About atheism

And? Are they wrong?

I don't subscribe to any of them, since I'm not interested in atheism at all and don't need any posterheads to tell me about it, but in this they're right. Apart from the fact that these meatbags have a life of their own and every right to enjoy it. Just as any other animal has.

Atheism is an illusion made by arrogant people who just hate idea of a God. Reality dictates that in seemingly endless universe anything is possible - unicorns, dragons, sexy elf mages and God.


Bottom line is that people are egoistic and religion still exist mostly because of the fear of hell. Hell is unbearable idea and just like unicorns it cannot be denied as false. Atheism doesn't exist. Agnosticism does.

Actually, atheism is a statement of belief.  Properly speaking, atheism boils down to the claim 'I don't believe in gods', not 'Gods cannot exist'.  And before you misunderstand, please get that this is not an avowal of agnosticism.

Your next statement is dead wrong as well.  Everything is not possible.  Married bachelors, spheres with right angles, and metallic wood, to name a few.  The Principle Of Non-contradiction states, in part, that a thing cannot be itself and its opposite at the same time.  Since definitions of gods always contain contradictions (for instance, a god cannot be both merciful and just) gods don't exist, no matter how seemingly endless the universe is.

You got statement three largely wrong as well.  There are plenty of religions that are thriving and have no concept of hell.  As to whether it can be denied as false, it certainly can, at least in Christianity.

The notion that 'atheism doesn't exist' is simply ludicrous.  Atheism is a lack of belief in gods.  I lack belief in gods, therefore atheism exists.

You're a very stupid person.
