Atheism is not a belief!!
#54
RE: Atheism is not a belief!!
What you call "confidence" I call "arrogance," and the dictionary is far more supportive of me, given the fact that it defines arrogance as: "offensive display of superiority or self-importance; overbearing pride. " Given how self-righteous and self-important Christians are ("the creator of the universe has time for me personally at any moment of my pitiful little speck of a molecule of an existence and arranges everything just for me!"), it's arrogance you speak of. Not confidence. If it were confidence, there'd be a basis in it, one you could readily and easily demonstrate but get this, bible-thumper: You can't, or you'd have done so by now. But you live by "faith." As in, without any basis do you believe in something wholeheartedly and totally. The very definition of what you consider most important is basically admitting "I have no reason to believe this but I'm a gullible sap so I buy into it wholeheartedly." Why is not relevant when you know how. How, when answered, also answers why, and the answer for why is extremely mundane, always, because that's pretty much what "why" is. Mundane BS we human beings attach to things to try to boost our own egos. Beat your fist against your chest harder and howl louder, monkey; I don't believe you're the biggest ape with the biggest banana yet.
