Having consorted
on this topic with a number of people recently, including clashes with atheists
of one kind or another, it is obvious to me we are using isms and ideologies
incorrectly. We are using them as a be and end all, or, an ultimate state of
thinking that should suite everyone. Personally, I don't know of any ism or
ideology that would suite every, thankfully, on a collective scale, we are too
diverse, too unlimited in consciousness for that.
Why limit human
consciousness to one consort, one ideological view which dominates and limits
our consciousness to one ideological stance? For me, I couldn't imagine being
this limited, this encaged by a singular ideology. In saying this though,
diversity of consciousness also includes people being very content within their
own ideological stance.
In my own mind,
all isms and ideologies should be used as a guide, not a be and end
all, an ultimate state of being for all. I would not like to think that human
consciousness could ever reach this state of encaged consciousness, a
consciousness totally limited by its own conscious limitations. Diversity is
the key an ever evolving consciousness.
Having also
researched on this topic, I found the following quite interesting and very
truthful. It is wise to know that isms and ideologies can and do create bias
and even disdain, especially towards an opposing ism or ideology. Once
influenced by such isms and ideologies, especially dogmatically, truth becomes
a blur, truth basically becomes less truthful.
Extract: One of
my bigger regrets is publicly declaring myself an atheist.
Not because I’ve made a
recent conversion to faith—I’m still confident in my original
opinion. Rather, because I believe “-isms” are dangerous, whether it
is theism, atheism, vegetarianism, Buddhism or any other philosophy.
I do find the
rigid conscious limited stance of atheists that treat atheism, materialism and
science as a be an end, as an ultimate all powerful God like ideological ism,
are as bad if not worse within their religion than extremist religion. Again,
atheism, like any ideological ism, should be treated as guide, not some
ultimate all powerful God like entity because this is exactly what is
occurring.
I personally know
of a number of atheists, I was once an atheist myself, even my stepdaughter
confirms that she is an atheist, for every good reasons I might add. They are
not into extremist atheism, an ism that is being treated far more than just a
guide to life to think and live by.
The following will
show how some of these kinds of atheists think, to me, there is no logics to
the way they think and live. This is an
example of westernised atheism, not eastern atheism, there is a difference.

As I have stated before, not all experiences and
observations can be proven factually, it doesn't make them untrue to the
observer or experiencer. The materialist/atheist stance is, to me, too
rigid/dogmatic and illogical.
Everyone dreams including materialists, so if a dream can't be substantiated by hard core facts, the dream didn't occur. This would mean a materialist can't discuss their dreams void of solid evidence that they had an actual dream!! Strange logic's for a people who have a go at other people's logic's or lack of.
I do understand materialist/atheist ideological views, especially when limited to primary materialist perspectives.
I do however use a lot of actual experiences and observation, at times supported by scientific evidence. In a sense, I have a right to talk about my dreams void of physical evidence. How do you debate or even question a non-psychical occurrence void of actual evidence? It's totally illogical to even try but materialists do exactly this which shows how illogical they too can be!!

Fact and truth; I had a number of dreams last night.
Fact and truth; there is no knowable evidence of me having these dreams.
Fact and truth; I had these dreams even when the lack of evidence proves otherwise.
Fact and truth; the reliance on evidence to prove an occurrence occurred can often be flawed.
In my mind, we need to be more truthful with ourselves, evidence can be and is often flawed, this doesn't include actual tampering of evidence either!!

You have got to understand this stance of a
lot of westernised atheists. To acknowledge observation and actual experience
as evidence, would be to open themselves up to observation and actual
experiences from opposing ideologies as evidence as well. The deception here is
that atheists also rely on observation and actual experience as a prime source
of evidence at times as well.
If you label an opposing ideology
hypocritical, this deceptively takes the emphasis off their own hypocrisy, yes,
its fraudulent behaviour by a lot of westernised atheists of today. It's sad
that many atheists have turned atheism and science into yet another religion,
yet another be and end all ism/ideology!!
