Quote:I would hope most atheists use some form of rationale to reach their conclusion. Odd you claim they don't.Didn't say atheists don't. People have their reasons for not believing, I have mine. It's just that materialism isn't a requirement to be an atheist. I could have spiritual beliefs and still be an atheist. Because 'atheist' means without 'theism', without belief in god. That's why there is an A in front of the word 'theism'. It means 'without'.
Now, please quote me where I claimed that atheists don't use some form of rationale/reason.
Quote:Mainly because you claim atheism consists of saying I don't believe but not applying any perspective to say you don't believe.Atheism is just about the lack of belief in god. There is no application to it.
An atheist can give you a reason why they don't believe, however to be an atheist you don't have to be a materialist or anything. It simply means without belief. Why is this so hard for you to grasp?
You obviously don't know what atheism is.
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.
