According to Question Mark in another thread...
"How dare you tell us what it is that we believe. Atheism is by definition the lack of belief in a god or gods, and you or anyone else assuming what we believe beyond that without consulting us as to our individual beliefs is disingenuous, and frankly I would personally say a premise for building a strawman fallacy. "
So is the author guilty of being disingenuous and creating a premise for a strawman? Shouldn't you guys set this fellow atheist straight? Apparently no one told him that atheism is a lack of belief and he didn't consult with you when defining atheism.
Do you not get that atheism does not have a rulebook, nor is every atheist required to fit the dictionary definition? Do you not understand this yet? It's a personal belief, there's no set of criteria one must fulfill before being let into the club. Each atheist will most likely have his or her own distinct spin on the belief, which is why you dictating to us what it is we believe is both disingenuous and rude.
How are you not fucking getting this, seriously?
