Religious/spiritual folk: do you mind that atheists are common on RELIGIOUS forums?

religious DIR

Some atheists consider themselves religious. Whether the non-theistic DIR is religious or not probably depends on the post.

No, I meant I don’t see atheist participating in religious DIR‘s

I've noted that anti-theists(not atheists) are generally Abrahamic in the views, which is somewhat ironic.

I can't talk with them most of the time, because they don't hear what I'm saying. My views aren't Abrahamic, so most of them don't seem able to compute what I'm talking about.

I totally get what you're saying. Though my views ARE Abrahamic, they are not evangelical and I don't pursue anything evangelically if that makes sense. So they don't know what to make of me, to be honest.

No, they wouldn't be allowed in most cases.

Unless they're Dharmic atheists. There is a place for atheism in Dharmic religions.

All they need to do is check the religious DIR box.. but why don’t they? ….because like I said, they participate in mostly debates.

Honestly, all the DIRs get limited use at this point.

I chat with atheists daily in the jokes and general discussion areas.

I think they're not meant to.

 

[Secret Chief]

but why don’t they?

Because they're abiding by the forum rules.

 

[Jimmy]

I think they're not meant to.

Cuz they can’t debate there.

 

[Secret Chief]

Cuz they can’t debate there.

Because they don't identify as to the specific DIRs. Don't you understand?

 

[Jimmy]

I don’t either but I’ve participated there.

 

[Secret Chief]

Well you should not.

Can one go to these places to learn if they don’t identify? Perhaps in the hopes of future identification?

No kidding. Try to abide by the simple rules.

Guess learnings out

There are other sub-forums for what you intimate. But why the need to learn anything, when you die all existence will end.

 

[Quintessence]

No, because religion =/= theism and atheism =/= irreligion.

What bothers me is that these are constantly conflated with one another as if all religion must be theistic (no, incorrect) and all irreligion is atheistic (no, incorrect).

That's your belief, but it's not the belief of many people.
