    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    When you copy someone else's work without giving them credit, that is considered stealing. Others don't share your opinion.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    That's just your opinion. In standard English, a lack of a belief is not a belief. False. I don't believe in God but I also don't assume that God does not exist. People are actually open minded and are able to accept that they could be wrong.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    They are saying that the prosecutor did not prove guilt, and that it is still possible that the defendant did do the crime.

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    It is seen as stealing culture from a group who has already been stolen from for centuries. There needs to be at least some acknowledgement of the pain and suffering that gave rise to that culture as well as a respect for those who built it.

    African American Culture Appropriation(hypocrisy?)

    In case you were unaware, Jews were discriminated against in Germany at one point.

    What Causes or Motivates the Anti-scientists?

    Theory is as high as any idea gets in science, so how is this a problem? Since the theory of evolution is one of the most well supported theories in science I can see why people accept it. However, how do you base your life on evolution? That doesn't make much sense. It's like basing your...

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    That would be a positive belief that you never stated that, according to your logic. "I don't believe" would not be an affirmation of belief. It doesn't get much simpler than that. There is a big difference between the two. If you do not believe God is real you are keeping the possibility...

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    False. Those are two different things. When a jury finds a defendant not guilty they are not saying that the defendant is innocent, only that guilt was not proven. That's the same approach that most atheists take towards claims made about deities.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Isn't that what you are doing?

    Atheism people have a belief "God does not exist "

    You can understand why people would doubt that humans speak for a deity, can't you?

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    Yes, in our frame of reference light travels at that speed. However, there is no time or distance in the photon's frame of reference. Again, you can't pretend as if all frames of reference are the same. It's ok to switch frames of reference as long as you accurately describe each one and do...

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    What we find most amusing is how theists stumble over themselves to make it appear as if atheists have beliefs like they do in order to discredit atheists.

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    "Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Atheism is too often defined incorrectly as a belief system. To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in...

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    Then what in the world would a negative statement about one's own beliefs look like? According to you: "I believe in Bigfoot" = positive statement "I don't believe in Bigfoot" = positive statement Methinks you have something backwards. False. He literally does NOT believe that God is real...

    Isn’t Atheism a world view without reasons and arguments?

    If it doesn't have to do with a disbelief in deities then it has nothing to do with atheism. It's a bit like finding a non-golfer who likes chocolate ice cream and the concluding that you must like chocolate ice cream if you don't play golf. Atheists breathe air, but I have yet to see anyone...

    Does the Soul Exist?

    If you are awake while you meditate, then it is the case during waking hours. Waking activity also rewires neural pathways. Those are just bare assertions. Where is the evidence that this reality is illusory?

    Seeing things in their past? You are full of beans!

    We do experience time and distance, so that is why we observe photons having a speed. Again, time and distance are relative to the frame of reference.

    Faith

    You can have conviction in a belief without any experience or knowledge to back it up.

    Faith

    Perhaps the problem is that you are insulted when someone points out that you are ignorant of something. If you are human, then you are ignorant of something. No human is all-knowing. We should honestly embrace the idea that we are ignorant of many things, and even recognize our fallible...

    Faith

    In discussions about the origin of the universe and the origin of life there are those who say that atheists have as much faith as theists because atheists have no evidence for how those things came about. It is pretty obvious many theists also view faith as a belief held in the absence of...
