Atheism and Anti-Theism same thing?
|
I don't think the Christers are going to distinguish between atheists and anti-theists as one is either with god or not.
They aren't too concerned with degrees of separation from god as all the sinners get the fiery lake regardless. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Of course anti-theists are not actually against God. They're just against what they feel is a destructive lie. I'm not an antitheist. I am an atheist, an agnostic, an ignostic and an apatheistic as well. RE: Atheism and Anti-Theism same thing?

It would be just as destructive a truth, if it were one.
Atheism is a statement regarding the status of ones belief in gods. Antitheism is not.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization join today.

In my own mind (and I admit that this is neither accurate nor particularly fair), I tend to equate antitheism with religious evangelism, as both positions involve getting yourself mixed up in things that don't concern you. For instance, if I'm sitting at home reading the paper and come across a story that a local church is building a new annex, as an atheist, I'd probably mutter, 'Bloody silly waste of time and money', and go on with my tea. As an antitheist, I'd be more likely to throw the paper down in a rage, being knocking together a protest sign, and heading over to the church to march up and down with a scowl on me mug. As you described the situation, you're an antitheist in both cases, just being more energetic in your antitheism in one of them.

Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”
Wiser words were never spoken. 
I am an atheist and an anti-theist. I have been known to be quite militant about my anti-theism on here, to be honest.

They only vary in degrees of complexity as such. |
