Yes, Atheists can come across as quite disrespectful, but then... what group dosn't?
"A notion not easily amalgamated with the concept of atheism."
True.
I denie the paranormal as a word. Out of stories... ofcourse. The paranormal implies that it is unexplainable, nothing is unexplainable.
"What you really mean is that you believe that paranormal things might exist but if they do then we do not yet understand them. In time though, we probably will understand the currently unexplained through the development of science."
Sorry, I sometimes make little sense. But yes...
"And like I already said, scientific facts are just waiting to be prooved wrong so why shackle your mind to them"
And like I already said, Because its the best we have so far. Scientific method, will in time (and it's only the matter of time) explain everything. Help us better understand, everything. Like I said, we just have to know how. Besides, it's not like none of it has been helpful for the further development/ better understanding of the human race and such...
"I'd much rather fleetingly embrace many a fantastical concept than have my imagination and theoretical creativity bound by the limits of science."
Bound? I don't realy understand... With explination of how things work and understanding what it would take for things to work, if anything... expands the creativity. Imagination should NOT be bound by science! Only real world desision makeing and planing. Letting your imagination follow only the rules of scientific method, will make you a very dull person... probly a terrible theoretical thinker too... The idea of the human imagination being limited, aggrivates me... I could moan about it all day (without making a lick of sense, arguing with myself), so I'll just move on.
"Many would think my head is in the clouds with that kind of attitude but let me assure you that my feet are firmly on the ground and my concept of reality is not in any way forfieted."
From thinknig in an imaginative way? People could say your head was in the clouds... But it wouldn't make your opinions and theorys any less of an opinion and/or a theory. Reality is what one perceives it to be. Nothing more, nothing less...
Is it normal for atheists to always act so conceited?
