Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
RE: Atheism's Definition - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(November 13, 2013 at 5:18 am)Vincenzo "Vinny" G. Wrote: The entire community of "atheists" who are telling you this definition is true are talking nonsense. They are either ignorant of what atheism means, or they have succumbed to convenience over rationality.

Can you tell me why, when someone's view is covered by agnosticism, they want to label themselves and others as atheists?

Oh and why is the traditional definition more rational?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
