I have been. The others tend to agree with each other that it is just merely defined as "lack of belief" rather than disbelief. And I have asked how they use it, and I get the same redundant and inane response, "Lack of belief" is all they say. As if that were truly the case, then they wouldn't care to argue with me. Because obviously saying that you don't believe in the existence of something is a belief, because it is followed and believed to be, until more persuasive or concrete "material" is brought forth.
Ugh:faint:
Atheism is a lack of belief though. I have given you the point that atheist believe they are atheists but that does not relate to the definition of atheism. Atheists are not theists. It is not a belief as much as it is a non-belief, it is a lack of belief. Are people that are not collecting stamps performing an activity to do with stamps?
There is nothing to perpetuate our knowledge besides the dust that will be our legacy.
There is plenty to perpetuate our knowledge, and I listed mine to begin with, my previous experience with definitions has perpetuated my knowledge so that I can be reasonably confident that not knowing is not a definition of God.
And "not knowing" is a definition of "God", in reference to "agnosticism", which closely relates to "atheism".
It is not a definition of God, agnosticism is a religious position not a representation of God. Agnosticism also relates to theism, I know many agnostic theists.
What does my response define of God? What information does it share about the term God? That I personally don't know anything about God? How has that got anything to do with defining God as it only applies to me?
It is simple, responding to the question is an answer, since the first thing that pops up in One's mind is the "Most Supreme", self evident, or uncomprehensible thought, which "God" is an Aspect used to describe.
Could you clarify the above quote? I didn't really understand what you were trying to say.
Sharing anything is giving information about your perception. It lacks nothing except that which you are unable to describe.
Yes, my perception, not the definition of a term.
[/quote]Yes, the fact that the wall was originally white does remain, but it has changed to the fact that now the wall is red
The wall has changed colour is a fact, the wall was once whit is a fact, the wall is now red, is a fact. Nothing changes here, you are wording the sentences incorrectly. Facts do not change, if they did, then they were never facts in the first place and were falsely labelled. The way it needs to be worded is what the facts truly are, not how they relate to us. The fact is that the wall was white for a period of time. That is the full fact and it doesn't change because it took into account the fact that the wall was eventually painted a different colour.
