I'm Choppie

I'm Choppie
Hello, there!

I am an atheist. If there was a number line from one to seven, where one was absolute theist, and seven an absolute atheist, I would say I am a six. The reason being - those who are either one or seven think so strongly that they are right, they will not change in the face of evidence. Therefore, being either one or seven is illogical, and one can't be illogical if they are to uphold or challenge the ideas of atheism/theism.

Welcome to the forums Choppie, have fun!

p.s. You could always be a 6.9 though, it doesn't have to be integer, you know Smile

Ah, very good point! However, I must be careful with .9s, as if they recur, I become a 7!

Huh? An atheist? On Atheist Forums? Weird. You sure you're in the right place?

Well, I saw this place first, but I found it a bit too liberal Wink

Welcome Choppie! Big Grin
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.

Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.

Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.

Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

You never have to apologize for maths jokes with me... Physics jokes on the other hand... Wink

Welcome Choppie!

I'm about a 6.9 atheist on your scale, with a few repeats, but not to infinity, unless it's the Christian god.

Stick around. Find a pet theist to play with. Careful though - some are not housebroken and leave all sorts of messes around the place.
