Why don't some people understand lack of belief?
#50
RE: Why don't some people understand lack of belief?
Quote:And I can appreciate someone like you who isn't afraid to state their opinion forthrightly. 
You confuse fear with honesty and you praise only what suits your agenda 


Quote:I don't understand why so may atheists are ashamed to say plainly that they don't believe in God.

I'm not ashamed seriously get that through your head 


Quote: Instead, like Khem, they have to go into these long-winded explanations making all kinds of subtle distinctions
You mean actually explain his position rather then let you lump him into your ideological box .


Quote:, like gnostic versus agnostic atheists.
Which exist and are two distinct kinds of atheist 


Quote:Who cares?

We do . If you don't then why should we care what you think.


Quote:Either you believe in God or you don't. 

Nope you either convinced by the case made for god or your not . But weather your certain or your claiming their is no god as a knowledge claim is a whole other matter .



Quote:It really isn't more complicated than that.

Yes yes it is


Quote: I'm not scared to say I don't believe in fairies,
Can you prove gnostically their are no fairies anywhere in whole of existence . I think not .

Quote:because whether fairies exist or not has no bearing on any fundamental question
How do you know? how do you know fairies are not answer to a thousand critical questions . 


Quote:and there's no serious reason to believe that they do
Just as much reason to think your god exists 


Quote:I don't feel the need to call non-fairy belief some weaselly "lack of belief" default position.
It's not weaselly if you did nor is it when atheists do it . It's an honest position . Show it wrong or quit whining. 

Quote:I'm not terrified of the question "Why not?
Neither is anyone else.Fuck your an arrogant cunt Wooter . Who needs to make shit up  about people to make your pathetic position seem viable .

Similarly, are you a gnostic theist like..say..Mystic..or an agnostic theist..like my wife?
Your talking to a wall Khem  Dodgy 

You refuse to live in his convenient box . So out comes the slander and character assassination.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
