"I've never had an athiest come knocking at my door wanting to ram his ideolgy down my throat....."
perhaps look a bit deeper?
just recently i got some unsolicited mail, a catalogue, despite having a negating sign on the letter box. the person will may come around and ask for it to be returned. it is in the bottom of the rubbish bin. prior to that an adult (with child) came to the front door, requesting funds for the child's sports trip overseas. told them that i didn't have any cash (how about i find out their address knock on their door and request the use of their car, because mine is out of petrol?) what about emails that arrive marketing penis enlargement? i get requests from the bank to increase my credit limit. requests to pay bills. then there is: carbon tax gst laws that you consider ridiculous or that do not apply to you crooked lawyers, judges, politicians, banksters, police, doctors, drug pushers, etc all keen to impose their ideolgy on you. it goes on and on and on.
this is all ideology many people to varying degrees serve the "so called" god (whatever concept they have of it or non-it) on the back of the US dollar bill.
log on to hotcopper or most other websites and you will probably be confronted with advertising you are basically forced to look at it, if you can't block it somehow.
i'm not interested whether these people that peddle these idologies consider themselves to be theists atheists or whatever else. that is essentially irrelevant.
someone here a while back recommened watching some videos of a woman conducting, what she called, self inquirey, with others. one video was concerning prejudice, and it showed very well how baseless such formations are.
just looked up the definition of prejudice: A partiality that prevents objective consideration of an issue or situation.
if someone considers themslves, for example, to be a moslem, a scientologist, a pastafarian or a rapist, and i'm trapped in a car wreck and they are about to put their life on the line help me, what is the point of forming an opinion about their character or integrity based on some bias that we have about them based on who we think they are.
there is only 3 important things what you have done what you are doing and the state of your mind
it is more important what we do, than what we think others should be doing.
what is the benifit of filling the mind up with such things?
