All I have to do to be an atheist is not believe in a god. I can be open-minded, closed-minded or any variation thereof and still be an atheist simply by virtue of not believing in a god.
This isn't rocket science. I accept that you have a god-belief. Why are you trying to attach irrelevant conditions to my non-belief?

Atheism = "I don't believe that any deities exist." That's all. He seems to think that there is some set of rules . . . !!

Drich is the definition of a moron, like this is what he thinks scientists call evolution:
Quote:if the latest version of elephant was born with ablative armor that deflected poachers bullets they would still be elephants and that would still be an example of micro evolution. now if the next generation had gills and fish tails to swim away from predators... that would be an example of Darwinism.
What more do you need? And yet some people here try to talk to him as if he's not a mentally challenged person.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

You know, if you squint at it in the early dawn light it -is- evolution, however unlikely that pathway might be..but also a complete defenestration of creatard objections to evolution, lol.
No matter what the descendants of elephants turn into they will always be elephants. Just as we are still the primates we ever were despite vast changes from then to now. We're still bony fish, too. We, like the hypothetical littoral assault elephants, have simply become many other things as well.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I actually feel a special kind of pity for these people. So much potential wrapped around the axle of religion, when they could fly free in the air of reason. Even if it took a bunch of skull sweat to get there, it's worth it.

But first they have to overcome the double whammy of indoctrination: Considering the possibility that they won't actually live forever in heaven, and confronting the fear of hell. Along with the pity, I feel considerable loathing towards the people who taught them those concepts.

When you have the Bible you don’t need to know anything. Which is good because The bible apparently also keeps you from actually knowing anything, such as what bullshit the Bible is.
