Question for "Hard Atheists" - Do You Oppose Religion In General?
#16
RE: Question for "Hard Atheists" - Do You Oppose Religion In General?
I always thought that a Hard Atheist is someone who says "There is DEFINITELY without a shadow of a doubt no supernatural god(s)", while a soft atheist is one who says "It is incredibly improbable that god(s) exists".

In light of this, I can't say I consider one more likely that the other to be anti-theist.

I would call myself a soft atheist merely because I am suspect of any absolute statement of truth, but I am definitely mildly anti-theist if the brand of theism is promoting something nasty (which is probably a longer list than the OP's).

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
