That is why I asked for clarification before when another individual objected to my use of that term, but I received no input as to how one would like for me to describe the said view. My reasoning is that it is how one views the world or their reality. If you want to get picky with words that's fine, but please instead of just telling me not to use it give me another way to refer to it. Thank you!(June 1, 2021 at 12:03 pm)johndoe122931 Wrote: Well, I never said it was an inappropriate question just not the appropriate thread. I suppose I would be willing to get into such a conversation on another thread just not this one because it will lead down a road that will take us away from the OP. Also, I would much rather have Abaddon speak for himself instead of somebody else speaking for him. If you would like to have this conversation on another thread that would be great because you are greatly misconceived on what my thoughts are on Zeus and other gods and would be very surprised as to my answer or maybe not. Lets us not assume and take this matter up in another thread. Thank you!
Ok, if you want people to speak for themselves as individuals, AWESOME. Then you should also then understand why you can't call "atheist" a "worldview."

Abaddon is merely trying to demonstrate why your logic is bad. What you are doing is selection bias. There are a myriad of god claims you rightfully reject. Try thinking about why you reject Zeus and not the one you believe to be true.
Abaddon is merely saying you reject Zeus for the same reason Abaddon rejects the one you believe in. The only difference between a theist and an atheist is that we reject one more god claim than you do.
I'm a guess that it's because the question of why you hate God was a different thread.
To be pedantic I believe in the concept of God, I just don't believe the concept is correct or refers to anything outside of the human mind. I suppose a major turning point was taking classes on world religions and logical fallacies in the same semester (in my mid thirties). Hilarity ensued.
I do apologize I am just trying my best to stay within the guidelines, rules, and regulations on how we must conduct ourselves within these threads. I don't mean to be difficult I'm just trying to do what is right and respect the forums and everybody in them. Thank you for your post!
