Atheism has it's merits I admit, but Rationalism?
Rationalism is a crutch for weak minded people who are too big a punch of cowards to create their own reality and hence, they lazily submit to a reality that has been made for them instead of having the courage and making the effort to forge a reality of their own. Do enjoy waddling in your own emptiness and meaningless quest for meaning in a world that you simply accept, much like a pig waddles in it's own filth.
You mindlessly accept and never question the Dogma of the Scientific method, empirical evidence and all other forms of Rationalists BS and never look within, to the Heart.
Laughable, utterly laughable and pathetic.....and no,I am not attacking your Atheism, I am simply attacking your Rationalism and the fundamentalists viewpoint you obviously carry that Rationalism works best for EVERYBODY when perhaps it only works best for YOU. You seem to want to impose your own philosophy on the world and expect everyone else to conform with Logic, Reason, and a whole host of other nonsensical anti-human buzz words.

Wow. Is it my imagination, or have the stupid gotten more brazen the past few days?
Seriously. People who accept reality are just being too lazy and cowardly to create their own version? Empirical evidence, logic and reason are now considered nonsensical buzz words?
Is this a new phenomenon? Or have they always seen the world like this, and are now just coming out and admitting it?

Hi there dumbass. Ya wanna know why i called you that? You just shot yourself in the foot. You realise you just said your reality is made up, correct?
1.Dogma
2.Scientific Method
Pick one.
You do realize that pigs don't "waddle in their own filth," right?
They are remarkably fastidious creatures, they're just also unfortunate enough to be unable to sweat - hence, they bathe in MUD (see: soil + water) to shed excess body heat.
Kinda undermines that whole analogy doesn't it.
May not be a Poe. There are a number of documented instances, mainly from the early to middle years of the Bush administration, of right-wingers using the phrase 'reality-based community' as a term of derision for liberal critics. Meaning that the liberals didn't have the guts and vision to create their own reality. It's why there was a double sting to Stephen Colbert's quip about how, unfortunately, 'reality has a liberal bias'. And yes, the people who espoused this viewpoint tended to be either right-wing evangelicals or libertarians.
You can't create a new reality. There is no dogma in the scientific method. It's the religion that reeks of it, by definition. Science doesn't appeal to the emotions, that's the point; it's just the facts. It's not supposed to be a comfort, and it's not a belief system.
I thought science was created to argue against dogma?
Wait sorry, thats too rational.

"a Punch of Cowards" - I'll add that to my list of collective nouns, like a herd of turtles, a murder of crows, etc.
@ Theadosia
Bob Herbert quotes one of the most chilling passages from the Ron Suskind NY Times article where he talks with a White House aide...
...According to Mr. Suskind, "The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' " The aide told Mr. Suskind, "That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act we create our own reality."
Got that? We may think there are real-world consequences to the policies of the president, real pain and real grief for real people. But to the White House, that kind of thinking is passé. The White House doesn't even recognize that kind of reality.
Wouldn't want to be sensible and think things through. All those traits you're against are the base of a thinking, well-rounded and healthy mind.
In other words, the nonsense is entirely in your camp
I would LOVE to make my own reality. If I did, Micheal Jackson and Freddie Mercury would be on tour, it would rain root beer and apple crullers, I'd be happily married to both Winona Ryder and Kathleen Turner Circa 1986, and Sean Hannity would be pumping gas for a living.
Too bad I have to live in, you know, ACTUAL reality. With asshats like you hammering away at keyboards until your stupidity is digitally etched onto the information superhighway, infecting the net like some strain of retarded syphilis.
I've met this type of attitude in person before. I have a very hard time resisting the urge to hit them very hard over and over again, while shouting, "This is reality you dumbass!!!" It just strikes me as the most immediate method of communicating the concept of objective reality.
Yes, now I will activate the Reality Bomb! People and planets and stars will become dust. And the dust will become atoms and the atoms will become... nothing. And the wavelength will continue, breaking through the rift at the heart of the Medusa Cascade into every dimension, every parallel, every single corner of creation. *This* is my ultimate victory, victorianpunk! The destruction of reality *itself*!
"Dogma of the Scientific method"
I'm usually not for cruel and unusual punishment, but I think the first time a person uses this phrase, they should be hit in the knee with a rubber bullet.
"instead of having the courage and making the effort to forge a reality of their own."
If you want to make a 'Tulpa', /mlp/ is that way ----->
...oh, and the heart is just a blood pump. Nothing more. Unless you read "Blech" too much, amd have only now realised that you've been trolled by Kubo:

NEXT!
("Blech"? Please. Another "NeverEnding Story" like "One Piss" that has degenerated into "DBZ" with swords. At least "Venus Versus Virus" has guns , "Omamori Himari" has a Samurai catgirl & a Suigintou clone, and "Zombie Loan" is by Peach-Pit, creators of "Rozen Maiden"; need I say more? Troll Kubo by not reading his shit)

What color is the sky in your world, victoria?
So, you prefer irrationalism?
"You seem to want to impose your own philosophy on the world and expect everyone else to conform"
Sorry, no; it's religion doing that.
We have the fossils. We win.
'What's true, is true for you '
-L. Ron Hubbard, Founder of $cientology
...was he rational? Is $cientology a religion...?! [/IRS]
"You seem to want to impose your own philosophy on the world and expect everyone else to conform with Logic, Reason, and a whole host of other nonsensical anti-human buzz words."
Me? Oh no, no, no monsieur, it`s merely the realitee which is doing that, I`m afraid...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
