What gives you the right to call my position of no belief ignorant, dishonest, nonsense? Do I not have that right? And how can you call it dishonest? How can you be in a better position to assess the honestness of my opinions/positions/statements than me?
I’m fine with saying I don’t see any evidence or I don’t have any belief. I don’t need to say I don’t know. Well, I don’t know of any evidence... I don’t take the hard atheist stance, im always open to new info & evidence or whatever like Zeus, Buddha, Zoroaster, etc
I completely believe that aliens, ghosts & big foot could exist & I wouldn’t know it. A million other earths may exist and I may never know it. I’m not even close to being so arrogant to say if a thing existed in the world- me, the repository of all knowledge- would know it. I’ll die maybe only...
It’s my understanding that supernatural claims can’t be proved either way. But I don’t believe in any of it, don’t believe any woo- any gods, demons, heaven, hell, fairies, big foot - nope
I’m an atheist because I see no evidence of any god or gods. When I “came out”, & stopped lying to myself and trying to be a theist when I simply couldn’t believe- my life completely changed. The last 2 yrs of my life has been the best by far.
Christians are atheist towards the gods they don’t believe in. The most basic of atheist definition is lack of belief in a god or gods.
There have been many research studies who have ID’d atheist Christians, maybe a better term would be cultural Christians. They keep going through the motions...
My definition is lack of belief in a god or gods so according to my definition theists can be atheists. Because they are atheist towards the gods they don’t subscribe to.
And I don’t believe in big foot. It’s not a rejection of a big foot belief, it’s not based on an alternative belief, it’s...
look at the stuff you post- so No people are not knowledgeable about the beliefs they defend. Others who have posted science links are, but you are not. You claim the serpent is Satan in the original sin story yet not 1 verse supports it. The bible May call a serpent Satan at one point in the...
So you think someone who is a theist would potentially become an atheist, choose to deny the god they believe in and risk eternal damnation out of boredom??
Nope. I’m an atheist not because I believe no gods exist. I have a lack of belief that any gods exist. At the most basic level atheism is a lack of belief in god or gods. Theists are atheists too, they’re atheist towards the gods they don’t believe in.
2 issues:
1. You’re saying they choose not to believe. Do you have a religion? Did you choose it? You do not choose beliefs. You’re either convinced of something or you’re not. Did you choose to believe you are gay or straight? Did you choose to believe you like chocolate or vanilla better? Can...
At the most basic version, atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. If you are a theist, is your atheism towards all the other religions you don’t believe in a belief? No, it’s simply a lack of beliefs towards religions other than the one you are a part of.
Are you calling me a punk? Or Satan? Cause genesis never IDs the serpent as Satan. And I was wondering if you go to the Dr.? If you were in a car wreck & broke your back, would you refuse medical care? Do you look at weather forecasts? Do you take your pets to a vet? Do you avoid jumping off...
