Are you an assertive atheist or a passive one?

[The Grand Nudger]

You interest me. I don't meet many people who claim to be "aggressive atheists" most of them just want people to shut up and let them live their lives. Yours is a very interesting position indeed, their are certainly enough aggressive Christians out there, so it only seems fair. There is a part of me that thinks, "I want to see this person's skills" because logic and debate are so much fun for me. Then there's the part of me that doesn't have that much time.

I was wondering what you meant by "costs lives every second of every day." Do you really think Christianity kills more people than it saves? Does the net difference equal out to 31 million people a year?

31 million people a year? Elaborate..lol. Ah, no, no just caught it. Yep, every second of every day somebodies superstitions either directly or indirectly cause or contribute to the suffering of those around them, up to and including death. To be fair, christianity is only a slice of the pie.

My definitions I kept simple. If you cannot understand those basic positions then-------just who is stuggling?

Umm,I think it is you who struggling in not grasping that you set up a false dichotomy,even after it was pointed out to you.IE You gave only two choices,when in fact there are many..

So you do not actively seek theists out then?

I have answered that question.

You do not go to the more religious sites or dialog with those here, if any, who are giving a theistic view?

Not sure I actually understand the question,I'll answer the question I think you asked: IE " (who) if any, are giving a theistic view?" If you mean here,hang around and you will soon see. If you mean anywhere else, I have no idea,and could not care less who gives what view(s) about anything.

Definitely passive, I have come to the conclusion that I am an atheist by default. Primarily to my lifelong informal education in a number of areas, in particular archaeology, geology biology, and paleontology.

If I had not been as well read, I might have ended up a fundamentalist christian (shock!). Anyway I have no desire to turn people into atheists or get rid of religion. I have no desire to deconvert people or eliminate religion from society.

Because 90% of people already think there is God on this planet, unless he thinks all these people are delusional too, in which create a whole another can of worms.

90% of people are delusional? Yeah...sounds about right

I find only 2% of people are bad to the bone, including Atheist. I can agree with people about 95% of the time and 5% we disagree, that 5% the odd time can be a bitch, yet most often we move towards closer solutions.

To think that 90% of the whole human race is delusional, would limit your relationships, spirit and thinking with most others a great deal.

why? I ain't going to know more than 0.1% of people on this planet... The rest can be as delusional as the like.

Depends how you define it. I think anyone who believes in a God is suffering from a delusion. Does that make them delusional people?

Much more withdrawn from society and solitary existence than me, that’s for sure

[frankiej]

And exactly how would you this?

Just because people annoy me, doesn't mean I live a solitary existence... I can talk to people and still think they are crazy
One of my best friends studies theology and is crazy...

[The Grand Nudger]

Oh you talk to people, but not us losers in hangout. Rgr that.

[frankiej]

Hah... That wasn't really my fault...

Next time I'll talk so much that you might die
