I'm new to this forum...
Hello, my name is Jose, and I want to know if there is someone that I can talk with. I am not planning to debate about God's existence, I just want to talk about some doubts that I have about the atheism way of thinking. I want to know if everyone thinks the same about atheism.

Go right for it, there are many around to talk to.

If I might make a recommendation... you should go to the Introduction forum. There are rules to protect you in there from... people like me Smile

Chop chop, not everybody thinks the same thing(s) about atheism. I think atheists are delicious... are you delicious too? Hungry

Just a heads up, one of the first responses you'll get is...
Atheism isn't a 'way of thinking'. It is simply the idea that there isn't enough evidence to warrant a belief in gods or deities.
That's all it is. Nothing more nothing less.

You should take Alice's advice, you're in the firing line in the Atheism sub-forum, so to speak.

What exactly is it you think atheism is besides the lack of belief in a god or gods? I think you have extra baggage attached to what you think atheism is. But that just makes this that much more fun Devil

Sejanus said: ''the lack of belief in a god or gods.''

The difference that I see here is that one have evidence but none of them are enough to justify the beliefs of deities while the other lacks beliefs in a god or gods apparently without being shown evidence. Am I missing something here?

And one is an idea while the other is lack of beliefs.

And Sejanus:

Don't worry about me being in the firing line of atheism, I have endured much worse in my lifetime, I have been mocked by my own family because of my beliefs, so atheist mocking is like a warming up

If any of them ever show us any evidence we'll let you know.

Usually all they ever do is quote verses out of whatever particular holy book they swear is the word of god.

It gets old in a hurry.

Can you define the word religion using your own words?

After you do I'll tell you mine.

It's something you blow out of your ass, especially if it involves Jesus.

Therefore, religion is a fart.

The ability to talk to yourself based on a 2000 year old mental instability the got woefully out of hand.
