Accepting/Rejecting "Atheism" as a label.

RE: Accepting/Rejecting "Atheism" as a label.
If you could separate truths from beliefs, you would be a god of phenomenal cosmic power. But you aren't, and I'm not here to fulfill your wishes Smile

And no doubt one day we shall invent antigravity, and will never be tethered down again Angel

Why would I disagree with physics? I happen to have a great deal of faith in the scientific method. You just have considerably more of it, to the point of possibly undermining the purpose of the scientific method... no longer seeking the best answer we can have, obsessing instead over how correct the answers we have are. Reality check: we've barely scratched the surface Smile

Solid assumptions. What else do I value? This is better than paying for a crystal ball reading. It's cheaper and can be disregarded just as easily.

Solid assumption on the first line as well. I shall for the last time refer you to people's beliefs about the flat earth in illustrating that beliefs and truth are not the same. It's not a tough concept. You think synonyms can have slight differences - these aren't even synonyms, for a reason: they're entirely different.

I guess as long as you have a respect for the evidence for global warming and evolution, and respect for gay people, I shouldn't really care what your spiritual beliefs are. That's not exactly how I feel, so it's something I need to work on. But I'm done on this side discussion. Cheers.
Religious but open minded about the arguments of atheists? You may have spent your whole life learning about the arguments for religion. May I present to you 10 segmented hours for the case against it?

What you value isn't up to me, value being wholly subjective.

Yeah, disregard what you like, doesn't stop me from being right Smile

Considering you are the one who brought up the argument that synonyms make things identical... Angel

Yeah, I'll go ahead and disregard this as being more stupidity written by a retard. Wonder how cheese goes with that Thinking

Oh? And what if on a sudden I tell you that global warming is a hoax, evolution an elaborate joke, and that gay people are worthless? Does that somehow change the validity of those beliefs? ROFLOL

You never started a discusion, only a monologue. And me, I've only made quaint commentary on the ridiculousness of it all. Yeah boy: you certainly have got work to do. Not that you will, ya lazy bastard FSM Grin

Lol, now you want to change what monologue and discussion mean too? Your internal questioning isn't getting you to better conclusions. I was actually trying to be more congenial about this, but you seem to delight in making bad conclusions and laughing hysterically.

It wouldn't change the validity. I never said it would. There would simply be more reason to try to dispel the ignorance. The last word is yours. Hope someone read it to make it worth your time.

Loaded Question,
Ridiculous Assertion,
Outright Lie,
Poor ability to observe.

But you've got me: I do delight in laughter. As should anyone who enjoys this world Smile

I get the last word? Alright, let's not waste it by debunking that peice of crap, but instead celebrate it with glorious gay music!

I think we should call ourselves nonthiests, it doesn't have that negative association that people have given athiest.
