Why do you continue to lie about this when you have been corrected?
It's always nice to hear from you. I hope you're well.

If we use "belief" to mean "something I hold to be true," then I think everyone here acknowledges that they have beliefs.
What I've been talking about is that some people say their atheism is not based on any belief. That is, they have no standard for evaluating God-claims, they just reject them for no reason.
So far both Bucky Ball and Gae have made this claim.
Bucky seems to be gone now, and I've given up on Gae. If one or both of them has adjusted his claim recently that would be fine, but I'm bored with talking about the whole thing.
Quote:Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists aren't just low-hanging fruit. They're a threat to civil society and democratic governance, because they believe in a God that gives them marching orders.
Then by all means fight those people. But making overly general claims about Christianity doesn't help to fight them.
