What Does Atheism Profit Atheists?

[just a believing guy]

I guess there´s no point in explaining to you another time how "atheism" and "agnosticism" are answering completely different qestions.

...but are close to oneanother.

But God does exist. How elde would you explain the foundation of the Red Cross society?

By that logic the Red Crescent is proof of Allah's existence.

 

[Larniavc]

No, what I am indeed unable is to see is how people can bash Christianity with no real reason.

No one is bashing Christianity on this thread.

You started this thread about where the profit in atheism is.

If you don't like the fact that some people don't believe the same thing you do, stating thread after thread and utterly failing to make a any kind of point beyond "you guys suck" will not salve your hurt pride.

Currently unconvinced is dangerously close to being an agnostic.

Not so.

An agnostic would say "we can NEVER know because the answer is UNKOWABLE".

And atheist might say "I am unconvinced".

 

[Larniavc]

Why would I be judgemental?

By implying that my being a shoe salesman as opposed to a cognitive behavioural therapist would make one jot of difference regarding the views and opinions I say.

...but are close to oneanother.

Just as close as theist and agnostic are to one another.

''You guys suck'' and ''you are being soulless'' are two different things.

Beg to differ.

Doesn´t fit with your preconceived notions, eh?

No preconcieved notions, atheism and agnosticism are two sides of a coin, literally.

No.


(a)gnosticism is a qualifier of (a)theism.
The first pertains to knowledge, the latter pertains to beliefs.

They are different answers to different questions.
At best, the first qualifies the latter.

It's not hard.
(a)gnosticism is the answer to "do you know?".
(a)theism is the answer to "do you believe?".

No, they aren´t. It has been explained to you multiple times. They aren´t even in the same ballpark.

Yes, they are.

By getting to know Christianity we get to believe in it.

LOL

An agnostic would add: ...but...

No they wouldn't. They would say it is unknowable.

 

[Larniavc]

This is pointless.
