All is is someone who's both gnostic and atheist. It's not someone who said "What type of atheist should I be? I got it 'gnostic'" It's just an atheist that happens to be gnostic at the same time. Why do I have to keep repeating this?


No. You doing the thing that tillIcollapse was talking about...you're claiming an agnostic to be an atheist. Using the traditional definition, an actual agnostic might not appreciate you putting them into a category which they do not agree with.

I am saying by default they have chosen whether to follow the path of theism or not. That makes them atheist because they don't hold the belief deities. It's a technicality.

No. Like gottservant asks, you are apparently resurrected ... but what if youre really in a matrix? Or its a Boltzmann fluctuation style event? Like AVET (sp?) says, atheists may witness miracles, even if they did see the resurrection etc, but still not believe. belief takes faith, not evidence. I am strating to thing k that theism and atheism are a priori positions, not affected by evidence. For some of us at least...

MOD HAT ON:

This thread is remaining closed as it is off topic for this area.
When you get into debates about God even in a casual tone you are engaged in Apologetics.
Please Read the Statement of Purpose for this forums and you will see that Apologetic threads are off topic here.
