Organic Molecules Found 400 Light Years From Earth
RE: Organic Molecules Found 400 Light Years From Earth
I remind -everybody- of their brother in law, man. I guess I'm just a common kaffir. Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

When you ask an individual atheist what their position is on a topic, just ask, and skip the fucking bullshit word "worldview". We are not all the same and we don't always agree.

I was asking a specific person the question and he didn't have a problem with it. Why should you?

I wasn't objecting to the question, just the word "worldview". There is no "atheist worldview". There are just atheists as individuals who have different opinions as individuals.

Brian, clearly I was asking regarding a specific person's worldview, not an "atheist worldview" in general. There is a difference in meaning and the context in with I used the word was clear. While I agree that there is not an "atheist worldview", each atheist has a worldview (in fact, everyone has one).

Why do you hate the word so much?

I hate "worldview" the same way I hate it when theists call "atheist" a "belief system", the same way I hate it when theists treat "atheist" like a political party or economic view. It is none of those things and it is also not a religion either.

It is because theists use those words as backhanded slurs to justify themselves as being top of the social pecking order. If you justify something as being bad, it makes it easier to forget or ignore that atheist is a human equal to you. 

So when you talk to "atheists" do not call it a "worldview", do not call it a "belief system", do not assume it is a political party or economic view. And it most certainly IS NOT a religion.

Just skip all those words and if you are not sure what the individuals position is on those topics ask, but do not treat us like we are one giant gang.

Indeed it's annoying ask me shit not as an atheist but as a person . And stop acting like my atheism is what defines me .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
