Internet Skepticism: Casting Call

Speaking of Internet Skepticism's beloved comedy team Clueless and Nonsensical, get a load of this howler:

still repeating your nonsensical BS as fact I see, as expected, nothing to discuss here with someone who ignores facts and definitions.

And the only howler here would be these god awful threads about absolutely nothing of any substance, like this thread for example.

So once again, if you have no actual position of interest, it is again adieu and toodle pip

Your emoji fever dream notwithstanding, your "definition" of atheism is the only thing here that is clueless and nonsensical. As a great American once said, "You can run, but you can't hide." Idyllic Norther European atheism is over.
 
Except he did not say he was disbelieving in god, he in fact said I am NOT disbelieving in god, keeping the existence of gods open as a possibility. And an atheist gods are not possibility because they do not exist. There is no possibility of there being anything like gods or magic people.

You're incorrect and you can't show that to be the case. Show me a definition that says all atheists must declare they're 100% certain there is no god. You can't because that's not a requirement.

I don't believe in god because there's no evidence to support his existence. Could I be wrong? Sure. According to you that would make me an "agnostic" along with 99.9% of all other atheists.

If you don't believe in god, you're an atheist. Your ridiculous distinction between "not believing" and "disbelieving" is nonsensical and I assume comes from the language barrier.

Gnosticism/agnosticism and theism/atheism do not refer to the same things. You're declaring only a gnostic atheist to be a real atheist and declare there can't be agnostic atheists. Total nonsense.

More nonsense I see, you clearly are clueless about the views of atheism. And yes, our Northern European society is pretty idyllic compared to most other countries, thanks.

So your post can be dumped here, were most of your posts would end up in

Sorry to rain on your parade, citizen, but your definition of atheism is indefensible and provides further proof, as if any were needed, that atheists don't exist, as we all were helped to see in that historical hysterical histrionic thread that unmasked the myth of atheism for good and all:
Atheists Don't Exist

An agnostic keeps the possibility of deities open, meaning they are not atheists.

Your atheists don't exist thread is a lie/nonsense from start to finish. Repeating nonsense is not a valid discussion point.

You do know that is incorrect? An atheist does mean you reject the possibility of a god, that is the whole basis behind atheism.

That's not what that means and you can't show any definition of the word atheism that requires someone declare there's no chance whatsoever god could exist. You're just being ridiculous.
 
You're making up things. "Do not disbelieve"? There's no difference between not believing in god and disbelieving in god. If you don't currently believe in god, which you've admitted several times now, you're an atheist. Words matter and you don't get to change them because you're emotional.

I didn't say I disbelieved in God; you are creating another straw argument. I have specifically stated (many times) that I do NOT disbelieve in God. If it does indeed exist, I just do not proclaim to know what precisely it is. HUGE DISTINCTION, as I have continually pointed out for your benefit.

Lol, the definition you gave just proved my point. Disbelief and lack of belief are the same thing. There is no requirement to declare there's a 100% chance there's no god for one to be an atheist. You're making that up. You lack belief in god, atheist, just like the definition you provided says.

So do you not believe in unicorns or do you disbelieve in unicorns? The distinction is super critical right? :lamo

Haha, nowhere in your definition does it say an atheist "knows precisely" god isn't real. How can your own provided definition of the word contradict everything you're saying? Massive fail, atheist.

The Top 8 reasons to ignore the tale of the non-existent fantasy that is called "Internet Skepticism" (and a lame 9th one just for the hell of it :lol: )

1. it is :bs

2. people who claim it is a real thing are a bit confused

3. because the fake notion of internet skepticism lacks any basis in reality

4. because the prognosticators of the non-existent "internet skepticism" won't take "we don't care what nonsensical things you claim" gracefully and keeps repeating themselves or if unanswered, they repeat parts of the thread

5. because the "fake internet skepticism" prognosticators usually don't know what they are talking about, yet nevertheless keep acting like people should agree it is a real thing

6. because the notion of making up stuff to create a false narrative is utterly unpractical and leads to nowhere but repetitive threads and nonsensical claims about the non-existent "internet skeptic"

7. because the constant referring to threads that also talk about things that are untrue (like the fantasy thread about the so-called "non-existing atheist"

8. because inevitably some poor poem gets warped/changed to fit a narrative that makes no sense ;)

9. (the previously mentioned lame one) "I just couldn't be bothered to make up more reasons to ignore something that does not really exist to begin with (you know, internet skepticism).


Now for the Obligatory poem:

Illogical

loosely based on Snowball by Shel Silverstein

I once came across a most illogical idea
as wacky as could be.
It made a wacky claims about atheists and the like
and the whole thing made no sense to me.

I tried to reason and explain it was but a fake idea
that the whole premise being discussed was rather asinine.
The sad fact that discussing this is going nowhere fast
I may be self isolated, but this is a waste of my time

I'll go ahead and cc ol' Pete on this as well. The definition omega just provided clearly says disbelief or lack of belief and I don't see anything in there requiring an atheist to declare he's 100% certain and can't be wrong.

You're trying to pretend they're different when they're not. So Pete, do you disbelieve in unicorns or not believe in them? :lamo

I'm going to give Pete the benefit of the doubt because English isn't his first language so he might not know the actual definitions of some basic words.

Last time I checked unicorns were not gods or magical people.

The word "atheism" comes from the Greek language. It can be divided into a- (ἄ), a Greek prefix meaning "without", and theos (θεός), meaning "god", and recombined to form "without gods" or "godless".

And if there were a word for "without unicorns", both disbelief and lack of belief in unicorns would be covered just like the core definition of atheism.

You blew past the fact that the dictionary definition of atheism contradicts everything you've said and reinforces everything I've said.

So to recap:
1) Atheism requires neither 100% certainty nor a positive declaration of certainty that god doesn't exist.
2) whether it's disbelief or lack of belief in god, that person is an atheist.

You can't argue with these facts so you're probably just going to keep arguing the world, language and definitions are wrong, not you.

Your posts in defense of Internet Atheism and in opposition to Internet Skepticism belong next to the entry for "nonsense" in a creditable dictionary. These posts of yours illustrate perfectly the classic denials and dismissals of Internet Skepticism. Kudos.

Yeah, posting nonsense is not going to ignore the meaning of the word atheism, which is godless/without god. Nor is the unicorn angle of any value to this discussion other than it being BS.

Or as the Cambridge dictionary writes:


the belief that God does not exist:


ATHEISM | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary

Which is something different than Agnosticism:

the beliefs of someone who does not know, or believes that it is impossible to know, if a god exists:

AGNOSTICISM | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary

Betekenis 'atheisme' (Meaning atheism)

athe·ïs·me (het; o) ontkenning van het bestaan van een god (denial of the existence of a god)
