[Serious] Atheist Dogma

[Prof.Lunaphiles]

A person can have a concept of theism and deism before anyone ever presents either claim to them.

The first people to believe in gods must have.

No, they had to think about it. They had to go through a series of experiences that they could not explain other than a supernatural entity causing the events. They could not possibly magically recognize that there is something that is doing it all, after just one encounter with an unexplainable experience. They cannot observe a burning bush and from that conclude that a god made the land and the ocean and trees and on and on and on . . .

Furthermore, theism is an ontology suggesting that a supernatural dimension creates reality. Ontologies cannot be devised/designated in opposition to a defined ontology. Ontologies are essentially a list of all that exists.

Some theistic beliefs include this claim, not all.  Theism is not an ontology suggesting any such thing.  It is the belief in personal intervening gods.

I do not care how they erroneously/inadequately construct their doctrine, if they believe that there are gods doing things, then that god(s) is the original entity of all that it controls, which is an ontology.
