OUR ATHEIST HOPE
What is an atheist? Actions speak louder than words one way but another way they
do not. Words are actions. Human beings are more about acting until we think
what we act is true rather than the other way round. Atheism is more about
sensing and acting that there is no God than believing that there is no God.
An atheist is the person who realises that nobody outside of her or him can
change her or him at all. Change comes solely from what you are. The atheist is
atheism in action which means the proper atheist will grow and help others to
grow. The true atheist knows there is no God so she or he will be God to the
outcasts and the poor first and foremost.
Principles are not about the person. It is still wrong to kill even if there is
nobody to kill. But principles benefit the person and if they are tough they
make a person strong. Do you really want a universe where everything is about
you and not principle for the reality is that you cannot have everything all
your own way? No. Let us reword. Do you really want a universe where everything
is about you embody principle and make it part of you so that you become
principle in action? Yes. That is the atheist message.
You must know that best and worst are objective values.
You must want to know them.
You must want to do the best.
Our hope is to bring a simple method of fulfilment to all people so that they
will be able to be revitalised through the experience of enlightenment without
the need for authoritarian dogmatism, superstition, prayer and religion. These
pages show you how you can love yourself so much that you will work eagerly for
the happiness and healing of others. The book contains the essential truths for
creating a healthy atheist society. Dogma is carefully avoided. This work relays
methods based on facts. Facts unite all perceptive, reasonable and mature
people. They matter more than beliefs and opinions which though often necessary,
often serve to cause disputes and confusion.
If you are in terrible circumstances and not much help if any comes from heaven
that you are still better off with the hope.
Perhaps this page may seem boring, on the occasions when it seems to be stating
the obvious and bland. But what is obvious is not enough – it needs to be
remembered when it helps us live lives of rational faith. Yet if we forget its
core principles in the vicissitudes of life we will suffer. It is important to
have them in one source, this book and to read it frequently to joyfully
reinforce the power of the truth.
It’s all down to you!
Whatever happens in your life is not always down to you. But what is down to you
is how you use whatever happens. And that is down to you entirely. You aim for
your goals and you take them when you achieve them and that is all your work -
nobody else’s at all not even a God’s. Deciding to act is more doing than how
you use your body to physically do it.
Worship good not God!
If love is real and the universe makes it then the universe is better than God.
Chance and blind forces making love is better than a God making it for then it
is less understandable.
Atheists who simply sense the absence of God avoid the burden of proof and it is
up to believers to show. Sensing is the essential and most important part of
atheism. The atheist needs to be affirmed as a person or having this sense for
it is very much about what he or she is as a person.
Actions can be evil but that does not mean that the people committing the
actions are evil for they cannot intend it to be completely bad. They are doing
good misguidedly.
People think that forgiving is wiping the state clean and then everybody gets
along as if the bad deed never took place. But forgiving is more like something
that gets better over time and sometimes never completely heals. God is
basically an attempt to sell fast mercy. He forgives just like that!
Never make a promise you cannot follow through to others or to yourself. The
more you lie and the more you fail to keep promises, the more you affirm that
trust may be a mistake. The more harm you do yourself.
Do unto others what you would like them to do unto you is nonsense. Do what you
think and feel that the other person wants you to do. Everybody is so different.
Never see anything as completely bad because it isn't!
Fall in love with life. When you fall in love, you love with what the beloved is
warts and all. You don't fall in love with what you think this person should be.
That is not falling in love with the person. Love for life drives hope.
It drives all.
