Why do atheists deny that they are just biorobots?

Such as?
You're big on the empty rhetoric; not so much on the substance.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

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.  
You can know the ingredients for a loaf of bread, how it rises and so on, but at the same time you can enjoy the taste of the bread, just like everyone else.

I have learned that as a general rule some people have reached various conclusions based on their atheism. Then when pressed to define those conclusions, they back away into the "no, no, atheism is simply the lack of belief." I suppose it is fair to say atheism doesn't really mean anything other than that disbelief, but it seems to serve many very well as a springboard for various doctrines like naturalism, moral relativism, and fatalism. When that is the case, I think it petty when someone focuses on semantics and not really defend the issues he or she are promoting. |
