Then you don't really understand atheism beyond your own personal views, do you? The only requirement of atheism is simply being unconvinced that there is a god. You don't need philosophical deepities to achieve that. You just have to not believe the bullshit that theists throw your way. That's it.

Stop being an idiot. I understand atheism better than you ever will if you cannot read.
I said very specifically the reason why atheism arises in cultures is because of thinking/philosophy. I never said it is what defines atheism. Maybe if you understood some logic you would have the capability of reading simple English.
Also how on earth can you not even read the sarcasm at the end?!
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.'
I am thinking of an atheist church. You can give me 10% of your income. You don't have to believe in gods to pay the fee. I am looking also for a president of my church.

I would think that a fellow atheist would have more sense than this but you are obviously lacking. Oh well, go troll somebody else.
You did, however, state that I was a heretic and a blasphemer for not buying into your love of philosophy. You are clearly showing how you think philosophy is a requirement of atheism, which it is not. It's wonderful if you take it to that level, but that's going far beyond what atheism calls for. Good luck with your philosophical ramblings, but it's not necessary.
Oh, and if you think this is me trolling, I think it's clear to see that you are the idiot here. Is this your first trip to the internet?

No, I said that with a smilie, I was being sarcastic! That is what I was referring to earlier, when I said

Obviously you should know that atheism is not a religion and henceforth there is no such thing as heresy. I never said philosophy is necessary for atheism, I never said this in any shape or form. I merely said philosophy is what creates many atheists and a quick look at history shows this. Skeptics like Plato, Pythagoras, al-Ma'arri, Muhammad al-Razi, and Nietzsche are all products of philosophy. That is all that I am saying, I never insinuated anything else other than a historical analysis.
I am going to ignore your insults because obviously you read something into what I said that was never there. Can we not call this a truce and learn to get along please? I do not wish to start a fight with somebody because they misread a joke.

Oh right, I'm the one insulting you. Maybe, if you can't take it, you shouldn't dish it out in the first place. Maybe you should have thought about that more before you called for us to "just get along". It takes two.

That is why I did not have any insults in my last post . We both know I threw insults at you, it is literally written record when you are on a forum. Been doing this for 10 years and I never saw a person who said "I didn't write that."
Also who said I can't take insults? You should see me and my girlfriend talk, it is absolutely hilarious. Come on now, lets just get along because this is seriously nothing to argue over. I presumed something about you and you presumed something about what I said.
