There seems to be another conversation going on but anyway...
I'm still in shock from learning about atheist churches.
I did some digging and I've still got my face in my hands just shaking my head saying WTF.
It's like a religious cult without a God. Well it's definitely a church without a God... I seriously need time to get my head around that first b4 saying anymore...
I feel u guys don't want to put into that belief box.
U dont want people like me to say "well it's a belief just like theism".
I'd say atheism is a belief based on lack of evidence. Of course I accept that's not how people define it so I'll move on.
Im willing to continue discussion but I'm asking u guys to give me definition in simple terms.
Some people say oh their only words. Watch a proper debate at college. Half the time they are defining terms. Also in court terms are always defined.
So I don't buy this don't get caught up in definitions. I think it might also be a logic fallacy of some kind.
Without us all understanding the definition, a logical conversation is impossible.
Do I refer to it as the atheist position or view? Is there any objections to that? Based on lack of evidence??? U guys tell me...
Christianity is a religion based on faith
Agnosticism is a position based on knowledge
Atheism is a " " " " based on " " " "
Thats all I want. A clear simple reference to the American atheists definition for me to work with.
If I'm wasting my time looking for a logical conversation here please just tell me to move on...
