This is from the link in my last entry, but... not everyone may read to the bottom. So, here. ^^;

 

"Even if religion is not entirely true, at least it puts across important messages. What are the fundamental messages of atheism?"

There are many important ideas atheists promote. The following are just a few of them; don't be surprised to see ideas which are also present in some religions.

• There is more to moral behavior than mindlessly following rules.
• Be especially sceptical of positive claims.
• If you want your life to have some sort of meaning, it's up to you to find it.
• Search for what is true, even if it makes you uncomfortable.
• Make the most of your life, as it's probably the only one you'll have.
• It's no good relying on some external power to change you; you must change yourself.
• Just because something's popular doesn't mean it's good.
• If you must assume something, assume something easy to test.
• Don't believe things just because you want them to be true.

and finally (and most importantly):

• All beliefs should be open to question.

 

I feel like I'm quoting from some atheist bible or something. oO;

On a side note... anyone want to make an icon for the community?
