Keep a Pen

I believe it's again time to revive this.

Now, About ATHEISM.

I have been joining atheist groups in Facebook for a couple of weeks now. In actuality, I'm not an Atheist or nowhere near it; I'm just observing them and see how their arguments play. So far, I am not quite happy about their plausible, or if I really must call them, arguments. They all throw this stuff against the Roman Catholic Church. ONLY TO THE RCC. What they are throwing are all crappy and absurdity.

For now, I will speak about them. I am not generalizing the whole Atheist group but only the individuals I have seen in Facebook. We have the calamity coming- the tsunami from Japan. They are all whining how people in facebook are asking fo God's help and prayers. Yes, they may think that it is absurd- how we call for help, for them, from an imaginary being. But if I will be given a chance to ask them, I will raise the point of alternatives. What should we do, if we do not ask for help? What can we do? Go to the coastal areas and save all the people? Go to Japan and give them relief goods? I mean, we are in a situation where we are just waiting for the calamity to happen. Nobody can stop it. And they present no alternative for they do not have a so-called imaginary and all-powerful being to ask help for. At least for theist, they have Someone to ask help for. Not only that, it gives them that hope and light that there is an omnipotent God that will take care of them.  Furthermore, it keeps the people from sinking into despair. With that hope, they are able to act because they know that WE will be safe at the end of the day. And what is it for the Atheist? Die in despair.

Religion has existed for a reason. Not only because of Morality but also of practical reasons. Religion, even in the sociological perspective, plays an important role in a micro and macro levels of society.

And so, I believe that Theism is still better than Atheism.
