Why is it so hard to explain a simple idea??

No, they used knives.

"The word figures in the well-known story, related by Geoffrey of Monmouth, who got it from Nennius, of the treacherous slaughter by the Anglo-Saxons of their British hosts:

Accordingly they all met at the time and place appointed, and began to treat of peace; and when a fit opportunity offered for executing his villany, Hengist cried out, "Nemet oure Saxas," and the same instant seized Vortigern, and held him by his cloak. The Saxons, upon the signal given, drew their daggers, and falling upon the princes, who little suspected any such design, assassinated them to the number of four hundred and sixty barons and consuls ...."

Said by someone who clearly hasn't a clue what atheism is. :roll:



Broad sense athiesm is the rejection of belief in the existence of any gods.
Narrower sense is specifically the position that there are no gods or even more inclusive is the absence of belief that any gods exist.


You can see many athiest act as dogmatic and absolute as the most religious among us.
 
Yeah ... but it's a point that doesn't address teh question ...

Again, if everyone says that killing children is ok, it doesn't make it ok ... change in viewpoint doesn't mean change in reality.

Tricky. There is no dogma to not believing in something.
