You’re implying that atheists hold certain believes which is incorrect. Unlike theism you don’t need to believe any certain dogma. None of your points are about a belief in a god which is about the only thing an atheist doesn’t believe in.

I think there is much to be learned from science, philosophy and religion but do not subscribe to one type of thinking and think of consciousness in a philosophical way but I am definitely not a theist. If anything I am an atheist if it needs to be labeled.

Theism is not incompatible with science, though granted it has been portrayed as such.

Not saying it is but to be a theist you have a more structured believe system where as in atheism there is none.

It is structured by its denial of the most obvious truth of all, that you are it (tat tvam asi).

The ignorant man knows all the wise man knows he doesn’t know all.

I don’t like the arrogance of this type of theism. It’s bothersome to me, I’d rather not participate. Have fun with your god.

God be with you.

The ALL is mind the universe is mental.

yeah exactly.

nothing hes saying has anything to do with atheism.

Bitcoin: don’t trust verify

Theism: trust us we know god (our specific definition) is the only truth!

As if "all phenomena is one happening" means is theist 🙄

hes just playing around with definitions of things.

You can verify the existence of God yourself by looking inward. No trust needed.

Define god? There is part of the whole problem of these debates most ppl don’t even have the same definition of “god”. Each religion has their own god or gods so which god are you referring to?

he wont.

most people don't call what he's talking about "God."

but hes gotta be part of the maxi crowd and they're all "theist"

its a tough tightrope to walk 👀

You are also implying I’ve never looked inward? 😂 again with this arrogance.

Imagine if we verified block “by looking inward”

He's not wrong.

Just nobody usually calls it "God"

Not even a hammy Zen performance artist like Watts

Which is interesting in itself because Buddhism is one of the only religions without a god making it arguably atheist.

Alan is a Zen interpreter for normies.

and this dude is interpreting Alan.

so it's a game of telephone thats got nothing to do with Buddhism lol

Fair point.

I’m a fan of hermetic philosophy myself specifically the Kybalion. Those principles resonate with me.
