The Irrational Nature Of Atheism - An Explanation Of God, Gods And Goddesses
#41
RE: The Irrational Nature Of Atheism - An Explanation Of God, Gods And Goddesses
Quote:Seriously? You only deny those things you know exists?
I'm saying you can't deny the existence of something you really don't believe exists. I'm not denying 'god', I've rejected the claim that he exists. That's all.

Quote:I disagree. There is a need for specifics, if fact that would solve the problem. There are billions of gods and goddesses. Your attention is focused upon 1 or two that allegedly don't exist while at the same time the generic term "god or gods" is used to define atheism.
Atheism simply means 'without' 'theism'. Theism = belief in god. A-theism = Without belief in god.
When I say I don't believe in 'god' I'm saying I don't believe some higher power, universe making prat exists. Nuff said.

Quote:Because it indicates a lack of knowledge of exactly what a god is. It isn't specific.
Total nonsense.
God is just a concept invented by very religious men. Seeing as I'm unconvinced that he/it's anything else.

Quote:A god doesn't have to be supernatural. A god can be human, mortal, an inanimate object.
Define these other gods and I'll tell you if I believe in them. Tongue

Quote:Hmmm. You need to distinguish more accurately the difference between disagreement and dishonesty. I'm not dishonest just because I don't agree with you.
I think you're a liar based on what you've posted. The benefit of the doubt has just been retracted.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
