Only a fundamentalist atheist would even create such a thread

Don't they realize atheism has no dogmas, therefore there can't be any fundamentalism? Stop using that word theists, I don't think it means what you think it means! no, I don't think you do. "fundementalist" is indepenfant of belief. and caiming "there is no god" is about as dogmatic as one can get. But you keep thinking you understand. Sometimes it aint the movie, its the projector that has the problem.

If someone were to make the claim "there is no god" and stick to it without providing evidence, then yes, you can call that a fundamentalist belief. However the vast majority of atheists make no such claim, and simply reject what theists claim.

Lack of belief in gods, the single rule.  Quote:What is zeh rule again? Quote:Lack of belief in gods, the single rule. That's not a rule, that's just atheism per se, it's like saying the heart beating is a condition to be alive. If there is no belief, you're an atheist, even if you dislike it. The difference is the lack of belief in gods can be questioned every time, I could search for god and start believing, there is no punishment for it in my optic, therefore fundamentalism doesn't exist. Fundamentalism would be if I believed no gods exist and continued to do so despite evidence to prove the supernatural being presented. I don't consider lack of belief in gods as a rule to atheism, it's not a rule, atheism doesn't have any rules or dogmas, the lack of belief is what constitutes atheism. Not to mention not all atheists lack belief in gods, some atheists believe no gods exist (gnostic atheists), there goes your single rule

Losty-chan hehe I'm not Japanese. :p I don't think not believing in gods is a rule...not for me. My only rule is that I don't believe in anything unless I believe in it, because I believe in it. If that counts as a dogma then I guess I'm a fundamentalist Losty....because I just do what I feel like doing and believe what I believe. Usually my beliefs are based on evidence, but always they're based on whatever I actually believe at the time.
