Do u want there to be a God? Any God?

[The Grand Nudger]

No. That's not what I meant to ask.  No sense in blaming "the religious" when it was atheist extremists.

There have been plenty of atheists who were also extremists, however...atheism, concerns one's state of belief in gods.

Do you understand?

If you did understand that, or if you were even capable of understanding that...or had you ever so much as picked up a textbook....then you would also understand why your comment above is ridiculous.

But you don't, you won't, and you haven't...so here we are, with you bitching about the soviet apparatus, again.

Now we're getting somewhere. What textbook?

It took you awhile to get there, but I see progress.

Any textbook should suffice to disabuse you of your notions of why or how the soviet apparatus did what it did, which had nothing to do with atheist extremism, as atheism concerns one's state of belief in gods.

Looks like it's time for Lucy to pull out the football for you again.

Let me know when you come to the conclusion that I "understand" how you define it, but will not accept it beyond that unless you can validate it.  Ask again if you like, but my position on it won't change.

[The Grand Nudger]

Your position may not change, but you're only indicating that you will continue to be wrong by declaring this.  Atheism still concerns one's state of belief in gods.

Actually, I've already pointed out that the meaning of atheism is an empirical fact which is easily settled. But you have me on ignore, so you never saw it. That's what happens when you make a point of avoiding people simply because they have the potential to challenge your ideas if you engage with them.

Wrong about what?  How can I be wrong about your claim?  I said I agree with you within the context of yourself.  If you say I need to apply it outside of that, then it's on you to show me why, and you've already acknowledged that I didn't form a judgment beyond that. Do you need the post number?

It's "your" state of belief in gods as defined by you.  Beyond that - zipppppppp

[The Grand Nudger]

The fact that atheism concerns one's state of belief in gods has nothing to do with any "context of myself".

That's nice.  "One's state of belief."   Yep, and with your definition you are the "one". 

Zing!

Correct, ones state of belief determines whether or not one is an atheist..because atheism concerns one's state of belief.  I do not believe in gods, therefore I am an atheist. You do believe in gods, therefore you are not an atheist. As mentioned multiple times, this is a tautology.
