What Is Atheism

Atheism is, etymologically speaking, a completely rational term. Atheism is to theism what apolitical is to politics. The terms mean not interested in or a part of theism or politics. Atheism is the antithesis of theism.

Rationally atheism is understandable. It isn't easy to wrap one's mind around the creator, Jehovah God. Such a belief requires faith.

By definition atheism is nonsensical. A god can be anyone or anything. Natural, supernatural, person, place or thing, wood, stone, flesh and bone. Even, as Paul said, ones own belly can be a god. There are countless gods. It doesn't require belief, veneration or worship on your part. I don't believe in Zeus; I don't believe he ever existed; I don't venerate or worship Zeus, and yet Zeus is a god.

The definition of atheism as disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. That's nonsensical.

Ah! A meme and an emoji from the critical and free thinkers! Critical of and free from thought.

@Doomflower Interesting meme. The corona virus is a respiratory virus about 0.125 microns in size. It's submicroscopic. You can't see it with a microscope. The best mask you can buy only blocks 95% of airborne particles no smaller than 0.3 microns, so saying a mask prevents any transmission of a respiratory virus is like saying you can stop a mosquito with a chain link fence.

But it is right in that sin isn't transmissible.

Viral particles are transported mainly by aerosolized droplets, which are what the masks are designed to intercept, thereby greatly reducing the amount that one might otherwise be exposed.

I’ll take a relative 83% effectiveness at reduction in likelihood of infection over not masking @AkioTsukino
@AbbySvenz Respiratory pathogens like the corona virus aren't transmitted by aerosolized droplets. Their vector is aerosol but they are so small that droplets spread through sneezing, coughing, spitting trap the fine aerosol particles from being breathed. So a surface, your hands, or anything else can be covered in aerosolized droplets and you virtually can't get the virus. The aerosol mist that you breath can penetrate masks. Even droplets do that. You can see videos online where someone wearing a mask sneezes and the droplets go right through it. Just like the image above. That isn't even taking into consideration that the virus easily goes in through the gaps on the side, top and bottom.

Scientific studies have been done and published regarding the ineffectiveness of masks, even in the clean surgical settings. Masks are an archaic relic of the miasmatic school of medicine where contaminants were thought to be miasmas. Bad air. The image below is what the first masks looked like. In the large beak the wearer would place fragrant herbs and spices that were alleged to ward off "bad miasmas."


There are NO randomized, controlled trials (RCT) with verified outcomes that show a benefit to healthcare workers or community members for wearing a mask or a respirator. There is no such definitive study. Likewise, no study exists that shows a benefit from a broad policy to wear masks in public (documented below).

@AkioTsukino wow, so ... Do you also think earth is flat?
@Doomflower No I do not. Do you think your science is up to date on masks? Look at the link. Lots of science there. Thing about science, though, is that it can be corrupted just like guess what? RELIGION! Yes!

Same!
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@AkioTsukino lol yeah so I was just thinking about this and do you really think modern medicine would ignore scientific data that would save them tons of money? Sorry, but if you have all this data that shows masks are useless at best why are you going on about it online and not presenting your findings to the CDC?

I also find it hilarious that you believe in a god but not in the efficacy of medical PPE.

The mosquito in question is wrapped in a blob of sticky stuff bigger than the gaps in the chain link fence.
@ninalanyon What always fascinates me about science minded fundamentalist military atheists is that when it comes to the science of evolution they froth at the mouth, but when it comes to the science of fake pandemics and masks, they are bobble heads taken in by fake science just like all the others.

Here's the science they said they were following. They weren't.

But that isn't why we wear masks anyway. We wear masks in order to reduce the risk to [i]other [/i]people.

@AkioTsukino Repeating yourself doesn't make you sound more convincing.
@ninalanyon Masks aren't protecting anyone. They are harmful. You're not wearing them to protect anyone, your wearing them because it creates the illusion of being kept safe by the people who sell you addictive, carcinogenic, petrol based pharmaceuticals. It reminds you of not only who you need to think is keeping you safe and thus ultimately in control. Beware! Be afraid! Be very afraid. The bogeyman is gonna' getcha'! We'll protect you! Take this.

I'm 55 years old. I have heart disease, kidney disease, I'm clinically obese, borderline diabetic and I'm a smoker. I caught the Covid from my dad who was fully vaccinated and wore a mask like his life depended upon it. He got it from the hospital staff who were also fully vaccinated and forced to wear what they knew were harmful masks. It was like almost getting a mild chest cold. If the media hadn't hyped it and the hospitals and pharmaceutical companies couldn't make trillions of dollars from it while virtually destroying small businesses, the competition in corporate America, you wouldn't know Covid existed.

Corona viruses have been around as long as man if not longer. There are 4 strains of the corona virus that are common colds. That means roughly 70% of the global population had natural immunity. You ever hear of memory cells, science boy? The T and B cells.

Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease, which is a department of the National Institutes of Health, funded a 2018-2019 study for treatment of Ebola virus in Africa. It used Remdesivir along with three other therapeutics.

Remdesivir had the highest mortality rate (53.1%) of all the drugs used in the trial. It was removed from the trial after 28 days. Remdesivir causes acute kidney failure.

New England Journal of Medicine, December 12, 2019

Hospitals get 20% bonus (total $ 3200) for prescribing lethal Remdesivir compared to the safe inexpensive alternative Ivermectin only pays them $125.

So the medical establishment, hospitals in the USA, are being payed off to prescribe Remdesivir, which isn't effective or safe, instead of prescribing the inexpensive effective treatment. Ivermectin is approved.

@AkioTsukino If Ivermectin is so good why isn't Merck promoting it?
