Atheism

So, one of my friend in twitland gave a tweet lecture about what Atheism is. I read his tweets, a little bit curious about what will he say about Atheism. First, I didn't expect that I wil find any mistake in his definition about Atheism because I thought, he is smart enough to not say about thing he doesn't know clearly. But no, I was wrong.

He said that the Atheist is the people who don't obey or do the worship. Oh, really? He said, yes, it is his definition about the Atheist. I think, this definition isn't incorrect but it is misleading!

Because of the definition, he strongly said that there is many Atheist in Indonesia, specially Jakarta. Because there is many people said that they are Muslim but in the fact, they don't do the worship or many rules of Islam.

WTF, I said. His definition reduced the spirit about the thought of Atheism. Atheist, isn't an ignorant. People choose to be an Atheist just like you who have faith in God choose to believe Him. It's not as simple as if you don't obey the rules of a religion you said you are in, you are an Atheist.

I don't know what kind of book he read. But I think he hasn't read any legitimate books about Atheism. So, here I give you a link to my slideshare.net where you can download a small but very enlightening book about what Atheism is (click here). Happy reading, and always make sure you know exactly what you say to others so you won't mislead them :)
