Right?
Well well Mister here we got a big problem with your judgment.
I do judge according what I see or hear not according what a particular term suppose to mean.
As far as the atheists on this forum keep on spouting dogma after dogma I judge talking in consideration
these dogmas.
Nothing more nothing less.
And my post pointed out that this forum isn't remotely representative of all atheists, which you completely ignored, because that's really inconvenient for your claim and you wouldn't know intellectual honesty if it bit you. Only an idiot generalizes from what they see and hear when they know what they see and hear isn't representative. It's like going to a yoga studio in Texas and judging Americans by what you see and hear there.
I already did comment this point.
I did say that so far I never encountered (in this forum or elsewhere) a single atheist that believe in the
ghosts or reincarnation.
Maybe there are some but I never came across one so far.
I have seen different types of atheists behaviour from the demented idiot with the F word on his mouth
all the time like the minimalist to other atheists that never swear and are quite good and intelligent but this is just the way that they express themselves which has nothing to do with the way they think about life issues.
Quote:A dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.
Wrong.
1) A dogma can be a single so called principle.
It doesn't have to be a set of principles.
2) It doesn't have to be laid down.
Anybody can express a dogma without such a dogma having to be laid down.
3) It doesn't have to be express by an authority.
Anybody can create a dogma.
Quote:Atheists don't have one of those. What you are calling 'multiple dogmas' are known to the rest of humanity as 'opinions'. What the majority of atheist members on this board have in common in the way of opinions is called 'consensus'. Consensus is arrived at by persuading people that your opinions are correct, hopefully (if you value such things) with evidence and sweet reason. 'Opinion' and 'consensus' are not synonyms for 'dogma'.
Wrong again son.
An opinion is there for all to challenge.
A dogma is not.
A dogma as Sarkar said is an idea turned into total truth locked inside a corral in which nobody can enter to challenge.
When atheists say again and again that the consciousness is the product of the brain even without any solid evidence to back that idea then it become a dogma.
Quote:Your judgment is an opinion, and in your case, extremely poorly supported.
The time will tell mate.
