So you're saying that athiesm is the denial of a "god" not necessarily of the divine?
Everyone is atheist regarding *some* deity. I just haven't found any evidence for the existance of
any deity, fairies, or leprechauns.
So you have belief that unless something can be proven it doesn't exist.
Dear ****ing god, no. That's completely illogical. I can't even believe that you even typed those words and attributed something so completely nonsensical to me. As if I think I am so powerful that my mere belief in something causes it to exist? As if.
I simply do not believe without some evidence as a basis. Whether or not it exists is a different matter altogether and completely independent of my belief one way or another.
Or more, that everything that exists can be proven to.
Not necessarily, no. Only that I cannot make myself believe in something without some evidence as a basis for that belief.
Oh look, I'm amazed, a self proclaimed athiest immedietely reverting to condenscention. I'm shocked, shocked I say.
Wow, didn't realize all religions believed that a "man in the sky" is "orchestrating our lives".
I wasn't aware there were any that didn't. Except for some Buddhists. Even they believe in a "power" that does the orchestrating, they just don't consider it a divine entity.
natrual suggests something that follows natural laws. Something that violates natural laws would then be unnatural or supernatural.
No, we consider things unnatural when we cannot explain them with our current knowledge. I argue that EVERYTHING is natural. Just because we lack the means to explain it doesn't make it "supernatural".
Yay, more athiest sarcasm and belittling. I love that all the traits that I hate in evangelical religious people are right there in the militant athiests as well...amaizng that.
Actually, it was a reference to Die Hard with a Vengeance. But whatever. (I actually got it a bit wrong anyway, since it's actually "shove a lighting bolt up your ass") But hey, typical "believer" who lacks a sense of humor.
Oh look! More generalizations!
And that in and of itself is belief. To believe that something does not exist is a belief.
But I don't believe they do not exist.
You're not saying "I don't think gods exist because they've not been proven to me" you're going "Gods don't exist".
No, I'm not saying the latter at all. I'm saying I don't believe in any gods because I see no evidence of them. In no way am I saying "gods don't exist". Simply, "I lack belief in gods, goddesses, fairies, and leprechauns". And I will contiue to lack belief in all of those things (and more, like unicorns, dragons, and spaghetti monsters) until I am given evidence of their existence.
Agnostics simply lack belief in whether or not its there, they hold no belief in either way. Athiests BELIEVE that they do not exist.
Wrong, we simply do not believe they do.
