From atheism to tentative agnosticism

[Whateverist]

Well, the issue for me is what is true, rather than what will or won't bother people.

It should also be noted that most atheists who argue against the substantial views of various religions are actually 'morally' outraged by such views. they are appalled by the moral misguidedness of the religious and concerned that a religous world view can inspire people to behave in appalling ways that they would not otherwise have contemplated. All, I have to say, entirely legitimate concerns. However, the atheist is inconsistent in having such concerns, for their moral outrage presupposes the existence of something that their world view disallows: morality.

But anyway, the bottom line is I am interested in what actually exists and what is actually going on. And it seems to me that Atheism may well be false. I think christianity is as well. Perhaps most atheists are more concerned to show christianity to be false than atheism to be true. So be it. The fact remains, atheism seems to be false.

Most atheists don't care either way. It's only a select number of atheists who are anti-theists (just like most theists behave perfectly normal) of whom only a small portion loose rational thought in the process.

Can atheism truly be false when viewed by itself? Maybe you are asserting that the atheists who let their prejudice of religion negatively affect their ability to live a life centered on logic and reason are living a false life.

He just refuses to think about atheism in any other way than the one he has addressed his dreary argument toward. Never mind that it is relevant to so few of us. But I am impressed with this admission of yours even if Igoramo is too dense to find it coherent. Well said, Polaris.

Are you arguing with me for asking the question Brian? Or are you having a go at the OP? I can't tell.

Me neither but yours was an excellent question.
