I'm sorry for that.
Now, you can keep displaying your lack of comprehension all you want...I have patience, I will work with you.
Let's correct a term first. Atheism isn't a belief. It is simply a lack of a belief. I'm not going to hijack Christianity and tell you what you believe so do us the same courtesy if you would.
Anyway, so, let's scrap my argument altogether and just go with yours. That's cool. It still makes the same point. Atheists lack a belief in any supreme being. Most other religions lack a belief in your specific version of god. Insomuch as they lack belief in your god, they share our worldview in that regard. You're limiting the scope of your original statement to try and downplay this, but that doesn't make it any less true.
By the way, I wish I hadn't fucked the pizza. The cheese burned my scrotum.
Quote:At least my belief is conceivable. I can't even conceive the thought of infinity being traversed, inanimate matter coming to life, and consciousness coming from unconsciousness.You're creating a strawman to tear down. Atheism doesn't make assertions about where consciousness comes from, how the universe began, or the truth about reality. It is simply lack a belief in a god. That's it. Atheism makes no claims to special knowledge regarding anything else.
You can't even conceive of those things, and if you can, you can't conceive of it occurring NATURALLY.
