What do moderates think Jesus died for?

No, i'm just telling them what category their particular beliefs fall into. If someone came in here saying they believe in God, pointing out that this person is a theist isn't telling them what they are thinking. The person can protest all he wants trying to suggest that though he believes in God, he's not a theist, but he'd be wrong. Theism implies a belief in god/s, while atheism is a lack of such beliefs.

You can tell me your a fish all you want, I'm not denying that you think this about yourself, but you're not a fish.

Quote:igtheism dismisses atheism, as atheism gives far too much credit to ancient (mostly anthropomorphized) memes that are undeserving of even a second's attention or energy.
Comparative Mythology knows about the human origins of every one of the gods cooked up in human history.

Please elaborate, how does a lack of belief in god/s (atheism) give far too much credit to ancient memes, etc...?


Quote:Until, or unless, (which will never happen) a coherent definition of any god is proposed, the concept is meaningless and undeserving of even a label.
Do we need to call ourselves apinksparklyunicornists ?

No, but I lack a belief in apinksparklyunicornists, and if there was a predefined label representative of folks who lack such a belief, i'd fall under that label.
