@camobeast100 You're welcome :-)

@BrianJ1962 Fine
-
@camobeast100 She says in her comments to me on her video "Atheos-ist Vs A-theist", directly, that she's trying to re-define; as well as alluding to it within the video itself. She also admits that it isn't a 'binary set' in the same comments - so please don't try to make such a claim on her behalf - lmao
She also gave her reasons for it too: "'not a theist' is what I am" (despite her obv. rhetoric)
Igtheism explicitly excludes itself from the dichotomy, specifically, within its definition.
QED.

@camobeast100 Don't you think it's just lovely that you can throw people into little class boxes regardless of what THEY have to say on the subject? Rejecting someones position as a non-participant in a presently unresolvable conflict simply because you don't approve of anyone not participating in 'the war on religion'. If you told me you liked Blue and I turned round and said 'The only options are Green and White' you'd say I was stupid. When you say 'there is no other position' I say you are.
-
@BrianJ1962 She didn't redefine the definition. Atheism is either lack of belief in god, or the belief that there is no god. Besides, by your definition of Atheism, Agnostics and Ignostics are also Atheists. Since Agnostics and Ignostics lack belief in god, they are non-believers, and therefor Atheists.
The term Atheist comes from ἄθεος (atheos), meaning without god. Agnostics and Ignostics lack belief in god, and are therfor without god.
-
@camobeast100 The only reason it's a binary, is because Keight wants to re-define "atheist" to be the simple negation of "theist" - which it isn't; either logically, or etymologically... The current definition (non-believer) is quite sufficient to cover all those answering the question with a "no".
As for imposing such definition on those not answering the question - Just ask Keight how she feels (or you yourself) when someone tries to dictate your position to you. It's called a "strawman"...

@InventorGorilla People can still watch the video. If someone made a response to your video, and this response would totally misinterpretit the things said in your video, you are likely to remove it from your response section. Also, you wouldn't react very nice either if you were constantly dealing with people who take you out of context, or completely fail to get the message.
-
@camobeast100 Regardless of your opinion, (or her opinion :/) on the validity of the argument, removing the video is censorship. It's a point of view, it's an opinion, it's the perspective of another human being. The repeated message of the BD channel is,"don't run on automatic,think." But, the reality is, don't disagree with me, think what I tell you to think, or you get blocked,censored, and called a chowder head. I'd love to b unblocked by BD, to show she is willing to debate without insults.
-
@BrianJ1962 YES IT DOES. The reason it's a binairy system is because there are ONLY TWO options. A Theist is someone who has belief in god, while an Atheist is someone who lacks belief in a god. Agnostics and Ignostics are Atheists because they LACK belief in a god. The fact that they are ''neutral'' on the whole ''do you have belief in god?'' question means that they lack belief in a god. Therefor, they are Atheists.
-
@InventorGorilla The reason I commented on this video is because there were people who commented on this and regarded this as ''pownage''. I don't mind it if it's just meant as a parody, but I DO mind when people actually regard the content of this video as an acceptable argument against the theistic binary system.
I begin to realise that BD didn't remove responses like these because of criticism, but because the arguments in these responses fail at every possible level.
-
@BrianJ1962 Just because you haven't answered the question ''Does god exist?'' doesn't mean that you are neither a theist or an atheist. The motivation behind your belief in god (or especially lack thereof) doesn't matter. Atheism is the antithesis of Theism the same way light is the antithesis of darkness and dead is the antithesis of alive. If you don't HAVE belief in god, then you LACK belief in god, which makes you an atheist.
-
@camobeast100 I see your "buddy" has removed this as a response. More proof that criticism is forbidden. This video was a harmless poke at the idea, you may disagree with the comparison, but the censorship is blatant, and goes against the entire argument presented in regards to why 'she' blocks/censors people. This video contained no insults, profane comparisons, or demeaning language. The bionicdance channel is failing, and will continue to fail because of this very example of hypocrisy.
-
@camobeast100 Just because you place a set of 'binary' options, doesn't necessarily equate to it actually BEING limited to that binary set. The human mind is excedingly capable of conjouring up the "3rd option" for any given binary concerning "opinion" - which, let's face it, that's what this is - one's OPINION of whether, or not, a deity exists.
"Not a theist" is both a logical & etymological 'fail' as well as being non-sensical. How can one define themselves as "not you; whatever you believe"?
-
@camobeast100 This really isn't hard (to quote from BD - lol) - given the question, "Do you...?" there are several possible answers.
If you answer the question "no" then, regardless of your answer being 'driven' by "active" OR "passive" non-belief, you still answered the question in the negative - which means *you have answered*; just as the theist has answered "yes".
Someone who doesn't answer (or can't; eg baby) is entitled to not do so & can't be automatically assumed to hold either position.
-
LOL.
"but i'm a puppet!"
well...so is yoda!
pwned!
-
LMAO! Epic. XD

im a sith and proud!

@rriverstone1 3xAmbien= stupidest thing I've ever heard. ^_^ thanks, I do what I can =)
-
@SchizophrenicQueen Oh, I suspect, my dear, there's a great deal that you can do, all on your own. Never apologize for being; you're fine. I liked your video on that ridiculous notion of taking 3xs the dose of Ambien would do something positive for schizophrenia, by the way. I want that tee shirt that says, "You're just jealous because the voices don't talk to you!" I have brain injuries & post traumatic stress & am Mad Pride advocate. Cheers!
-
@rriverstone1 thanks for the sub ^_^ sorry I didn't reply right away, I'm a bit of a spaz. I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without Brian of course, for his awesomeness is the kind that connects the fabric of the universe :D
-
@PainAddict666 thanks ^__^
-
