God is not the answer

[unfogged]

so you all believe there is no God? 

if you see a difference then please explain a little better than an fallical appeal to semantics.

I try to never make fallical appeals. Does your spellcheck not work at all? That's not even a word.

He probably mean follicle as his "arguments" tend to be pretty hairy.

When talking about the meaning of a phrase, semantics is what is actually under discussion, the meaning of what's being said. Atheism encompasses both those who believe there is no God and those who merely lack belief that there is a God. It's a matter of degree of certainty, and it ranges from 'I wouldn't be surprised if there is a real god or God but since as far as I know there isn't, I don't believe' to 'I think a god or God is very unlikely but possible', to 'all gods are made up, there aren't enough decimal points to express how unlikely a god is' to 'no way is there anything that fits the 'god' or 'God' description, there absolutely is no God'.

You are describing several version of deism 

Those semantics have words to fit those descriptions you left.

atheist:
a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.


the definition provide no such special dispensation for varying levels of belief. what you are describing with varying levels of belief is a form or deism where God maybe so detached from his creation there is no proof but the idea of a creator or engineer makes more sense that order out of chaos.

Speaking for myself, I do not BELIEVE there is no God. I KNOW there is no God.

At work.

Wait? If I state that my position is that;

"I see nothing to indicate any diety(s) exist AND that the qualities put forward as being part(s)/qualities of supposed/purported dieties are contradictory and/or nonsensical hence I don't think such things could exist."

I am a diest.

Sigh. Deism is the belief that there is a powerful Creator that created the universe but does not intervene. None of my examples fit that description.

We're using the same definition for atheism, but you don't seem to understand all the words that are in it.

then explain
