Re: Is atheism a religion
In English? In a rational way? In a way that doesn't carve out a specific hypocritical double standard purely for Atheism? No.
Oh no, do you think your religious beliefs are being demonized? I think that's another box you can check towards why it can be construed as being religious.
And now you're you're trolling.
Am I? I'm laughing at your expense. You went into such theatrics last night and were shown to be so hysterically wrong that I'm shocked and saddened for you that you even bothered to respond here. Of course, you didn't respond to those posts in question. You didn't apologize for being wrong- and then trying to say I edited it after the fact. You have no shame. So allow me to rub your face in it, since you refuse to acknowledge it.
You are saying that me stating I'm not an atheist doesn't answer your question if I don't believe there is a God.
I didn't ask if you don't believe there is a god. I asked if you believe there is no god. The difference is subtle, but palpable. Did you really not know that? Then fine, can you please answer the question I asked?
You are still refusing to answer my questions.
No, I'm not. Watch:
Do you or do not not accept that rejecting the existence of Shiva is a religion?
I do not accept that it's a religion. But I accept it is a religious belief.
Since you reject the existence of Shiva, do you accept this is your religion?
Well, no. Because I just said that it wasn't a religion. It doesn't have any vehemence behind it. Do you have any vehemence behind your convictions?
If you believe that since Atheism is a rejection of the existence of God it is a religion,
Did I ever say that? Or did I say it could be seen as one, since it holds religious beliefs? Don't go with what you think I said, find a post where I
say it. Not what you wish I said. Not what you assumed I said.
What I said.
you must therefore think that the rejection of Shiva is a religion too.
If, sure.
And since you reject Shiva, you must follow this religion, the religion of rejecting the existence of Shiva.
If, sure. But since I said no to the very first one of your questions, which only make sense if you presume I said yes, that statement goes nowhere.
Now, since I was so kind as to answer yours, could you answer mine?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NO GOD?
