Do you have the right to be an atheist?
RE: Do you have the right to be an atheist?
Yeah,if theism is wrong then there is no reason for atheism to exist.
If you still exist THEN the burden of proof if on you.

Seeing how theism is believing in a god when even theists don't even know what god is,theism is a belief that tumbles down because of itself.

Conclusion: theism is nonsense.
No reason for atheism(and any sub set of atheism)to exist anymore.
If you choose to exist then the burden of proof is on you.

That is what i'm saying.

Edit: Added: "(any any sub set of atheism)"

What are we trying to prove?
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.'

I'm again reminded of what Sam Harris said, which is pretty dead on

Quote:In fact, "atheism" is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a "non-astrologer" or a "non-alchemist". We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.

(Agnostic) atheism is the default position. The term is only needed because of the prevalence of theism.

That pool doesn't really know what the words he's using mean. I think someone should've said QED some 20 pages ago.

No, you stated specifically that atheists have a burden of proof. What are we atheists supposed to be proving?
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.'

Why is asking for proof for an extraordinary claim stupid?
