You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

You're a Christian poe right? Oh right? Another retreat completely devoid of any answers? Tell you what why don't you compound the amount of intellectual cowardice in that statement by blocking me again? That seems to be what you're best at. Just to show everyone what conflicting posts actually look like: (July 28, 2012 at 4:54 am)fr0d0 Wrote: Atheism is a position on God [deity].

Thank you and goodnight. :-)

How can I do anything in response to that self contradicting nonsense?
You'd need to come up with something that at least made sense. Your favourite post lol. Is be surprised if you understood it at this point. RE: Atheism is the punk rock of religion

List the contradictions I've supposedly made in your own words, if any. I would also like justification to calling my last quote "nonsense".

I've painstakingly and very clearly pointed out the serious flaws you've made and you've basically repeated them.

No you didn't, you quoted various posts and said they contradicted with no elaboration as to why they do. Seriously, what do you think you are gaining from stalling exactly? Because its not credibility.

- Abdul Alhazred.  Quote:Without meaning to come across as insulting; All of this is tautological, given what you're assuming is the definition of a 'religious position'. If someone asks, "What is your position on God's existence," would you consider "I'm an atheist" to be unresponsive? If it is responsive, then "I'm an atheist" is a "position on God's existence". Now, it seems reasonable to me that someone might consider "I'm an atheist" to be responsive. It also seems reasonable to me that someone would consider it unresponsive, since "I'm an atheist" is essentially equivalent to "I don't have one". It's all just arbitrary based on what you're accepting as a "position". Like, imagine I ask the number of apples you're holding. You might say, "I'm not holding any number of apples"; or, you might say, "I'm holding zero apples." Which response is appropriate depends on what you accept as "holding k apples". “The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Catholic, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”

If you believe in ghosts but not gods- still an atheist If you believe in the power of Voodoo but not the Loas or Orishas - still an atheist An atheist might believe in horoscopes, they might be honing their telekinetic abilities as a hobby. Some may have arrived at atheism from some evidence they found compelling, others because they never found any evidence they found compelling. Some couldn't care less about evidence either way, they simply don't believe. It's a big tent. Christians are not atheists because they believe in god, they are not Muslims because they do not have faith in Islam. Similarly Muslims are not atheists because they believe in god, they are not Christians because they do not have faith in Christ. So no, they are not atheists by that definition - or any definition, though we can call them that if we want (because we can call anyone anything we like).
