I'm an aatheist. I lack belief in atheism.

[Desert Snake]

Strange argument, to "lack belief", thats great, but I lack belief in atheism

 

[LukeS]

People have their causes for lacking belief, usually other beliefs which are not made explicit.

 

[Jumi]

What is the claim that you lack belief in? As far as I know, atheism can be lack of belief in all the proposed gods. Does that mean that you absolutely believe in all the gods?

 

[Terese]

To be an atheist one has to not believe in God, not lack a belief of atheism.

You don’t believe the concept of not believing in any gods actually exists? Or you don’t believe there are any people who truly don’t believe in any gods? Or you’re playing a silly word game because you don’t have any real arguments against all those who happen to believe something different to you?

Such a silly hangup.

That's kinda weird. Contrarian I guess. Which is fine as a thought exercise, but it has no actual value beyond that.

To paraphrase theist = some form of theistic belief, atheist = no form of theistic belief. Anti-theist believes theism is harmful.

Aatheism is not what you are, my friend. Anti-anti-theist or anti-atheist makes more sense.

The first I understand, though it's not my position. The second would be kinda sad, to be honest.

psssst, don't say that too loud. you'll rile the atheists. some believe a lack of a god, or gods, is lack of beliefs.

Of course, gods too.

No... why would it mean that.

No, aatheist. Not an atheist.

Strange that the idea you use, is now a silly word game. Telling, actually.

Neither. And I dont actually care what you or anyone, worship

Insightful response. Any chance of extrapolating?

It's a lack of belief in Gods. All people hold beliefs.

Don't lie to yourself. You wouldn't constantly be making threads trying to poke, prod and provoke atheists if you weren't vexed by their stance of lacking a belief in God... i.e. lacking an object of worship.

And I would guess that you're probably one of those who believes that we all "worship something", even if that's science or some man-made, material contrivance like money. Although, being a "syncretic", don't you basically hold that all systems of belief point to the same, overall "truth?" So, if youare of the opinion that "atheism" is, itself, a "belief" much like any other, then doesn't that mean you would need to also assimilate atheism into your sycretism?

What? That is just nonsense, you should rewrite that.

That isn't what syncretic means.

That is a specific type of universalism.

Eh. Better to say you lack belief in a godless universe.

You didn't answer my question. Exactly what do you actually mean by "aatheist"?
