The Sects of Atheism

[GaryAnderson]

Yes I’m going to pick on you guys on what I think are obvious things which some of you deny but as far as schooling …. I’m not that presumptuous despite being on a horse.

Or, in other words, “no.”

So…you came here to give us a lesson in logic and you can’t even present a logical argument for your stated position? The reason you made this thread?

How embarrassing. 😬

I’m still waiting for my logic lesson.

I’m not going to school anybody here, I just wanted to show that there’s some confusion among you on definitions and that there are many interpretations in your church.

Contrary to what Gary seems to think, it’s perfectly plausible to be certain of a position (in effect, to ‘know’ it) without evidence - you can be certain, but still be wrong.

This is true, but this is not allowed for the dictionary definition of an atheist. Their definition allows them to only say “I don’t know”.

Hello. I’m new here. I’m a believer in God. In Jesus more specifically. 
In this topic I’d like to discuss some definitions and where this leads you as a person. 

Can you please describe what and where you are in a belief system? Or no belief system? Or lack of belief?

Once you’ve answered that, can you please answer the following: What can you tell me about souls and the existence of an afterlife?

Thank you.

*Bold mine*

What can you tell us, that you can show evidence for that is ?

I don’t have any evidence for this and as I mentioned if anybody did, than humanity would not have this eternal debate. This isn’t about evidence it’s about definitions of words and staying true to those definitions. You wanna answer my questions?

It often amazes me that theists can be satisfied if you state that you believe in X god, even if it isn't their god or belief system. But soon as you state you don't believe in any gods, they suddenly become aggressive and argumentative.

You strike me as a shy person watching from the windows. Come inside and participate. There’s free coffee.

@GaryAnderson

Pot, kettle, and all that.

Folks have spent some time now trying to help you out of your cloud of confusion. You don’t seem interested, lol.

Lazy trolls are obvious. *yawn*

I thank you all for participating. Check out my new thread on the science section. There’s free coffee there too.

Yeah, but should everybody actually drink the coffee?

If this thread is any indication about your confused thinking, I am not sure I want to see anything you have to say about the sciences.

But hell, I must be a glutton for punishment.

I'll see what random internet, muddled thinking, poor use of logic, guy has to say about science...

Caffeine is good for you.

[Neo-Scholastic]

That's not a fact. That's your opinion. As someone once said, theists do not require evidence and atheists won't accept any. Learning the difference between fact and opinion is one of the first steps in critical thinking, yes?

You suspect Helios doesn't know his own reasons for not believing or is lying about

No. I am suggesting that Helios presented an opinion on a complex topic as if it were a settled fact. At the same time, I am also noting that as a general rule the evidence offered by a theist will not meet the evidentiary standard for an atheist. Again, this is a difference of opinion, not a character flaw or lack of intelligence on anyone's part.

I forgot to leave this here.
I ❤️ You guys.

What happens at an atheist church?
