    What do people think "atheist" means?

    Based on what again? Imagine if all educators had as short a fuse as you do?

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    Agreed. Try telling that to a monotheist.

    Atheism is not a default position

    Shall we now quibble over what sugar tastes like? Very subjective? Are you suggesting that there's enough of an anatomical difference between us that we might safely make such a statement? Or that the chemical nature of the food being tasted somehow changes based on who is actually doing the...

    Atheism is not a default position

    Could you be more specific? Because if that's all you're going to give me to work with, my answer is inevitably going to be: All of it. Except the part where Adam tried to blame Eve in the garden of Eden. That episode screams out "TRUTH" in ways that apparently only select mystics can...

    What is the WORST Afterlife ?

    I think the worst possible scenario would involve living on a planet slowly being sucked dry of its resources while you work a meaningless, unfulfilled 9-5 job in a congested city before going home to stare vacantly at a glowing screen until you go to bed and get a few hours sleep before you...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    So if a person doesn't believe in 99 out 100 gods you don't see that as a glaring absence of belief? OK. You're entitled to your opinion and all of its sundry baggage. I will maintain that theists do indeed have absences of belief. In fact, monotheism by definition indicates a nearly...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    That seems reasonably accurate. But which god, exactly? There are so many. You lost me there. Why must you insist that just because a person is unconvinced regarding a proposition that they must therefore ascribe to it's opposite? I'm not positively convinced regarding the existence of...

    What do people think "atheist" means?

    Of course. A "weak" theist might be the sort of person who only believes in a god (or gods) because of some soggy-brained argument like Pascal's Wager ... while a strong theist might believe because his family have served as the village's witch doctors for untold generations and his personal...

    Atheism is not a default position

    I was arguing with you ... but in the same general direction. Setting aside your assertion that all definitions are flawed, I wasn't really arguing against you. What I was really hoping for was a citation or three to support your other assertion that certain people seek to somehow twist the...

    Time travel in Heaven?

    Science deals with what exists. Correct?

    Atheism is not a default position

    I hope you don't think that I'm arguing with you. I ultimately feel that atheism is simply "to be without theism." Typically, it's because one isn't convinced by theism's less than compelling song-and-dance of an argument. You either believe in the proposition that there's at least one...

    Atheism is not a default position

    Isn't that usually the best way to keep such things? Kind of like we're only ever really wearing the pair of shoes we have on? Undoubtedly, language is an imperfect tool. Is anyone debating that point? Here? Umm. Doesn't the term "robot" date back to the 1920's?

    There is no atheism

    I exist because my parents mated. NEXT (((CONTENT REDACTED))) QUESTION? But which religion? If you mean "religion-as-a-whole" it actually does not have one answer to your question. It has as many answers as there are religions.

    Atheism is not a default position

    "This is the approach I am challenging in regard to atheism, people seem to think that if you can apply a given definition in another context where it does not make sense - they have somehow disproven the position it defined. Which is nonsense." ~ Bunyip ... Have you in fact alluded to other...

    Time travel in Heaven?

    I'd imagine that it would be very difficult (if not impossible) for a being that lacks a temporal form to interact with the universe in any way. I also suspect that it'd be next to impossible for a temporal being to interact with the physical universe in a fashion that is totally undetectable...

    Atheism is not a default position

    OK. But I hope we'll both agree that that isn't what you initially asserted. You stated that all definitions are flawed. Perhaps you meant to say that all definitions are incomplete? Kind of like how Marcel Duchamp must have felt when he doodled a mustache on the Mona Lisa? "All...

    Atheism is not a default position

    What? Laying around on the ground? Left behind in taxicabs? As prizes in Happy Meals? I'm skeptical about that claim. Ideas-as-objects strikes me as a leaden conceptualization. I cannot grasp your need to anthropomorphize ideas. Anyway, those "rational conclusion statements" are formed...

    Atheism is not a default position

    Do I need to point out that you failed to address the cited definition and instead opted to supply a new one (which you then proceeded to dismantle)?

    Time travel in Heaven?

    But doesn't the present occur in time? Yet the days of the Roman Empire occurred in time, yes? Actually, that very second is now in the past. As is this one. They're quite perishable. Stale before you can even appreciate 'em. Do you mean that everyone who manages to get to heaven will...
