A few days ago, another 1%er Winter Sports "Athlete" Lindsey Vonn said they weren't repping the Prez at the Olympics.

Not 24 hours later, she busts up real bad.

I start to get a tingle that there are just so many coincidences, it's like the President is being protected by the God of Cosmic Irony.

I don't question your atheism at all. You are a fucking atheist who will burn in hell.
See you in hell.

Atheism is also a faith which can be lost, lol.

How Patrick? atheism is a lack of belief. If the whole world was atheist we would have no religious problems, especially that fucked up religion they call peaceful. We would have a tremendous belief in science and education. So many of our problems would be solved.

No, atheism is the belief that God does not exist. It is as immune from rationality as any other religion.

Agnosticism, on the other hand, is simply admitting that you don't know.

A few of the atheist posters, and not necessarily those in this thread, clearly hold atheist views due to emotional issues from childhood, rather than logically arriving at the belief that no spiritual afterlife exists.

Disagree! Faith is a human construct. Lack of any faith doesn't mean that is a faith in itself.
12   Ceffer   2017 Dec 9, 11:09pm  

I believe in God because being an atheist is way too much responsibility.

Agnosticism includes admitting that you are not 100% sure. However, it is interpreted as being on the fence, perhaps 50/50.

A complete lack of evidence for God provides plenty of data that increases the probability that there is no God. There are also now and have been a but load of religions around the world, and there can be only one (that is correct) so to speak. So, the most reasonable explanation is that humans invent religions and follow religions for various reasons. Also, cultures that have a religion thrive, because it provides common cause and social rules. I put the chances that God exists at some unscientific, but very low value. So, when I used to refer to myself as an agnostic, it just led to confusion, even though it was technically correct. Now, I use atheist to cut down on confusion, and avoid an unwanted conversation. Ironically, moving to the claim of atheist to avoid conversation is sort of cowardly in my case.

I seriously doubt if the whole world were atheists, that the worlds problems would just end. I'm almost certain the murder rate in the civilized world would increase due to their belief that there are no real repercussions in the non-existent afterlife.

Humans can't handle the thought of dying. Religions promise eternal life in a wonderful place called heaven, which is why they thrive.

Actually it's the other way round. There are hardly any atheists in prisons. Besides, it's the belief in God that causes endless religious wars.

Never heard of an atheist willing to die for his beliefs like the believers who are only too eager to kill and die, just to please their God and go tcheaven.

Except you said it was a faith. It’s not.
24   Patrick   2017 Dec 10, 7:30pm  

Of course atheism is a faith.

How does anyone know for sure that God does not exist? They do not, and cannot, yet claim certainty.

That's a religion, a faith.

Agree but I find a certain "arrogance" to claim we have seen enough to conclude a creator of some sort is not possible. I liken it to the search for life in the universe. We have no evidence whatsoever to say life exists- but given how minuscule a search we are able to accomplish from our spot in the universe, it's irresponsible to definitively say life "does not exist".

Note I have no qualms in saying that I am going to hell in the minuscule chance Christianity is correct. The type of "god" I allow the possibility for is not necessarily benevolent or even giving a shit about humanity. God could be a scientist who created the universe just because it was curious- or it's very possible if god was a being - it died a long time ago.

You cannot know for certain if God exists, but as Richard Dawkins says..."How do you know spaghetti monster does not circle Mars"
Atheism is a lack of faith, therefore it cannot be a faith.

Making a logical decision based on the best facts and data on hand is not faith.

Asserting certainty where there can be no certainty is faith.

Well, the last time he came down he could not afford much. If he comes down again while I am still around, I would be glad to put him up at my home. I'm pretty sure he will like staying with us.
Ofcourse, there would be restrictions unlike the last time he came for a visit:
Must shower every day.
No lepers allowed unless they are fully cured first.
Please wear something decent like shorts and t-shirts. No flowing rags.
No wild parties with drinking buddies.
If you must turn water into wine, please make sure I don't end up with the water bill.
And if you must die for my sins, please remember the only sin I have is a fucking parking ticket. Just pay it for me, and save yourself the trouble of dying for me.

There is no such thing as certainty.

Your use of the word faith here is misplaced.
