Quote:I beg to differ. As I said just now to Thwoth, with knowledge comes responsibility, and atheism in my view represents a form of knowledge.Ok, what knowledge? How is lack of belief considered a form of knowledge? Please enlighten me.
Quote:So, IMO, the sheer fact of knowing, as an atheist, that most of the population of the world is held in thrall by various forms of lying bigotry, makes it my moral duty to try and do something about it.Knowing? I don't know jack shit. I'm 99% sure it's all shite but I don't have absolute knowledge on it. There is no "moral duty". Being an atheist simply means being without belief in a god or gods. That is it.
Quote:That's just copping out.Hardly, atheism is one thing and one thing alone. One who is without belief in god's existence. That is all.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
