[QUOTE="DaneaFL, post: 61524524, member: 306434"] See, the problem is that you assume that the beliefs of one atheist are also the beliefs of all atheists. Unlike religious people, most atheists are free-thinkers. I know this is a concept you don't understand since you are used to being told what to believe; but atheism isn't a religion with set beliefs like Christianity. Atheism has no tenants, dogma, clergy, political ideology, places of congregation, or statements of faith. Atheism is NOT a religion... it's only a label for a specific position about one issue... the existence of deities. You can have right-wing and left-wing atheists; you can have atheists who believe in ghosts, aliens, bigfoot, or even an afterlife; there are crazy atheists and some genius atheists out there. The only thing you can say about any atheist that would be universally correct would be that he or she does not see sufficient evidence to accept any currently available claims about the existence of a deity. I really don't appreciated you telling me what I and all other atheists believe. Have you even asked one atheist what they thought about any of those issues you mentioned? Personally I don't believe in any of those draconian ideas that you quoted earlier and I don't know any atheists who do. Instead of sitting there making stuff up, why don't you actually go here and ask atheists what they believe: [url=http://www.thethinkingatheist.com/forum/Forum-The-Free-Thinking-Life-Positive-Atheism]The Thinking Atheist Forum - The Free Thinking Life - Positive Atheism.[/url] That is, if you actually care about accurately representing us. But if you just want to continue to slander us then by all means stay on this forum. [/QUOTE]
