Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Argumet

[siderant]You have no business telling anyone else how they should feel about metaphysical purpose. Being an atheist doesn't have anything to do with that. Are you seriously trying to say atheists cannot believe in having a predestined purpose? Have you learned nothing since you got here?[/siderant]

Oh but I can. Rather you cannot tell me I cannot. I am also aware of the general hypocrisy of the atheistic position and have argued it extensively in another thread (which was my first thread). You see if you are to have a justified disagreement with the existence of a thing it will be founded on the lack of direct explicit empirical evidence. When such evidence is missing you may say the thing does not exists (though you are wrong in saying as much, it is at least reasonable). Well metaphysical purpose is equally devoid of direct explicit empirical evidence. Thus if you do not wish to be a hypocrite you should also hold it does not exists. The fact that you say atheist can believe there is a metaphysical PREDESTINED (protestant much?) purpose without evidence while not believing in a god for lack of evidence is text book hypocrisy.

However, I have not learned anything since being here. Not to say that anyone is stupid, but comments by many illustrate ignorance to a far greater degree then enlightenment. In all honesty I thought higher of atheist before coming to this board.

You missed my point entirely. An atheist is a person who does not believe in any gods. That is the entire definition, you can add to it if you like but you will no longer be defining an atheist.

I don't personally believe in a predestined purpose. I don't personally believe in metaphysical purpose at all. But being and atheist doesn't stop someone from believing that.

Atheists can believe in anything except a god, and who said they can't be hypocrites, idiots, or very strange people? There are atheists who call themselves "spiritual" really.
