Atheism (2)

[Eudaimonist]

what do athiests believe then, how about that!

Aside from not believing in any gods, they believe whatever they believe.

It's the same as with theists. Aside from believing in some divine being or beings, they believe whatever they believe.

Depends on the atheist.

 

[Gadarene]

thats a strawman, to weaken the stand of an opposition.

now please answer what athiesm is.

The only strawman here is the one you have been committing since the original definition of atheism was presented. Why are you asking again when you already know the answer? Stop messing about if you want to be taken seriously here.

ah so you respect the original definition of atheism,

well then prove it!

Atheism doesn't talk about belief, so you'll have to defer to the individual(s) for that.

It's like asking, "So what are Democrats favorite DVD box set or meal?"

(Btw, are you rearing that child, in your avatar picture?)

 

[Non sequitur]

It's so much cooler on our side though

I've heard it can be hot-as-hell on your side, too.

*rimshot*

It's a lack of belief in God/gods.

We lack belief in God/gods, ergo we are atheists.

Got any more easy ones?

It's quite easy for an Atheist to prove that they don't accept a God claim... see, watch....

I, Dave Ellis haven't accepted any God Claim that has been presented to me so far.

Therefore that makes me an Atheist.


Point proven.

that wasn't the definition of atheism, that is you accepting the A definition of athiesm making you an athiest. Not the same.

Why do you lack belief in Gods?

Just cause or what?

Skavau was asked for his definition of atheist. He gave it.

He was defining his terms, what exactly needs proving?

 

[Gadarene]

Hey look, you still haven't been reading the thread. Might want to start.

I lack belief in gods because there is no good evidence or argument that I know of to justify belief in one.

I've said as such several times now.

Are you actually reading the posts people make here, gradyll, or are you being deliberately obtuse?

 

[Dave Ellis]

No, that's actually the exact definition of Atheism..... someone who hasn't accepted a God claim.

 

[Dave Ellis]

There's no evidence to justify a belief in them.

 

[createdtoworship]

There's no evidence to justify a belief in them.

okay so you are saying that no evidence exists to justify a belief in God

I am saying no evidence exists to justify a belief in NO God.

so we are both right, and that would settle it.

 

[Gadarene]

No, you aren't right. All you have done is uniquely (and thus inconsistently) asserted that belief in your God and only belief in your God is justifiable despite a lack of evidence.

Now, you need to back up this assertion. You need to justify your special pleading.

Dave and the other atheists here have a standard for justification of belief that is consistently applied. You do not.

 

[NailsII]

Why do you lack belief in Gods?

Just cause or what?

Personally, I don't believe in a god (or gods) because I don't think that there is any evidence for the existance of any, nor should we think that there should be any.

 

[createdtoworship]

with this definition of atheism that requires evidence of a God to be true.....


but I believe there is no evidence for the lack of God.

so who is right?

 

[createdtoworship]

Reminds me of an atheist who is mad at God. How can an atheist be mad at something that doesn't exist?

 

[Eudaimonist]

Reminds me of an atheist who is mad at God.

There's no such a person, by definition.
