    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    In modern terms, it is called factual knowledge. Keep that in mind while continuing with your greater understanding.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Since the discussion is on atheism, let's use an atheist example. If you have knowledge of God, but do not believe in God... is your knowledge still a belief? If you are Agnostic, does your knowledge of God now create a suspended belief dependent on proof accepted by the individual? The real...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Verified knowledge becomes a probability or certainty. Unverified knowledge that an individual claims as fact, is a belief.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Uh... knowledge is what you, as an individual, learn. It doesn't make it true. It doesn't make it justified. It doesn't make it a belief. I have the knowledge of Bigfoot. It doesn't mean I believe it. It doesn't make it true... and it is not justified.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Ugh. So it's your fault. This stuff is like intellect acid... I think I feel my brain starting to drip out my ear. "A belief has to be justified and true, to be a justified true belief" God strike me down because I don't deserve to be in the presence of such wisdom. Take a day away from the...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    It is not a perception. I can prove it. Any society that has grown up without the book of Mormon... or any individual that has never read the Book of Mormon... doesn't know what the book of Mormon says. If all the religious holy books somehow "reveal themswlves" in people's heads, then...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    It is the same way Joseph Smith conceived the Book of Mormon. Why don't you believe in that one?

    Ever wonder what goes through a suicide bomber's mind? Hmm... think think think...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    That's what all the false prophets say.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    So God has intervened in the world after the death of Jesus?

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Again. Orthodox Jews render your sugar coating, to sugar coating. You have one view, and are rearranging reality to suit your view.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Like those who ignore the Old Testament as God's final word. Notice how God himself never comes down at all in the New Testament like he did in the old? Apparently he interfered enough for a virgin birth, so it's a bit of a stretch that this jealous, powerful god would give away his...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Once brainwashed to ignore reality, and to rely on an imaginary friend, it's really just a matter of which imaginary friend you like better. Conversion, means nothing.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    We may not have free will and be completely governed by physics that is 100% predictable. We simply aren't at a stage of brain development to consider the vast number of variables. It doesn't mean you have to wear religious headgear.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Yes. Like Jesus, who has usurped Yahweh's power, as the non-believers follow that golden calf. Throughout the Old Testament, when Yahweh's most staunch believers have called to him, he came. Jesus himself recognized this when, shortly before his death, he cried out to God "Why have you...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Kids mimic their parents by observation all the time. Big deal. Depending on the age, they can also mimic friends and things on TV. I can't believe I'm engaging this.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    If there is diversity, only one of you may be right. You cannot sugar coat it.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    If another god, through divine intervention, wiped all the Holy Bibles, printed and electronic, off the face of the Earth... ... how would the Christians then know what God wanted, and what hey had to do to get to heaven? They rely solely on the printed word. A book. A material possession. All...

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    Merriam Webster defines "rational" as: : based on facts or reason and not on emotions or feelings : having the ability to reason or think about things clearly Gambit will like this one... ... since God is based only on emotions and feelings, belief in God is not rational.

    *[I believe] Atheism is an absurd worldview

    It's like painting all Germans like Hitler because he was German. Or all black people are saints because of Martin Luther King. It's a dumb argument. Individuals are just that. Individuals. Atheists bring up the religious wrongdoings in *response* to the self righteous claim that God can do no...
