theories too. Here's the short version of how science look at the Origin of Life:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_life

    Elements in the human body? Well, the Quran suggests clay, sounding clay, water and dust depending on which verse you choose to read. Here's a list of the most common elements in our bodies:
    -Oxygen (65%)
    -Carbon (18%)
    -Hydrogen (10%)
    -Nitrogen (3%)
    -Calcium (1.5%)
    -Phosphorus (1.0%)
    -Potassium (0.35%)
    -Sulfur (0.25%)
    -Sodium (0.15%)
    Notice that clay, sounding clay and dust were not there - so the Quran had four guesses and was only partially right - that is if you have a forgiving nature. There's a lot of water in the human body, but water is not classified as an element anymore. That was a long time ago.

      Quran has not claimed to be a text book of Science; it is for the guidance of humans in the ethical, moral and spiritual realms. Quran uses all parts of speech to convey its teachings.

      Making from clay is that humans could be molded, by nature, into different forms; that is man is adaptable, evolutionary and progressive. Man could be virtuous like angels, if man does good acts or evil like Satan, if he does bad deeds. This way man is made of clay.

      Quran is for guidance of the humans; it is mentioned in the very beginning of the Quran:

      [2:3] This is a perfect Book; there is no doubt in it; it is a guidance for the righteous,
      [2:4] Who believe in the unseen and observe Prayer, and spend out of what We have provided for them;
      [2:5] And who believe in that which has been revealed to thee, and that which was revealed before thee, and they have firm faith in what is yet to come.

      [2:6] It is they who follow the guidance of their Lord and it is they who shall prosper.

       Everyone is born atheist. Your religion is something you were taught. No one's first words are praise allah or god. Do you actually believe that when you are born you believe in a higher power?
    ========================
      I wish that you could see how that sounds.  At the time of your birth the air that you breathed was a higher power than you.  The source of your nutrition was a higher power than yourself,

       It is society and environment that teaches you all things.
       You were born with needs  that you could not fulfill.
    You knew this.  When you were born your Moms tit was as a god to you.   Then you learned to substitute other things for her tit. 

      We were born with needs that we could not fulfill on our own.
      We die in that same condition whether you know it or not,

      We complicate matters when we begin to think in the abstract.

      Anyone can be brainwashed. A non-belief however can't really be showing signs of such a thing.brainwashing. A belief based on fact that can be examined and proved over and over again is hardly brainwashing. As for agnostics, the great fence sitters, since they haven't made up their minds they can't possibly be considered brainwashed until they do.
