He thinks that for someone to lack belief in a god or gods, it requires faith?
Simply put, an atheist is one who does not believe in a god, and putting agnostic in front of that is simply stating that not only do you lack belief in god but admit that god's existence is unknown/unknowable. He thinks this requires faith.
Yet it doesn't take faith to lack belief in anything else, this is where he engages special pleading and has even jumped to argument ad populum, which is a fallacious argument.
I think that about covers it.
Anyone want to add to this?
Yeah, My Sig
I don't quite understand what doofidus is hoping to achieve with these posts. All he seems to be trying to do is label certain types of athiests under his own definitions and is coming across as a condescending ass wipe. I think this guy is a POE in all honesty. Sounds like he's trying to act better than everyone else and pat himself on the back because he's supposedly more 'open minded' than all of us dumb 'FUNDAMENTALIST ATHEISTS'. Lmfao seriously doofidus? Making out that there are fundamentalist atheists? Really? Lol this is comedy right here...
Oh and do forgive me for being a bit, how shall we say, 'tough' with you. I sure hope you don't label me as one of those fundamentalist atheists.
