I thought we were talking about the obsessed ones.Many of the statements about atheists in this thread have the appearance of gross generalisations (or are generalised enough to run the risk of warping definitions) so I'm making sure we're staying specific.
Quote:yes, fundamental atheist is a subset of atheism. I totally agree. I thought that was a given.I was very precise in my language to try & avoid the error in your statement here: there's no such thing as 'fundamental atheism' in the way you mean it. You're conflating 'antitheism' (opposition to theism) with 'atheism' (absence of theism). So antithesim is a subset of atheism but (and here's the crucial part) so is any other value system except theism. Because atheism holds no value systems, in & of itself, it has no 'fundamentals'.
Quote:yes, to your last part too. The last time I said ignore them, it won't matter, the flower child took over and screwed us all.
Quote:I get over zealous sometimes. You are correct.Fair enough.
