do you actually know what you are talking about? you are a cretin. obviously there is a vacuum between your ears. Atheists believe in truth, not faith. Facts, not fiction.

[jfritzyb]

There is a fine line between fact and fiction; however, if one considers things like love to be reducible down to nothing more then a bunch of cells and hormones, then they are the ones who would rather believe in fiction rather then being open-minded towards the truth, much less facts.

Its not possible to believe in atheism. it is not correct to refer to non belief such as atheist as an ism. just because we don't believe in god it doesn't mean we have no beliefs or values. Ok I believe you are not really capable of understanding what you are talking about and you shouldn't be talking about a subject you don't understand so good luck!

[jfritzyb]

Wait a minute...

If it isn't possible to believe in atheism, then why do you believe it to be true? 

[helllspell]

Atheism doesn't have a story, and it came from the absence of a belief in god, and later a rejection of the belief in one, but the belief in god had to come first before the term was useful, since everyone would have been an atheist before that. I mean this is pretty simple. Now when it comes to reasons to be an atheist, that's a completely different question, also atheism isn't a belief again it's the absence of one.

...I'm quite certain an American Atheist would disagree with you on that point, spell; they actually believe that only the Christian God doesn't exist.

@bigtitsmgee my "belief" as you call it, is based on evidence. Science is adaptable to the evidence provided. Faith/religion is not. Faith is belief without proof. I never at any time said I speak for all atheists. But I did venture my opinion on a topic I feel strongly about. However, you seem to think you have the right to tell me to "stfu" as my opinion differs from yours. Good luck with that! You sound like a theist/deist to me.

[bigtitsmgee1]

@DougCartwright1 all belief is based on faith you moron the only certainty is that there is no certainty athiest can believe whatever they want i am an athiest but i believe it on faith because me just like everyone else does not understand the universe or how it came to be no matter how close science gets there is no fact so your belief just like every other religion is based on faith so stfu and quit speaking for all athiests out there speak for yourself and no one esle

@jfritzyb [continuted[ as for the vacuuming trick: it was cool, but nonsensical. Atheism indeed doesn't "give me anything in return". Why should it? Why do I need to believe in a god as the basis for my morality? This argument isn't about whether (non)believe makes you a better person. Atheism vs theism is concerned only with the TRUTH! If a god proved their existence to me, I'd believe. Simple. A god can be loving or cruel; it doesn't matter! All that matters is the proof of existence!

@jfritzyb I'm not sure where Iron's going, but I'm pretty sure that neither of you understood what Angie said. She wasn't talking about whether religion or atheism came first, she merely meant what she said: A child knows no god until it learns of one.

If you're a Christian you should rejoice, since the Christian god has always needed mediators to spread his word to the masses, thus it's obvious that a child wouldn't know of him. If you believe in some other god, I have nothing to say :<
