The Sects of Atheism

[The Grand Nudger]

There was an obnoxiously large print of that hanging in the bathroom directly opposite the shitter when I was growing up.

Thank you. You sound like a true atheist,

Thank you. I try.

but I’m waiting for one here to give me the correct answer.

Well, if you have the correct answer, spit it out. Don't keep us in suspense.

I am going to call this sect “The Meat Machines”. Meat Machines are basically people whose value is just that. Meat. We will get to this later.

Nobody here believes that. (Except maybe The Valkyrie.)

Your answer on soul, skirts on philosophy though and based on your position as “lack of belief” you shouldn’t delve into any philosophy. Do you agree/disagree with this?

Ummm. I disagree. Because a philosopher is someone who tries to understand reality. Not someone who has the correct answer. Not someone who "knows things" or "believes things." In fact a famous adage of an almost-universally revered philosopher (Socrates) is "The only thing I know is that I don't know." Tracing the line from ignorance to knowledge is what a philosopher tries to do. You do that by discarding assumptions and starting from scratch. Not by assuming things.

Also, I have beliefs. Just not god-beliefs. I believe I'm sitting on a chair right now. I believe my front porch light is on. I'm agnostic about God. Not everything.

Don't know how to tell you this, but, the afterlife is pay to play.

Thank you very much, have a nice day.

Hard pass.

Hello. I’m new here. I’m a believer in God. In Jesus more specifically. 
In this topic I’d like to discuss some definitions and where this leads you as a person. 

Can you please describe what and where you are in a belief system? Or no belief system? Or lack of belief?

Once you’ve answered that, can you please answer the following: What can you tell me about souls and the existence of an afterlife?

Thank you.

I am an agnostic atheist.  I do not think it is possible to determine with certainty whether or not something is a god (that's the agnostic aspect), and I do not believe that gods exist (hence my identification as an atheist).

I also identify as a humanist and a stoic, observe Old Norse holiday traditions (Scandinavian on my mother's side), and practice mindfulness meditation.

I do not believe in souls, nor do I believe that life after death is possible.

Yes, there are many sects of atheism.

Cute atheists are those who think theists lack evidence, 

Less cute atheists think there is positively no God (100% certainty).

Then you have militant atheists who go out and actively preach their lack of belief

and then, at the Pol Pot level, atheists rigorously apply natural selection to entire populations.

No Klor now back to getting your ass kicked on physics and the meaning of life

Bullshit.

Yes, there are many sects of atheism.

There are none

Cute atheists are those who think theists lack evidence, 

So people who point out the FACT you don't have any evidence 

Less cute atheists think there is positively no God (100% certainty).

Nope

Then you have militant atheists who go out and actively preach their lack of belief

Nah people who actively point out theist preach without any evidence 

and then, at the Pol Pot level, atheists rigorously apply natural selection to entire populations.

Not even wrong 

Congrats you have once demonstrated how ill-informed and dishonest you are .....Again 

Now go back to losing on every other thread you spew your rubbish on.

You know, I hear about these guys alot...but I never run into a recruiter?  Is that a big problem in your country?  People out in the streets pushing their non belief on other people?  Does your government do anything about those people?
