    Proud Muslim,

    That’s because your interpretation that godlessness = immorality is infant-like stupidity and not worthy of serious comment.

    Also you seem to have missed my post where I did address this and pointed you at some appropriate and real definitions of atheism in the hope of reducing your apparent significant ignorance of the subject. And I repeat the relevant part of my post here again for you.

    Try something more relevant like a book that correctly defines atheism or perhaps even an atheist website e.g.

    http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/intro.html

    That will provide you a correct definition.

    If you have determined your philosophy of life based on dictionary definitions then you are in very big trouble.

    Kat

    "the atheist believes that death is the permanent end of life"

    Why would you believe such a thing? It's true that I might suspect it, but believing it seems unnecessary. There is always the possiblity of something beyond comprehension or current abilities to detect. I wouldn't advocate a position on either side of an argument about something that I can't know at this time. Okay I might advocate one, but I think it's important to leave beliefs to the religious folks.

    Then again, I suppose people, religious or not - believe whatever gets them through the day. *shrug*

    Day in and day out I see this distinction between belief and ideas that I don't really see. When I have a good idea that something is true I call it my belief that it is so. Then again for those who watched dogma.

    "So do you believe?"
    "No, but I have a good idea."
