The concept destroyed would be theirs, and the imagined destruction would come from your efforts.Are you referring to the sandwich worshippers realization that what they are worshipping does not fit the definition of a god, but some other woo instead and therefore their concept is destroyed? I'm not sure I know what you mean.
Quote:What else do you disbelieve in? Would you refuse to positively assert all other things you disbelieve in? That's what I don't get. I don't see people calling themselves a soft, weak, passive, agnostic anything else. Then again, maybe people are doing that and I've only been seeing it here. I'm not sure about it, so I guess I'm quite agnostic on that one!(July 28, 2010 at 9:12 pm)Scented Nectar Wrote: Do you 'weak' atheists out there have anything at all (non supernatural stuff) that you are comfortable in your disbelief with to the point where you can positively assert your disbelief in it?Good question; I strongly assert my disbelief, I cannot state the sentence, and positive claim, "There is no god." Were I to do that, the burden of proof would be on me to prove that there is no god. I simply reject the claim that there is a god. No disclaimer required.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...
