The redneck strike again.

[Little Rik]

Simple, Rikky. Just read the rest of the entries for the meaning of atheism, not just the one that agrees with you. There will always be several uses for every word with slightly to greatly varied meaning. The fact of the matter is that while there are gnostic atheists on this site, the great majority of us hold no positive beliefs regarding gods and therefore have nothing to justify. QED

And here how the Oxford online dictionary defines "atheism":

Disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

I'm not used to seeing just one meaning per word like this. The good old paper versions always listed many. I imagine the alternative meanings are there but I'm not sure how to access them online.

You also choose the version that suit you best, don't you?
Philosophy is a way to understand how to get there.
There where the wisdom lie.
Now how the hell can you have a philosophy forum when you show no interest of whatsoever in getting where the wisdom lie?
What's the point?
How can you ask someone to prove whether God exist when you show no interest in understanding the road to wisdom?
I asked you you guys time and time again where the road of continually learning and improving your lives may eventually take you to but you show no interest.
You are expecting that someone put a red carpet that lead to the wisdom when you have no idea what wisdom is?
Do you ever ponder your thoughts to the fact that physical-material evidence and spiritual evidence are two different types of evidence?
Grow up whatever, moving with blinkers on your eyes wan't take you very far.

Denial of beliefs is not a claim either.

To deny something it need some sort of evidence.
You can say that you don't give a damn whether God exist or not but to deny something it obviously need some evidence.
How it is possible to deny something without understanding the issue?
It just doesn't make any sense.
