the atheist feels they do not serve anything,yet they strongly
appear to not only serve but to strongly support radical liberal
views,or at least a great deal of them do.
For some reason Aliester Crowly tend to come up among many
of them,and I thought he was somewhat a satanist,or something
close along those lines?
If atheist's are such free-thinkers as they say,why must they all
appear to accept the idea of evolution.
Why is TOE so important to them?

Why is OE so important to them?" The TOE is a fact.
I support it for the same reason I support the idea that we get our light from the Sun; that the Earth revolves around said Sun; and that 2+2=4.
Your ignorance and childish god-worshiping notwithstanding, the examples above are all facts.
So atheists have strong support for radical liberal views, and that equates 'serving' someone? Wrong. Even if your blanket statement were true.
You bring up Crowley as a point of argument and you don't even know who the fuck he is? Retard.
The ToE is important the same way that knowing petro goes in the tank of your car is important. Or that radio waves travel invisably through the air, or that whales are not fish. They are simply parts of the world that we all live in. Knowing the facts about your own life isn't or shouldn't be so strange.
It's called learning. Try it sometime.
You´re unable to write but you can read minds as to know what atheist think?. Or you are unable to understand that free-thinker means independent from whatever religious or social consideration?. That´s why evolution is important to them. It´s coherent, and it´s over the notions of a book that, if it were up to its writers, we should live in the caves.
Man, I see so many people defending science who have no idea what science is.
Science doesn't seek truth. It tries to amass a compendium of useful knowledge. Truth is possibly the most useful knowledge, but it's not the only kind.
Evolution is the linchpin of basically all biology because it's the most useful assumption you could make. If everything arose from the evolution of a single life-form, then you can learn about life in general by studying life in specific - what you learn about the cells and processes of one animal can be applied to another.
If some arbitrary force created everything, there would be no need for any living thing to be like any other, and investigation of every individual of every species would have to begin ex nihilo.

you know, the only time i ever read anything about crowley was in relation to his involvement with the order of the golden dawn--which i was only looking at because charles williams had once been a member. charles williams, as i would not expect you to know, was a christian writer and an associate of both tolkien and c.s. lewis. i was reading williams and looking at the order of the golden dawn (hence, running across crowley) as part of a 20th century christian lit course at the seminary i was attending.
do you get it, slappy, i was a christian at the only time of my life that i looked at crowley. in a decade of atheism (sanity) i haven't given a rat's ass about that fraud or madame blavatsky or any other of you spiritualist charlatans.

They have this idea that free thinking or open mindedness means we'll believe any bullshit that crosses our paths.
You cant truly think freely because you're ultimately limited by reality. You can't accept every single world view freely because they usually contradict each other and many times don't even have any evidence.
Freethinking is trying to let go of all past dogma or assumptions and to truly understand the world around us as it is, not how we want it to be.
"If atheist's are such free-thinkers as they say,why must they all

Being a free-thinker doesn't mean believing any old rubbish.
You can listen to the million or so scientists with all their evidence and then you listen to the preachers with their 2000 year old booka nd you make a choice.
I went with the scientists
"If atheist's are such free-thinkers as they say,why must they all
appear to accept the idea of evolution."
I was one of those who received very little Evolution education in school and saw my first Bible in handouts at public school.
Not raised to believe or even respect Christianity I saw it for the stupid myth nonsense it was. The years only showed me more and more of that inherent stupidity and a growing respect for the accomplished, in music, literature and the sciences.
You know. Accomplished. People that produce enduring or productive things.
Not religions.
And please, stop thinking or claiming you people are free thinkers, you're a cult.
It's important to scientists, but non-scientific atheists probably don't give it a thought from year to year. The people who think it's important to REFUTE evolution are the fundies. They fail to notice that if evolution could be disproved tomorrow, it still wouldn't mean that god exists.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
