Is Free Thinker an Atheist?

Posted by ChampDog | Sunday, November 14, 2010

While I was chatting with with a Christian friend, she asked me that what religion I”m. I basically told her that I do not have any religion, and I’m free thinker. Here you go the conversation between us:

Friend X: You’re then Atheist.
Me: Not exactly. I”m a free thinker.
Friend X: Do you believe in God?
Me: Yes, I do.  I think the answer is no based on your definition of God.
Friend X: Huh?
Me: Hmm… I think you can just say I don’t believe in God then.
Friend X: I see. So you’re an Atheist.
Me: Am I? Not exactly. I think I’m still a free thinker. :)



By definition, Atheist is someone who does NOT believe in God. Okay, this sounds pretty clear. But let’s look at the definition of free thinker which I found in dictionary (source: wordweb) which stated free thinker is:
  • A person who believes that God created the universe and then abandoned it.
  • Someone who does not hold many accepted opinions or beliefs.
Huh? I think these definitions of free thinker is “WRONG” or maybe I should say it is NOT completely “RIGHT”. I think a person who believes or NOT believe in God could be a free thinker.  A person who does or doest NOT hold any beliefs could be a free thinker too. This is because the definition of the “Free Thinker” is:

A person who has complete freedom to choose whatever they would like to think.


    In others words, a free thinker can choose whatever they want to believe and they aware of the choice they made. The “Complete Freedom to Choose” is the key here.  So, is free thinker an Atheist? There answer is “No”. Is Atheist a free thinker? The answer is “Perhaps Yes” !!!! 


    Why I said “Perhaps Yes”?

    If you’re an Atheist and you do not have the complete freedom to choose, you’re NOT an free thinker. However, if you fully aware that you choose to be Atheist, then you can consider yourself as free thinker. This may sounds confusing but let me ask you another question. If you’re an Atheist, would you believe in God if I can prove HIS existence to you? If your answer is YES, you’re a free thinker. If your answer is NO, you’re not a free thinker. You’re an Atheist. I hope this clears up everything.


    Similarly if you’re Christian or Muslim, you could be a free thinker too if you believe you still have choice to choose whatever you want to believe. I know this is a little bit sensitive here but this is my opinion on free thinker. So now back to this question of: "Is Free Thinker an Atheist?"

    “No, Free Thinker is NOT an Atheist but Atheist could be a Free Thinker”.

     Does this make sense to you?

    If you follow my blog close enough or even if you don’t, you can start reading it now and you will eventually end up with this question: “What is Everything”? You maybe confused but let me try to explain but let’s look at what has been discussed so far.




    Summary of My Previous Posts

    Everything has life and life is anything that can move by its own. Therefore, our universe is always in progress state which also means there is no beginning and no ending in our entire universe.  Due to the fact that the universe has no ending and no beginning, it always in progress to infinite milestones which are defined by the system and the system is everything.

    So by now you may realized that I started with “Everything” and it ends up with also “Everything”. So what exactly is EVERYTHING? You should have the best guess by now:


    Everything is Looping


    Let’s look at every life or any object that move by its own, how they move? They in fact all move in a loop. This is no exception to electron, earth and sun and so on all the way to the higher or lower of the system. Looping is the key no matter what perspective you’re looking at it. This also explains why “Deja Vu” happens and why people can predict the future. The reason is they have been in the loop before and they have gone through the path that they may aware or may not aware of it at all.

    One very interesting thing here is, are they going to the same loop again and again? Not exactly! This is because the entire loop is looping too. When you start at point A then B, C, D and back to A (i.e. A->B->C->D->A). You seem to be back to A but not exactly because the entire loop (i.e. A->B->C->D) is just part of another loop system. You back to the point A and this point A may look exactly the same with your previous point A but it is NOT.


    Let’s look at the diagram above and see if you can get it (Sorry, I lazy to draw myself and I used this electron diagram to illustrate this and hopefully you can get it). As you can see, while the electron (BLUE) is moving around the nucleus (RED), both of them are also in fact are moving too in one direction. So when the electron back to the point A where it started, it is technically not exactly the same place although it looks exactly the same place within the electron's perspective or worldview.

    Therefore it leads to another very interesting conclusion is:  

    We Think We Are that We Are Not!
