    Can we change our mind about what we believe?

    One can't see when their eyes are closed. One may still be able to open their eyes and adjust their vision to the newfound light.

    What do Atheist Believe?

    Thank you for your answer, I guess what I have found most inciteful in this question is this accepted spectrum of Atheism. It is as if to most answering there are different shades of black or white, which aren't options I considered. To me, Atheism in its word composition is 'Not Belief of God'...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    In other words, Atheist simply do not accept the Scriptures as evidence of testimony of God while theist would. Not that they wouldn't accept any evidence, just the ones presented. Now I get that, which is kind of why I asked the question. Theist are able to create a grounded explanation for why...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    I can see why this would be conflicting. So instead of believing in a God that would protect you against your enemies, You took the moral weight off of that deity and put it on an immoral government that wanted you to kill people in the name of the country? If you didn't stop your belief, what...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    Are you using belief as if they do not or might not exist? Or are you using it like you trust in their integrity as people? Do you believe your children will always be your children or your husband will always be your husband? Or are their roles finite? Believing the sun will rise on the morning...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    If you were to consider God to be a variable in which has no rational definition, yet at the same time cannot definitively deny the possibility of the existences of some kind of god, is it because this possibility doesn't meet your expectations? What specific expectations are you looking for...

    The God of gods

    It was actually the other way around

    What do Atheist Believe?

    It is hard because from my understanding Atheism is entirely weighted on rejecting claims made by people's beliefs, typically supported by an idea that there is no physical proof therefore impossible or unreasonable to believe in deities. What I am trying to see is if that same scrutiny is...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    Completely? How does someone stop? Is it a choice? Is it an event? Do you need proof of something? Take Santa Clause. Is it when you see your parents putting presents under the tree? Is it because your friends told you? Is it because the claims of reindeer pulling a sleigh all around the world...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    Ok. So why can't you say you KNOW theists are wrong? Why use 'belief'?

    What do Atheist Believe?

    Atheism is a statement about what one believes? So what I believe you are saying is, in order to be an atheist you must believe that God does not exist? It seems everyone here is saying it is the lack of belief in God. So who is more correct?

    What do Atheist Believe?

    LOL. Oh how cartoons have taken the places of most parenting. Although its funny that gravity only works when Wiley realizes it and he is usually fully healed in a matter of seconds. So you are content with your proof in your belief system coming from stories or happening to other things or beings?

    What do Atheist Believe?

    Isn't that everything to do with atheism? I am trying to better understand what atheism is logically? You say it is a lack of belief in God, but to what extent? If I wake up one day and question my belief in God, at what point do I enter atheism?

    What do Atheist Believe?

    I understand there is atheism and there is agnosticism. Agnosticism is what everyone experiences to certain degress, however, I am curious to know if atheism is possible in humans, and if so, how does it affect ones belief structure.

    What do Atheist Believe?

    So what I understood is a better term of atheism is agnosticism. It isn't possible to completely be absent from a belief in God, only to have a preference in belief in other things, correct?

    What do Atheist Believe?

    I am actually wanting to get some ideas because I am interested to know if atheism is an experience of a general lack of belief. It seems to me that in order to be a cognitive atheist, you must disallow belief altogether as how can any belief support the demands of concrete evidence or proof? Is...

    What do Atheist Believe?

    I assume this is your belief although you personally didn't experience this to know that this is the case. How much proof did you need in order for you to believe this to be true?

    What do Atheist Believe?

    So would you say you are atheist for the same reasons other atheist are atheist?
