Can a potato be an atheist?
#12
RE: Can a potato be an atheist?
This one is easy. To believe or not believe, you need to have a proposition to believe/not believe.
Obviously if a new born baby or a potato can't have any concept of the proposition "there is a god", their lack of belief is null and void.

Atheism of course is the rejection of theism - it's even in the name.

An atheist for me can only be a person that has been told about god, and doesn't believe it.

I'd be extremely surprised.

Quote:Would we weep and mourn and cry and beg for forgiveness and try to become Christians hoping God wouldn't notice?

Would I fuck. I'd be fucking outraged and knowing it was true couldn't wait to meet the invisible, petty, murdering bastard.

Quote:Of course not. We'd remain atheists.

Sarcasm fail, because if god was proven true, you couldn't be an atheist.

Quote:So let's not kid ourselves that we're doing this for the evidence. I know I'm not.

Not sure anybody really cares what you think Vinny, because you're a poe. A bipolar one at that.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
