"How do I know God exists?" - the first step to atheism

[Cosmic Ape]

Ughh, do you really need to write this much dribble to make yourself sound philosophical and sound like you support science when everything science has shown us shows no soul, no spirit, no connective spirit in the cosmos, nothing. It's all just sub-atomic particles and I'm sorry you cant come to terms with your own mortality and you have to cling to something that makes you feel good like a theist.

I've already posted this several times, but I'll do it again for your sake.

I have studiously read the forum rules and definitions of "Atheism" the very day that I joined this forum. I wanted to make sure that I was in compliance with what this web site expects of its members.

So yes, I am an "Atheist". In fact, according to a definition given on these very forums I'm a "Strong Atheist" or "Gnostic Atheist" (i.e. proclaiming to have knowledge that certain Gods definitely do not exist.

But yet, you blatantly label Atheists who dont buy into your spiritual bullshit (which reeks of religious undertones) as non-imaginative when I could name you hundreds of Atheists more interesting than you. You're an uninformed little troll putting stuff like that in a sig or claiming it's an ill-defined term when it's pretty simple.

I'm definitely a strong atheist when it comes to Gods like those of Greek and Hebrew mythology, etc.

But you're still a follower in bullshit that they also believe in, spiritualism. And dont spout off a bunch of differences from your views and theres because its the same principle, judgement or a being who judges who gets an afterlife and who do you let in your afterlife? do mushrooms get an afterlife? do snails? flies? rats? Your views have as many holes as religious peoples.

But at the same time, I recognize that I am also an Agnostic Spiritualist. In other words, I am open-minded to a possible spiritual essence of reality and proclaim that this cannot be ruled-out based on current human knowledge. (the italicized part of the above defintion of "Strong Atheist" actually permits a Strong Atheist to also be agnostic toward other types of "gods" (or spirituality).

Except Science pretty much can rule out spiritual nonsense. I just told you several times that we have proven away the soul with medical science and everything we know points away from a spirit or some kind of vague spiritual connection you keep trying to shove down our throats.

In fact, I personally prefer to refer to that as "Agnostic Spiritualist".

So in my Religions views I list myself as: Gnostic Atheists, Agnostic Spiritualist.

No, you're a weak atheist in my book. You're on the brink of being converted to Raelism or some shit like that.

I claim that certain types of Gods cannot exist (i.e the biblical God, etc.), whilst simultaneously keeping an open mind to other types of spiritual concepts that I personally claim cannot be ruled out by current human knowledge in any field of study, including the sciences.

Yet you believe in a primitive mythology like they did, aka spiritualism.

I personally lean toward the Eastern Mystical view of spirituality as being the most likely candidate for the truth of reality.

Just become a Hindu or Buddhist and get it over with if you think they have the "truth for reality" you're going to take your reality from primitive people over qualified educated scientists. You're a buffooon. Oh, and let me guess, Eastern Astrology is also the correct astrology?...

So there's no inconsistency at my end at all.

Except ya know, everything you've said. You might as well believe in Krishna, dude.
