You objectionable atheist?

[RoseGreen]

Too proud in what way?

Tone.
They look down on religious people of the mystical experience, for example, to look down on Christians filled with the Holy Spirit

 

[RoseGreen]

Do you consider Buddhists too proud?

Buddhists, too wordy, too much nonsense, but not too proud

 

[Dave Ellis]

I think God can no personality

I'm not sure what you mean...

 

[RoseGreen]

I'm not sure what you mean...

I consider that God has no personality.I consider that God is not personified.I consider that God has no emotions.

But religious people will be gentle, though probably only because etiquette

Again, some religious people are gentle.... however others have been quite quick to tell me I'm going to burn for eternity in hell for disagreeing with them.

It's not appropriate to label an entire demographic one way or the other like that... Theist or Atheist.

I think atheists rude. No relationship with philosophy, this is a matter of personal accomplishment.

I did not expect atheists reply me

Actually... you may be interested to know that most Atheists follow the philosophy of Secular Humanism.... which I see is what you listed as your religious view.

That would indicate you would likely see eye to eye on with atheists on most philosophical matters.

Again, some do, some don't.

With me, it depends how they came to justify their beliefs. If they honestly looked at their own views and have a logical rationalization for them, I respect that fully.

If their arguments are based on logical flaws and they are unwilling to recognise them... I respect their right to hold their opinions, but I obviously think their viewpoint is incorrect. Still, I wouldn't look down on them for holding a view per se, it'd be more based on the intellectual dishonesty that person is displaying.

Well, the vast majority of Buddhists are Atheists... most Buddhist sects do not worship a God of any sort.

That's what I mean in being careful to label an entire segment of people as too much or too little of anything. You'll often find it's not nearly that simple.

Ok, so is it a kind of Deistic God you believe in then? I'm just trying to figure out how you would define him.

Generally not, but even then, I'm sure there's exceptions.

Atheists often say that logic, the logic of how to explain the existence of the universe?

Buddhism is polytheistic.
If God is an adjective, I am an atheist; if God is a noun, I am a theist.

I consider that God is the Tao

Well, the honest answer is to say we don't know where the universe came from. Hopefully through study and research we will discover how it started.

However, the main point is that just because we don't know how it started is no justification to say God did it. We have absolutely no evidence that shows God did it, so to make that argument is unjustified.

It would count as a hypothesis... however since it has no evidence backing it, it wouldn't even really be a strong one.

Saying "We don't know how the universe started, so God did it" is a logical fallacy known as the Argument from Ignorance.

The only honest answer to that question is "We don't know, but we're trying to find out"

no, Buddhism is not Polytheistic... The vast majority of Buddhist sects are Atheistic.

Hinduism, or the religion of Ancient Greece are examples of a Polytheistic religions... They worship multiple Gods or Deities.

Christians believe they already know the answer, and their sense organs do feel

I consider that God is the Tao

Ah, so you mean pantheistic, not polytheistic. (Correct me if I'm wrong... my knowledge of Taoism is not that good)

Pantheism is basically belief that Nature, the Universe and whatnot are synonymous with God.

Polytheism is the belief that there's multiple Personal Gods.

I believe in God, but do not worship God

I believe the Lord, but also believe in Allah, but do not worship them
