Another day talking into your mirror....you sad twat.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

The term derives from Greek δόγμα "that which seems to one, opinion or belief"[3] and that from δοκέω (dokeo), "to think, to suppose, to imagine"
So this has really nothing to do with......... A principle or set of principles laid down by an authority.
As i said yesterday anybody can create a dogma if we stick with the original Greek meaning and also doesn't mean that the believes should be incontrovertibly true.
It is just an opinion that born in the imagination of someone and come with no evidence.
Now as far as this opinion stay in the mind of the one who originate this idea is ok or it is bad only for the one who create this idea but as soon as it is spread around and affect other people for the worse then it create a problem.
Human nature is a constant quest for mental expansion so when one is expected to accept the idea without question it create a problem as the mental expansion is checked.
But let us go back to my point in which i said that atheism is based on dogma.
After having read countless of times in different threads of this forum that ..........

..........the consciousness is a product of the brain.
..........with the physical death everything is over.
..........our consciousness come thanks to previous generations..........and so on.

i have to come to the conclusion that constantly repeating these mantras which are not backed up by solid evidence create a check or a block in the mind and not only in the mind of the one who originate the thought but also in the mind of anyone who follow these thoughts.

Sarkar said............
.....Dogma is an idea with a rigid boundary line, which won’t allow you to go beyond the periphery of that boundary line. Thus dogma goes against the fundamental spirit of the human mind. The human mind won’t tolerate anything rigid. It wants movement – not only movement, but accelerated movement. Humans want unbarred psychic progress, intellectual progress, without obstacles.

I assume you realize that we are writing to each other in English in the 21st Century. The definition of dogma I gave you is the usual meaning of the word as it's used by contemporary English speakers.

However, if you wish to mount your etymology hobby horse, be my guest. It's the first time I've actually seen you give some care to your ordinarily atrocious use of the language, so I suppose we should count this as a win.

Your next assignment: look up the etymology for "idiot".

You don't even realize that your comment created one more dogma.  Good one
By saying that we should be sticking with the current English version you automatically declare that the English version should be use regardless whether is the best or not preventing in this way the expansion of the mind by trying to find better way to improve the current status. Tut Tut

Ok Little Prick, seriously circular logic there - you use an obsolete definition of the word "Dogma" to justify why it's dogmatic for saner people to insist on using the relevantly modern definition.
