Quote:So what would you call someone who has the belief, "No gods exist"? Are they not atheist?Gnostic atheist.
Quote:Theism isn't a belief system.Belief in a higher power, deity, creator, supreme being that governs all. Seems like a belief system to me.
Quote:To my thinking, "Theism" is the class of belief systems which include the belief "At least one god exists". If a belief system does not include the belief "At least one god exists", then it belongs to the class Atheism.As longs as you're not suggesting that atheism is a belief system, world view and all that incorrect definitions we haven't got a problem.....
Quote:Boy, arguing here is super easy! You just get to say stuff, and then you don't have to support it or anything!Yeah like you are now. Name a nasty event like murder and the sort caused by atheism. We've already pointed out Stalin's rein was all about control. He wouldn't of murdered countless atheists along with theists if he was only interested in removing religion. He's a dictator making sure he stays in power.
So, anything else? Corrupt communist dictators BTW tend to kill people (regardless of belief) to stay in power. Just a little heads up.

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.
