Atheists Don't Exist

Angel said:
Not today's pop internet brand of atheism, like yours. That merely involves channeling idiots like Richard Dawkins, repeating atheist catchphrases, and closing the mind to thought of any kind.

My atheism came into being before there was the internet. I have never read Richard Dawkins.

It seems that you are the one most infected by internet thought.

That's part of the myth, that there is no myth.

What is that supposed to mean? You have yet to prove that atheists such as myself do not exist because I have replied to you more than 10 times, so how can I not exist?

Nope, no myth here and that is because we are not a religion, and we all know religions can only exist because of myth and faith.

Also part of the atheist myth, a pathetic olla podrida of half-baked ad hoc stories atheists tell themselves and expect others to believe.

Same here, I have never read a word of Dawkins.

More nonsense with no logical evidence to your views whatsoever. And I do not tell stories to tell anyone to believe me. I could care less if people believe me because I do not believe in anything. It is not a belief system.

And if you would use the english language, that would be really appreciated because I do not care that you know the latin word for hodgepodge, nor do I care.

And again, no myth involved no matter how much you repeat that nonsense.

I do use the English language whether you recognize it as such or not. "Olla podrida" is in your English dictionary.
The evidence for my view of Internet Atheists is fifteen years of experience dealing with them.
And get this straight: I said atheists tell themselves stories.

And as an atheist I say you are totally wrong.

I have never had a discussion about atheism (apart from here) in my life. Nobody ever mentions religion.

And just by the by, do you have anything to say on the topic of this thread, or is it only about Angel that you post?

Like all rules there are exceptions Angel did get something right once. I cant remember what exactly, possibly the year.

There is no atheist myth, despite your attempt to rationalize it. Atheists are opposed to myths and base our statement that there is no evidence of a god existing on empirical facts and logic.

Please highlight these half-baked ad hoc stories that you are claiming that atheists tell ourselves.

How can you continue to claim that atheists do not exist when there are numerous atheists in this thread? You are replying to us so that is proof that we do exist unless you have been arguing with yourself for the past 20+ replies. You don't understand the philosophical school of skepticism and are trying to twist it in an attempt to claim that non-believers do not exist, as a way to asset your claim that gods all exist and that everyone is like you and believes in some god.

Your idea that god exists because there is a concept of god is absurd. Science fiction exists as a concept, so if your claim would be true then 200+ years of science fiction and sci-fi moves just became non-fiction and the moves are now documentaries. I wonder how Jules Verne, Isaac Asimov, Arthur Clarke, Ray Bradbury, Phillip K. Dick, H.G Wells, Robert Heinlein and many others would feel about your idea?
BTW, How many gods do you deny existing because there are more than 1000 possible gods? You cannot possibly believe that they all exist.

What's your beef with me, Steven? You've joined the chorus of diffidents who don't quote or engage me directly but who always have something to post about me personally. What is it about my views you don't like? And why don't you engage me directly? I don't cotton to your threads and posts on Islam, but I neither engage you nor make disparaging remarks about you personally. I leave you to do your thing. What's with this indirect derogation of me personally?

Diffidents is not a recognized word. You cannot make it up as you go, like you do it poetry.

Btw, it's Stephen. My mother was born in London.

Fair question. The answer is that I find you condescending and dismissive. You don't engage, you preach. That's pretty much it.

Case in point:

Also part of the atheist myth, a pathetic olla podrida of half-baked ad hoc stories atheists tell themselves and expect others to believe.

Another btw here - if I ever say something incorrect about the teachings of Islam, I invite you to engage all you want to. I will respond to every reasonable request for clarification and proof.

What is this atheist myth? How do you tell yourself a story? Why am I hungry for stew?
