ok then how would you catigorize this belief? it's not physical that's for sure. i believe it is a spiritual belief b/c God is spiritual and how can you have an opinion about something spiritual if it's not you don't hold any spiritual beliefs? it's like saying you don't believe in politics but you still vote.
passionatefool Wrote:The "belief" that there is no god or deity is the lack of spirituality
how can you dabate religion without taking a side? how can you take a side on religion without holding a religious belief?
passionatefool Wrote:To think or belief there is no god make it a religion, then you have a lot of religions. You are abuddha, avisnu, and so on, and all of your nonbelief in each of these deities make it a religion, so you are not a protestant, you have many religions.
no, believing in one god and not another is not the same as believing there is no god. saying athism isn't a belief is like saying 0 isn't a number. just b/c it's not possitive or negative does not mean it's not a number.
but you do hold a good arguement passionatefool
I can agree that in binary terms theism could be seen as "1" and atheism as "o".
But atheism and theism are not about numbers, they are about beliefs, and lack of belief.
