About atheism

@Purple.

Speaking only for myself, I -love- the idea of some gods.  There are alot of them...and for every crapgod I don't care for like Yahweh there are dozens of comic, tragic, or just downright awesome gods that I thoroughly enjoy.  Doesn't help me to believe in any of them, and I've never understood why people think it's relevant to belief in either direction.

Is that how belief works? If, for example...I hate the idea of people starving.....does that mean that I will somehow not believe that people are starving? If I really love the idea of peppered bacon, does that mean that I will begin to believe that by feeding a sow jalepenos I can make that happen?

Is that how belief works for you..in your experience?

Yes. For example agnostic position is a default. You add religious fate and a person is sure like its a fact that God exists. You add "Atheistic" fate and person says "I decided that God doesn't exist".

You would do well to stick to speaking for yourself, and letting others speak for themselves. Imputing a position wrongfully to another person is simply rude, not to mention unwise.

If you want to know about my atheism, feel free to ask. It doesn't comport with your overly-narrow, stereotypical portrayal, so if you are going to ask, be ready to listen.
