ah yes ... one of my favorite rebuttals. The "you don't know what you're talking about" argument.

To answer your question: every atheist I have ever known requires evidence for all things. The symbol of the Atom represents that ideology - as an atom is tangible evidence and is of course the building block for all things in existence. Do you not see the MASSIVE connection? Tacky, do YOU not see this?

Also, I didn't invent the symbol and it is not the universal sign for atheism (there isn't one). Don't change my argument to fit your week point. I'm not saying that it should or should not be used, but rather that it is a much better symbol than a generic NO sign ... which is what your avatar is. Pretending that it doesn't get it's design from a NO sign is just your own idiocy protecting your poorly made and biased argument.

Tacky - please do tell me why you would kudos such a silly post of his??? I'm just so curious ... you're usually very reasonable.

The minesign for the Following Dark is a circle with two parallel diagonal lines slashed through it, making it resemble a No symbol. This is not a good sign, and can result in grags in a mine sitting surrounded by candles (as mentioned in Thud). It translates as "we await what follows with dread", or, more loosely, "Repent, ye sinners!".

Its a really good game I can recomend it.

While his argument is poor his point was one I agree with. It .If atheism is a lack of belief a null symbol would be closer to the mark, than a symbol for something, especially since there couldn't because universal consensus for atheists. By placing an object there when the definition is a lack of belief in God, I feel misses the mark, although I can see the massive links to the majority belief, IMO. I agree although the universal use of the symbol make it quite a poor choice in symbol as well. Not that I really give a rats about what symbol atheists use, generally, but since you asked I answered. I think a similar null sign with a pink unicorn, or a blank null sign with "without evidence" written circularly inside the symbol, as part of it would be more appropriate than an atom. I'm too busy right now to express it with ms paint so sorry if I didn't convey the idea well.

That and I've been pick'n little fights here and there and I knew you'd notice Devil
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

aw I see.

Yeah the symbol doesn't mean shit to me either, I just thought it was interesting that he made such a bold assertion as to the symbols relevance to Atheism, when it clearly is relevant to anything and everyone. Hell, the christians could actually slap it over the word atheists thereby completely nullifying the symbol altogether in that particular time and setting - and of course that was my point all along.

It's a silly argument ... but I wanted to have it. Devil
