I am an atheist, both agnostic and gnostic. I'm a gnostic atheist when it comes to religion, since I can prove them wrong, therefore I believe religions are false assumptions and that their gods don't exist. When it comes to the question 'does a spiritual higher superior force exist?' I must recur to agnosticism since I can't prove the claim neither right nor wrong, but I lack belief in higher forces.
I'm an anti-theist, in a certain way I've always had the behaviour of an anti-theist but I never realized it (I even criticized some anti-theists). My anti-theism is not directed towards mocking theists all the time and going out arguing with them all the time or wanting to take away their rights, I believe in freedom of religion. I just personally find the concept of god man made, corrupt and volatile since if we ask everyone 'what is god? no person will give a completely equal answer - This god concept can be used for bad and for good, many times it is used for evil. If anyone wants to debate my position, theists and deists, go ahead, I'd appreciate it

How about:
Resolved: Today's Christians are hypocrites for condemning homosexual behavior, yet eating pork and shellfish and wearing clothes made from two different materials. This one comes up fairly regularly here. You of course would be pro and I'd be con. (July 30, 2014 at 9:17 pm)Blackout Wrote: I am an atheist, both agnostic and gnostic.

If you think that way let's compare your best dinner to anybody else's. Oh yeah, you're a Gnostic dinner-er too. But wait, you limited the challenge to only hotdog eaters. That makes you even smarter-er.  currupt and vile? you can only defend this to that image in the mirror. But remember there is nothing more pretty to a pile of bullshit than another pile of perfect bullshit.

The OT is a book of Jewish mythology and propaganda circa 450BCE largely forged by some bloke called Ezra.

You didn't present any arguments to prove I'm wrong. Now go take a hike and stop being a jackass

Here's another thread on the same theme I suggested. Applicability of the OT law to today's Christians seems like a good topic.

Applicability of the OT law to today's Christians seems like a good topic. Men not really. For starters it is really beaten to death around here and for 2 I'm quite glad that Christians are not following the old testament, as I don't like it much when people keep slaves or stone children.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. |
