Should Atheism proper include scepticism?

So you are suggesting that there is something beyond everything? There's a whole lot of nothing beyond everything Smile

Quote:To exist means there needs to be something or some quality, since "god" is "nothing" then neither can exist.
Nothingness is the absence of things... and therefore it is also the state of there being no things. God has many definitions, and we can be 100% positive both gods and nothingness exist... as ideas. If the god's existence is possible, then quantum theory. We might be able to figure out what is 'possible' for our reality... but this is not to state that <insert metaphysical _______ here>.

Quote:There you have my arguing logical statement:
"God is nothing but little more than an idea".
I contest that. For many theists... 'God' is their reality, he is a feeling, he is present everywhere around them. He is no mere idea.

To us: 'God' registers as nonsense. But then this is our reality, and not the theist's. Smile

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
