Again, by comparison: Political Systems are anything to do with government. But Anarchy is something to do with Government. Therefore, Anarchy is a Political System. Anarchists will try to evade this conclusion by claiming Anarchy, "being no political system at all", allegedly does not come under such. But it does, because it makes certain claims about political systems that are no in way self-evident and in fact rejected by the vast multitude of humanity. The same is true of Atheism.


Bla bla bla ....

By paragraph:

1. In addition to your definitions being flat-out wrong, you’ve mistaken ‘religion’ for ‘theism’. In order for this to work out, you need to use the same terms. So, theism is a belief in gods and atheism is not belief in gods. Religion is the belief in and worship of gods. Since atheism doesn’t believe in or worship gods, atheism is - by correct definition of what words actually mean - not a religion.

2. Anarchy is not ‘something to do with government’ therefore anarchy is not a political system. Your definition of a political system is wrong because there are plenty of things having to do with government that are apolitical.

3. If you’re going to compare amarsism with atheism, then amarsism isn’t a denial that Mars exists, but the lack of belief that it does.

4. You need to read up on NDEs.

5. There is widespread disagreement (among philosophers) as to whether atheism constitutes a school of philosophy. A common view is that atheism is, at most, a component of other philosophies.

6. Stop being so afraid of communists. They’re really not coming for you.

7. Ditto.

Liberalism: Wtf does Liberalism have to do with Athe.....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, you insufferable troll.
Darwin: Wtf does evolution have to do with Athe.....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, troll.
Marx: Wtf does an economics and politics philosophy have to do with Athe.....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, troll.
Kinsey: Seriously?....STOP.....its a rhetorical question, please no new thread, troll.

Atheism: "I do not believe in any god claims. Period"
Which part of this do you not understand after all these threads, after all those explanations?

You really think you can BS this forum into submission?
Do you really think Christ/God approves of that? Do you think the end (salvation) justifies the means (lies!)? A salvation, thats already given according to catechism?
How low are you planning to go, i mean beyond what we all had to witness already? I mean beyond all the blatant lies, mischaracterisatzions, the bastardized science, outdated and falsely applied philosophy, the "create new thread when being shown i am full of shit in the current one"?
I suspect that his definition of "liberalism" is broad enough that it basically means "any belief system that wouldn't have fit in under Mussolini."

It probably means any system where pedophiles dont get the same punishment as slanderers.
