My view. Atheism (as I have stolen the gods knowledge), is something which is both true and not true. Therefore, it is impossible for someone to claim that there is no God. Claiming there is no god is like claiming that there is no intellectual being of any form of God. Dissing the other religions like christianity is fine so long as you know precisely what you are dissing. Now. Discuss.
Everyone is Atheist for one God or another. It still don't think it is possible to prove a negative. BUT, as there is no proof of (or evidence for) Gods or Goddesses I continue to lack a beleif in them.
No. Atheism is reaching a conclusion based on an overwhelming lack of reasons to "believe". You are an easter bunny atheist. That's a fact. Everything about the god myth flies in the face of your experience of reality. You were taught to think uncritically about god(s) for many culturally defined reasons. That's all.
See? Anyone who denies the one aspect that separates us from animals has got to be demonstrably stupid. :blbl:
We're seperate from animals? Wow. That's a new one on me O great and wise one. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
i also must say that those who are religious, and base their beliefs on nothing more than indoctrination and ceremony are doing the same thing. for it is my belief that unless god puts the smack down on your ass, you don't know shit. and you don't have a belief, but wishful thinking, an agenda, a job, a codependency, or some form of coercion...and a lie.
you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to me and my personal experience with god. and if the flippin' easter bunny did to me what god's done to me in my life then i'd believe in his furry little ass too.
I appericate the logic. The one guy who studied me said that I think I'm anslem. Well, in this segment (the opening post); I had thought it was entirely clear and intact. That just goes to give my nature away. The point is is that it is both true and not true . It is giving away to the whole basis of the thread. If whats his name can figure me out maybe I can too. True because, there is good reason to hold atheistic beliefe according to the thread titles implications (the born non believers who continue such ways). And true because they are right in their foundations but. They are wrong to state that he does not exist when it comes across as a no for god. Is my premise. A no for god is invalid and unacceptable. A yes for god, is also somewhat unacceptable but much more acceptable given the nature that God contains. At least of my conception that I have of Him.
God didn't do "it" to you. You are a believer. That's fine. Asserting things about god, as fact, the way you do proves that you have no ability to reason on this subject. Which I already knew. You will yell and jump up and down about the fact of gods existence. That's good for you. But don't expect rational people to be too impressed with such antics.
