It is really very difficult to believe that you have never encountered a debate or discussion that includes an atheist’s claim that theists have to be indoctrinated to believe in the existence of a god, and it is further difficult to understand why you think someone would somehow generate the belief in the existence of gods if they were not informed of the description of a supernatural being - that is all that doctrine needs to be, a description.
It would be extremely difficult to conceptualize the existence of a supernatural being causing the experience of the isolated individual.
It just does not make sense. There is an error in the definition of “theism” that you champion to be valid and indisputably true. Your failure to recognize the error is what dogma is.
The definitions of words are a subclass of doctrine, and sibling class to rules and law - they are related, they are not unrelated, or distant in semantic relevance. Errors in definitions are the symptoms of the lack of a valid knowledge classification system to organize the semantic structure of the relativity of the existence of entities, including abstract entities for organizing people’s behavior.
You do not know the biased crony qualification standards for employment at dictionary editing businesses. To you, because you do not know, you believe it is a very well controlled review process of experts who are not biased somehow. You should notice that American Atheist publications does issue a notice that past dictionary editions have published some egregious definitions of atheism. And it is understandable that you are unable to formulate an argument challenging the authority of American Atheists to determine that the definition that they approve of is a valid definition. You, are just not skilled enough in semantics and ontology - where as, I am.
It would be extremely difficult to conceptualize the existence of a supernatural being causing the experience of the isolated individual.
You are in lala land, because your perception of truth is being challenged, and you are afraid that it will cause the demise of something, further challenging your perception of reality, rather than recognizing that the correction guides towards a better perception. Which is where I am - enhanced critical thinking skills.
I am the only person able to recognize that the three-part separation of government theory is erroneously deployed in our governing system, and that such an error, causes several blatant problems, one of which, leads to the perpetual partisan strategies for power that leave large portions of the citizenry dissatisfied, or otherwise misinformed of the reasoning for regulations, causing their inability to reason, which leads to the social disorderliness we endure, rather than the approach to domestic tranquility that our federal government is commissioned to pursue.
How about you? What has your sense of critical thinking and reasoning lead you to recognize as the problem with society, and the corrective measures to resolve the problem?
I suggest that you avoid the suggestion of the dismantling of theism, because you have had plenty of opportunity to make suggestions, and it is obvious that independent atheists cannot formulate a campaign any better than that which the established atheist activities have pursued, otherwise we would know about it. Furthermore, such ideas are going to require you to recognize the inevitable indoctrination processes, which you do not want to experiment with.
What do you suggest to make this a better world?
