The Religion of Atheism

I'd like to know whos ass you pulled that theory out of since I have already proven that the courts, psychologists and philosophers agree that gods are not a requirement for a religion.

 

lol, I just gave you the definition of atheism. It is the lack of belief in a god or gods. It is by definition, not a religion.

 

Still playing chess with that pigeon I see.

 

Nah. Undecided is not agnostic. It's undecided.

It's also not intellectually consistent, as nobody stays undecided about invisible pink unicorns due to lack of knowledge.

 

I beg to differ, being an Agnostic/Atheist I am not undecided concerning "God" as I am absolutely sure the things we made up and call God are fabrications. I AM however not silly enough to fall into the same pile they did and pretend I know what no on can know.

 

Why does it mean so much to you to define atheism as a religion?

There is no point, no good reason at all....

Did you just want to drag us down to the level of people who believe something exists with no proof whatsoever?

 

There is no "System" to it.
While some atheists may have some sort of system in their life, that is not what makes them an atheist.

 

your definition says its a religion

your definition says its a religion

Sure if the rest of the atheists follow you.

Inventing crap I didnt say to argue about, is that all you got? agnostic has nothing to do with undecided, all we ever get from you people is bullshit and spin.

So what you fall for your own. Neither atheists or theists can prove a damn thing as far as I am concerned.

This thread is about the atheist religion.

there is no 'system' for theism either, and likewise that is not what makes them theist.

 

You: ""This thread is about the atheist religion."""


Wow! What a complete NON-answer to :

But I never have EVER gotten a straight answer from a RELIGION MEMBER...

 

You minus well call your thread "The religion of critical thinking"

Not sure if that qualifies as a religion...

Religion- the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.

Which superhuman controlling power, especially personal God or gods, do atheists believe in?

 

FSM?

I have personally felt the moist embrace of unseen noodly appendages.

 

None.

 

lol, my definition says it isn't a religion. That has not changed in over 800 posts. Atheism means lack of belief in a god or gods. It is by definition, not a religion. Just like not playing baseball isn't a sport.

 

But you need a lot of faith, to, (not play baseball).

 

TMI !

 

What a pile of crap, you can prove you did not play baseball, no faith required, you cant prove there is no G/god, ALL FAITH REQUIRED

But not believing in God is a religious belief

Atheism is a religious belief there are no G/gods.

Right from your definition!

 

nope. Atheism, by definition, is not a religion, just like not playing baseball isn't a sport. Atheism means the lack of belief in a god or gods.

 

yes we can see that from your definition:



Yes just like not-playing-baseball is in fact a sport, we compete how long we can resist from playing baseball and the winner takes all the beer. Yes we chide and goad each other into playing to see who lasts the longest. We have not playing baseball trophies. The winner gets the prestigious I didnt play baseball for ______ period trophy.

Not playing baseball is a sport after all !

Seems atheism is a religion after all !

 

good. thank you for admitting atheism is by definition, not a religion. It continues to mean lack of belief in a god or gods.

the mental gymnastics of the above stupidity is truly a sight to behold.

 

yes we can see that from your definition which clearly says its NOT religious:




I can imagine how painful this is for the denialists.

Denialism

thats also why we have people coming out here claiming they are agnostic-atheistic-theists.

 

atheism is by definition, not a religion. It continues to mean lack of belief in a god or gods.

 

Distraff:

Any religious group can claim that their writings were inspired by God, but ask them to present proof, and you will soon realize they have none.

The Judeo-Christian Bible contains some 2,000 accurately fulfilled prophecies as evidence that it was inspired by Jehovah. The Islamic Koran, on the other hand, was written more than 600 years AFTER the completion of the Judeo-Christian Bible, and it copied many of the Old Testament/Hebrew characters and events and embellished it with their brand of paganism.

Being a fulfilled prophesy is nothing special. Nostradamus and the Koran have dozens of fulfilled prophesies but the problem is that the fulfillment of these prophesies aren't impressive enough to prove they were divinely written. Its highly unlikely that anyone could predict the distant future because of just how complex human society is and there are just too many variables.

 

Distraff:

Of course I proved it. It is not my problem that you choose not to be convinced. For instance, below are some of your weak objections to what I presented in my OP.

Wrong! Atheism inherently IS a belief system. And a very important belief system at that. The fact that atheists show up on religion forums--at every debating website I have ever been to--where they make a point of railing against God, speaks for itself.

Any belief system that is of great importance is defined as RELIGION.

This line of conversation belongs in my thread where I present proof that the Judeo-Christian Bible is inspired of God.

Here is the link to the opening post of that thread: http://www.politicalforum.com/index.php?threads/the-bible-god’s-word-or-man’s.249982/

Here is the link to my response regarding your claims about Nostradamus and the Koran having "dozens of fulfilled prophesies."
