Is Lack of Belief the Best You Can Do?

[downbeatplumb]

“If a mere ‘lack of belief in god’ is sufficient to be an atheist, then babies are atheists. You might say “yes, they are, or at least were before religion got its mitts on them!” But on this definition chimps are also atheists. As are dolphins, dogs, and doors. They all lack belief in a god.”

So Chad do you believe in Kaparot?

If you don't know what it is I am guessing the answer is no.

This would by default make you an akaparotist.

But if I were to tell you that it is a jewish practice of grabbing a chicken by its neck to transfer your sins to it, then you can make a more reasoned take on it. That's were I am with the concept of god. I have seen, I have laughed and I reject it.
