Pseudo-Atheism, this one is for you...

RE: Pseudo-Atheism, this one is for you...
(July 28, 2014 at 1:45 pm)Quantum1Connect Wrote: Atheism should not be "I don't believe in God (gods)." Atheism is a schema and should always be "I don't believe in God (god's) because if-then." Atheism is not a product of its own, it is a product of skepticism, rational, and reason. Without these, what I would call, three pillars of atheism, atheism would cease to be.

A more generalized form would be "I don't believe in X because if-then". Gods don't get any more of pass than skepticism around an auto-loan, a job applicant or what a politician says.

I don't believe in *anything* without good reason and evidence. God claims are no more or less subject to that rule than anything else. Some of the most skeptical people I know are believers, except when it comes to their own pet God belief.

An odd quirk of humans that is.
