My basic position on souls, chakras, and other mystical forces

If hyenas don't have them, we don't have them.

James Brown had soul.

That was in poor taste. It's too soon.

But you're too busy outing ACORN to put anybody down?

Nice non sequitur chimney.

I have to laugh when atheists are criticized by religious people for not believing in souls. Religious people can't even figure out among themselves what souls are supposed to be.

The soul is what gives a Christian his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.

I'm mentally massaging your third chakra right now.
It will rebalance your powers and reduce self-loathing.

In the meantime, hug yourself as tightly as possible, then puff your chest out as far as possible.
Twist and hold each direction. Repeat.

Oh God... I'm cumming...

No. Wait. It was just that hot dog.

Are you mocking me right now..... I have that weird feeling ( CALL IT A 6TH SENSE) that you are trying to mock me.

imbalance of the third chakra leads to poor digestion.
*puff your chest out as far as possible and hug yourself*....it's an order!

I just popped my upper back, and it feels good......

what is your position on chi?

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

what is your position on chi?

It means nothing. It describes certain feelings we have, certain collective Darwinian ideas about "self" -- but there is no actual "force" called chi. Use it to mentally focus your energies before killing a ninja, but it's not real.

Why should humans be bestowed with all this magical ability? We're animals. Like horses and radio DJs. If you can't imagine frogs having an afterlife or ESP why the fuck should you have it?

Apparently, all this mystical stuff developed right alongside language, walking upright and micro-mini skirts.
And then science came along and ruined everything.

With this being a DCL thread, I read it as mystical farces...

With this being a DCL thread, I read it as mystical faeces...

the human body is the crown of creation.

I laugh at atheists who are so fanatically certain that there is no such thing as a soul or an afterlife.

The only folks who know for sure are all dead, and they ain't talking.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Without a creator.

I'd argue in favor of sharks, cockroaches and super nova, but who am I to argue with Shakespeare?

"What a piece of work is..."

But we aren't saying there is no such thing as a soul or an afterlife. Atheists don't make any claims of any kind. We're only responding to a claim -- a specific claim. We're "atheists" -- "A" meaning "without". We are "without theism". There's nothing in the word that constitutes surety of any claim of our own. For that you have to speak to us as Humanists, Rationalists, Deists, etc.

Besides, this is the same point we make all the time. "We don't know. And you're not smarter than us, so clearly you don't know. So stop legislating our lives around things you aren't sure of and can't prove."

Thanks for being on our side. I'll send you the secret socks.
