I thought of a drinking game, every time he says that Atheism is a specific POSITIVE belief that people belive in rather than a lack of belief in a God or Gods, take a drink.

If you don't have any booze on you, you can also use coke or coffee or whatever.

Atheism is faith based just like theism. Atheism is the lack of belief in god but that is the same thing as a belief that there is no god. If atheism was only the lack of belief, then atheism itself would be nonexistant because if it isn't belief and isn't anything else, then it isn't. Think it through buddy.

@FLANKINGWARBEAR

You are such a fucktard.

You know what my #1 Pet Peeve is? Theists who think tHEY can tell ME what I think.

So you know what? Please, by all means, tell me ALL ABOUT my own beliefs, how I think and how I became an Atheist in the first place. While you're at it, please tell me exactly where I am on the Dawkins Scale. I'm dying for an excuse to block a troll.

im not athiest and im not christian im myself fuck brainwashing dumbfucks im gonna go and rock and roll piece.

[dechha1981]

@hambone9119 And I should give a shit that you don't give a shit why?

Fuck off.

[sicilia313]

Atheism has a common belief that there is no god religion is a belief so therefore atheism is a religion.

Atheism is false

And why don't you listen to Ravi Zacharias and why he is not an atheist

[dechha1981]

"Atheism has a common belief that there is no god"

You can't even get THAT part right. Therefore, you're a dickhead.

"How can people be that stupid?"

A lifetime of brainwashing.

[djchubakka]

Why is a lack of belief so hard for these people to understand? They go around NOT believing in Thor, Wotan, Vishnu, Gnesh. Atheists just go one god further. Geeze.

[gooddarkjedi]

@sicilia313 nope. atheism is lack of belive in a gods. i dont belive that there is a god, and tecnicaly it is impossible but i give you benefit of dout. but i dont think that it is compleatly impossible that there culd be something like god. but i dont think that it is so. if not beliving in god is religion then you have many religions. you dont belive in allah so you have religion of non-existance of allah.

[gooddarkjedi]

@hambone9119 so what are you? 

[gooddarkjedi]

@FLANKINGWARBEAR oh you are so stupid. havin no faith is easy. its easy, do you belive in zombies? no. now do you think that its compleatly impossible that there culd be zombies or something like that? if you dont you are an atheist towards zombies. you dont think that zombies are impossible but you agree that its culd be possible. of course just bechose something is possible does not mean that it is so.

[FLANKINGWARBEAR]

@sockpuppetsfromhell atheism requires indoctrination also because you need to be taught about a god to make a decision on whether or whether not to believe in him

[NeverAloneForever]

@x86freak I guess I should've noticed the difference between knowledge of existence and "knowledge" of one thing.

Still, since I'm obviously a picky mother fucker, I'm still going to point out the faultiness of your example. When one disbelieves their child is dead it is different then the denial of something's existence entirely. Though you might be correct in their denial of the God they forced themselves to believe in.

Still, I understood what you were trying to say.

[x86freak]

@NeverAloneForever

Well you got me there with 'intuitive' part, it's not the only thing to describe belief. Maybe an example will help to show my way of thinking: I parent in a morgue is asked to identity a corpse. He sees the body, knows it's his child but due to shock brain goes in serious denial mode - aka disbelief. Same with a Christian - he 'knows' God is love but shown bible passages of carnage he May reject his 'talking with Jesus', speaking in tongues activities as delusions.

[NeverAloneForever]

@x86freak . . . . . . and to classify it in weak and strong terms sounds kind of perposterous. But since the strong atheists sound like petulent children, I could see how that distinction was made. I do think one of the articles was correct in re-identifying weak atheist into agnostic atheists and the strong as gnostic. That makes more sense.

Oh, I almost forgot. Everybody believes in atheism. The same goes for theism. We all know that believers and non-believers exist. Ya see?

[NeverAloneForever]

@x86freak Alright I think I get it. One thing should be noted though. Knowledge requires that you believe something is true (as it confirms it). So intuitively they can't disbelieve in it . . . while "knowing" him.

I guess I won't ever know what that "experience" is . . . or why they call it that. As for the whole weak/strong atheism thing (I looked it up). Blort? I don't really know about this. I think the distinction is needless. The strong atheists seem like borderline anti-theists though.
