I don't know jack shit. I'm 99% sure it's all shite but I don't have absolute knowledge on it. There is no "moral duty". Being an atheist simply means being without belief in a god or gods. That is it. Quote:That's just copping out.Hardly, atheism is one thing and one thing alone. One who is without belief in god's existence. That is all.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Quote:Oh do come on! You know perfectly well that God, Allah, all the rest of 'em are made up. You know it. That's knowledge.No, I don't KNOW it. I don't know whether a god exists or not. I simply lack belief in such a thing. Quote:Aha. So the Xtians are right then to say you think as an atheist you have the right to rape children and eat human flesh. Okidoke, enjoy!You sound more and more like a typical Christian fanatic. You are a troll and I stand by my actions as a mod. Atheism has nothing to do with anything, even morality. This doesn't make me immoral. I can guide myself perfectly well. Quote:Meaningless garbage to justify a complete cop-out. Get back under your duvet. You have a huge misconception of atheism. It is not an atheist's responsibility to do anything. An atheist is simply one without belief in god. If you can't get that, I don't think you ever will.
