An agnostic is an atheist without a backbone.

Now now, AV, I'm quite sure that you have repeatedly been told the difference between an agnostic and an atheist. Why do you keep saying things that you have been told are wrong?

I love how you just ignored the whole appeal to authority fallacy problem. :)

Yeah, agreeing with a bunch of cosmologists on an issue of cosmology is SUCH a logical fallacy.

Take it back to your own threads.

In other words, being a Christian requires saying things that are wrong, is that what you are saying?

I don't hate atheists, I just disagree with their atheist view.

About Einstein, I understand perfectly where he stood in reference to God and it wasn't your atheism.
Evidence? Self inflicted-blindness prevents atheists from either seeing it or acknowledging it.

You don't seem to understand that by today's definition, and the way that most atheists defined atheism Einstein was an atheist.

Instead of relying on slanderous and dishonest comics perhaps you should be asking atheists what an atheist is. An atheist is someone that simply lacks a belief in a god or gods. Agnostics are a type of atheist. Just as there are many different sects of Christianity there are different levels of disbelief among atheists. If you asked Einstein if he believed in your God he would give you an emphatic "No."

This may help, but I doubt it:

Letters From Einstein About God (and Toys) Sell for $420,625

'On the issue of God, Einstein dismissed the widely held view that he was a confirmed atheist. "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one," he wrote to a man who corresponded with him on the subject twice in the 1940s. "You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist. ... I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being." '

For all practical purposes I like to make a clear line of demarcation between those who aren't sure that God exists-Agnostics and those who are certain that God doesn't exist-Atheists. As for Einstein really being an atheisat, well, he just doesn't seem to fit into my personal definition. In fact, he doesn't even fit into the agnostic one either. So I guess we simply disagree on thus. The cartoon is simply to illustrate the confusion that such quibbling creates.

BTW
I never said that Einstein had the same concept that I have about God.

It would appear, you are claiming that atheists claim a god does not exist? If so, you would be wrong and the fact you have been corrected on this endless times and you continue with a strawman, is telling.

IMO, you have resorted to a straw man fallacy. Agnosticism is a statement with regard to knowledge, as in, I can't say a god/s exist. Atheism is a statement of belief, as in, I don't believe god/s exist.

Dear readers of this thread, on How to prove God exists, out of curiosity I looked up with google the following two phrases:

theists seek psychiatrists’ help
atheists seek psychiatrists’ help

And this is what google turns up, in ANNEX ONE for theists, and ANNEX TWO for atheists [see below in next from me]:

Google: theists seek psychiatrists’ help
About 446,000 results (0.48 seconds)

Google: atheists seek psychiatrists’ help
About 1,290,000 results (0.58 seconds)

So, what does that mean?

Well, the way I see it, atheists seem to be less mentally and emotionally as healthy as theists.


And why?


The way I see it, it’s because atheists have a dissonance between their psychology and their epistemology on the one side, and reality on the other side, due to their relentless but desperate i.e. frustrating and exasperating failure to achieve harmony between their psychology and their epistemology on the one side, and reality on the other side.


That means that atheists suffer from internal conflict between their emotional and mental status on the one side, and the default status of things in the totality of reality which is existence, on the other side.


And existence is the evidence to the reality of God existing in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and the operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


Think about that.

See ANNEXES below for theists and atheists seeking help from psychiatrists.



I have been to many forums founded, owned, and operated by atheists, and the massive hatred and foul speech against God and Christians there from atheists calls for parental guidance for children, like for example a woman atheist there calling God a rat-bastard, and she has babies at least one.

My warning status there has always been "Warning Level: 0%."


See if I am or what is my status there now.


And for the atheist admins and mods there cuss speech is all right, they congratulate each other for cuss language, into mutual reinforcement with foul words exuding hate and rage against God and Christians.

Now I will go and see what Michael, a fellow theist like myself, turns up with my question to him about the reality of babies, in re God exists in concept as first and foremost the creator and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


Yesterday at 5:05 AM #1380 Pachomius writes:

Dear Michael, thanks for your comments on evidence, that is very good, but not good enough from the standpoint of the default status of things in the totality of reality is existence.


Let us we two do this exercise, asking each other by turns a question, so that we will focus on reality instead of verbosity to no purpose, but just to cater to our vanity that we are so deep into what, vacuity.


Okay, I will ask you this question, Are babies components of the default status of things in the totality of reality which is existence? that means do babies exist at all, just like the nose in or face?



Okay, dear readers all of you, let us sit back and witness with what and how Michael, a fellow theist here, reacts to my question.




See you guys all tomorrow.

See next post from me, we will all including atheists work together to come to God existing from babies existing as evidence to God existing.

Okay, dear everyone here including atheists, you know babies exist?


Anyway, they are evidence of God existing in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


For atheists who do not know babies exist, please do not participate in this thread, because you don’t have the pre-requisite for participating here: it is like you want to take up a course in college, but you have not completed the pre-requisite course, so you don’t or are not eligible to take up that course.

Still when you complete the pre-requisite course, then you can take up that course.


So, dear atheists who do not know babies exist, please go and learn about babies, ask your neighbors who are married and have a family and home, and every morning they bring their kids to school.



So, let us go forth.


Babies exist, yes of course.


But they did not make themselves, so they were caused by other entities to come to existence.


Do we all agree to that, namely, that babies did not cause themselves to come to existence, so they need other entities to cause them to come to existence?


And that makes babies the evidence, one piece of evidence, that God exists, in concept as first and foremost the creator cause and operator cause of the universe and man and everything with a beginning.


At this point, do you want to discuss infinite regress?

Or what objections do you have in regard to evidence with babies, as proof to the existence of God?
