Are you [anyone here] an atheist?
Good!
Tell me something you want me to know about just one thought that matters a lot to you with calling yourself an atheist.
.
Where do we go when we pie (sic)?Okay, come forth and explain what do you mean with calling yourselves atheist!
What is Atheism?
Atheism is one thing: A lack of belief in gods.
Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods.
How did I dismiss the theory?
How did you? You didn't even learn how to spell school!Tell me how you made it out of high shool.
Meh,the biggest reason for so many atheists is that religion screwed mankind over for almost 2000 years now,looking at how ridiculous and how hateful religion treats anybody that is different is enough to turn any person with half a brain away from religion,which explains the quality of person you find trying to convert atheists and persons of different believes.They might as well declare that atheists are just simply lacking a or with them is an absence of a brain to do honest intelligent productive thinking, as to know and be able to give an account of why and how they get to call themselves atheist.
The so self called American atheists lack a brain that is why folks should not at all ask them why and how they get to call themselves atheist.
A Theory is our best understanding of something. There is no such thing as a "Proof" in Science.How did I dismiss the theory?
I only said that a theory is by default unproven,we have no proof and we never will have any.
We do have strong evidence leaning towards this theory being true but that's a different thing.
Also, from your link.If something is proven you can't modify or reject it, you have proof that it is so.
"The strength of a scientific theory is related to the diversity of phenomena it can explain and its simplicity. As additional scientific evidence is gathered, a scientific theory may be modified and ultimately rejected if it cannot be made to fit the new findings; "
How did you? You didn't even learn how to spell school!
I went to my attic and searched for god and didn't find one, therefore god doesnt exist.Here, I will give you an example that man can prove something to not exist, like say a unicorn, this way:
I bring you with me to my attic, telling you that we will search for a unicorn in the whole attic, and we will not find one there, wherefore: that is proving a negative, no unicorn existing.
Too busy in the other thread.Why the heck has Eris not padded her chest yet??
not sure if trolling or just ignorant.How did I dismiss the theory?

I can take you into my attic to look for a waffle iron, and we can look all around and I promise you will not find one. Is that then proof that waffle irons don't exist?Here, I will give you an example that man can prove something to not exist, like say a unicorn, this way:
I bring you with me to my attic, telling you that we will search for a unicorn in the whole attic, and we will not find one there, wherefore: that is proving a negative, no unicorn existing.
What about your contention that the party making a claim has the burden to prove his claim, and not the party opposing the claim, is that another rule in your toolkit, in your practice of argumentation and debate?
I am truly sorry that someone convinced you that admitting that you don't know something is intellectual cowardness. There is nothing wrong with stating that I don't know.Atheists just do nothing in re genuine exposition of their why and how they get themselves to call themselves atheist.
With the so self described as American Atheists, they arm themselves with this semantic nonsense,* like:
A lack of belief in gods. Intellecltual cowards, just say you deny gods exist.
It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Again, intellectual cowards, just say you deny gods exist.
Good video.

yada yada yada.
Atheists to my unbiased observation should call themselves anti-religionists, in particular anti the religions of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
I call my concept of God as the generic concept of God, namely, God in concept is the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning.
This concept of God is generic in the sense that it first and foremost describes the feature of God, by which God deserves to be noticed by mankind, namely, that He is the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning - that is the feature common to all three monotheistic religions: Christianity, Islam, Judaism.
If God is not the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning, I and people like myself, we will not bother with taking notice of God.
Now, atheists actually hate religion instead of God, but since religion is cultivated by fellow humans who are family members, friends, fellow workers, etc., they re-direct their hatred toward God: and God happens to be also from man's attribution the author of all kinds of commandments of Thou shalt not this and Thou shalt not that, etc. and etc. and etc., this kind of God is inimical in particular to all kinds of libertinism of man, in regard particularly to sexual activities outside of marriage, and also all kinds of 'unnatural' sex pleasures which are called in the Christian, Islamic, and Judaic religions, sexual perversions or abominations.

.I can take you into my attic to look for a waffle iron, and we can look all around and I promise you will not find one. Is that then proof that waffle irons don't exist?
This is why lack of positive evidence is not evidence of the negative. Not finding a waffle iron in my attic does not prove that there are no such thing as a waffle iron, nor does it lend evidence of there being a waffle iron. The ONLY thing we can say is that my attic does not have a waffle iron in it. If we search a dozen other attics and don't find one we can say that waffle irons are probably not found in attics. Evidence is additive. One data point rarely tells us anything.
I am truly sorry that someone convinced you that admitting that you don't know something is intellectual cowardness. There is nothing wrong with stating that I don't know.
I don't need to deny gods existence any more than I need to deny the belief in any other of the literally infinity ideas. The fact is I don't have any real reason to think one exists. So, why would I even waste my time on it? There is literally an infinite amount of things I don't believe in.
And yes, atheisms talks of faith. It is the answer to the question if you have faith in god, not if you believe he exists. I actually know some atheists who believe that a god exists, they just don't have any faith in the god they think exists.
Just remember this one does not have Eris pads her chest.Wth just realised you have 2 threads running.Wtf?
