How can you determine if he's an atheist? Maybe you're not a real atheist then. Who gets to pick? That's your version. We also have the atheists who have evolved and believe in God. Of course, mystics as well, and other various atheist denominations, versions, or whatever else they may be called. I'm guessing you have the minority edition, where you just don't believe "God" or "gods" exist. That tends to be fashionable today (January 23, 2019 at 11:07 pm)T0 Th3 M4X Wrote:(January 23, 2019 at 10:55 pm)The Valkyrie Wrote: Of you believe in a god you're a theist.

Delusional. SMH.
What's the difference between a cat that's a cat and a cat that's a dog? Atheism! NONBELIEVER IN DISBELIEF! Check out this book! Bronze age fairy tales run my life. I'm in the realm of the gods and I'm on too much PCP. The ramblings of a delusional schizophrenic. Or, you know, a Christian.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

An atheist is a person who does not believe in god. Show me one atheist that would disagree with that. You can't. On to your next point. You keep spamming that book even though you haven't read it. Have a quote from the author... Quote:"I do not always believe, let alone know, if God exists. I do not always know he, she, or it does not exist either, though there are long patches in my life when it seems God never did exist." Perhaps that might give you a hint at his chosen title. But I doubt you have the wit. Or the honesty. RE: Is atheism a belief?

I also previously cited that 1 in 5 self identifying atheists also claim to believe in God. So there’s a lot more than the guy who wrote that book. There are also plenty of agnostic who don’t accept the typical definitions of atheism/agnosticism often presented in places like this, like Neil Tyson, Carl Sagan, Noam Chomsky, Huxley etc... They define their agnosticism as distinct from atheism. I hold to this distinction and definition, because the distinction most theists find useful, is between belief and lack of belief, not between knowing and not knowing, which exists in the traditional agnostic/atheist distinction, but not in the newly formulated ones. If most people here merely lack a belief one way or the other when it’s come to the question of God, they’d fall under the category of agnostic. If they believe God doesn’t exist, they’d fall under the category of atheist. RE: Is atheism a belief?

They do, they keep telling folks that, but there's a type of person that's just so fucking dense they'll never hear it, lol. Quote:If they believe God doesn’t exist, they’d fall under the category of atheist. Yep, also atheists..though they could -also- be agnostic atheists. The only people who -aren't- agnostic atheists are the ones who -know- that god does not exist. Gnostic atheism.
