There seems to be an almost tangible difference in how theists and atheist see the world.Rykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424545934239146403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8134425139563359175.post-45496611418804518342009-06-23T21:49:32.093-07:002009-06-23T21:49:32.093-07:00A wonderfully eloquent post, Ryk. I've recent...A wonderfully eloquent post, Ryk. I've recently been ruminating on similar thoughts, namely the fundamental impasse between humanist/naturist types like us and believers. We who drink in the vast, incomprehensible wonder of the universe find it such heady brew that we cannot imagine the need to adulterate it with the synthetic flavor of theism. We inevitably pity the faithful for their inability to achieve this level of pure appreciation without superimposing god over everything. <br /><br />The believers are almost a mirror image of this--imagining angels whispering over every blade of grass and an omniscient, benevolent creator who monitors all matter and thought. They see the handiwork of god in every vista, sunset, or starry night, and, as such, they shake their heads piteously in lament over the blindness of the atheist/materialist worldview.Jen Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649608516033333898noreply@blogger.com
