If I lack belief in Gods am an athiests. Many people have given you the definition of atheism from diffrent sources but you refuse to accept it.

I repudiate those definitions . I know their origin and I don't accept them .

You are an atheist because you consciously and explicitly reject the existence of God(s) .

You have knowledge of some gods in different religions and it does not make you a theist but if you have no knowledge of God or belief in God like the babies then you are an atheist .

How does this make sense to you ?

Of course , to anyone who doesn't have the intellect to challenge the arguments against atheism being presented here .
Pouring water on a stone yields no value...

You presented nothing mister man...

If your supposed intellect could not tell you that to reject..you have to disbelieve...

And that even early form of christianity differs from modern christianity...

Babies do not have or lack belief in any God. They simply do not lack or have belief. So they are not atheist or theist.

That means you agree implicit atheism(lack of belief/absence of belief in God(s)) is wrong . Because babies are labeled as atheists due to implicit atheism .

its you that desperately want definitions to change at your will

go to google; go to Oxford, Webster etc tell them that you want them to put the definition you want, I'm sure they'll be very glad to do that,

what reason could they have to turn down such a request coming from a computer science student who is a Star trek evangelist and a self acclaimed internet troll? absolutely no reason to

Babies can not be labeled as athiests because they do not lack or have belief. They simply do not qualify. Nothing wrong with implicit atheism. People that lack belief in Gods are atheist.

They are not . People that lack belief in God are not atheists . They do not need to be labeled .

I believe in God - I consciously explicitly accept or acknowledge the existence of God - this is theism .

That means atheists are implicit theists .

Implicit theism

If you have knowledge of any god whatsoever without consciously accepting the existence of God you are a theist . cheesy cheesy

(King Ebuka 2016)

All atheists are implicit theists because of my definition above .


Does this make sense to you ? No ?

But George Smith did the exact same thing and no atheist opposed the foolishness of his definition grin grin

Mr man
We don't have a clue how we got here
It's very illogical to rule out a creator completely, to say there is nothing out there beyond our understanding
This is madness!
And it's also very illogical to claim the creator of the universe would give a hoot on very personal aspects of your life like what you eat, wear, how much money you give to it, your sex life and would be so petty Yu demand constant asslicking or be prepared to face eternal anguish
This is madness!

I explained why it is logical for God to be concerned .

KingEbukasBlog:

3. God is the infinite source of existence : Some say God does not exist , God is . God transcends everything created because it is its source of existence . The universe is an open system which is contingent on its source , God .

4. God has > 10 dimensions : For God to be the creator of the universe he must exist above a 10 dimensional "form" . Particle physics and relativity let's us understand that at least ten dimensions of space existed at the creation of the universe . Three dimensions of space and time make the universe we observe while the rest are compact dimensions of space . The universe cannot contain God , God contains the universe. That explains why he is omnipotent , omnipresent , immaterial , invisible . He "sees" all things .

But God can manifest himself in three dimensions (solid and material form ) so that man can comprehend him . And that is called a theophany .

It is not logical to claim that God does not care about human affairs or the affairs of the universe just like the some deists claim

[s]Many atheists don't know what atheism is . Implicit atheism which is the lack/absence of belief in God , it was first suggested by Baron d'Holbach in the 18th century before George Smith added finishing touches and it has been criticized as false and deceptive .

Atheism has always been the conscious explicit rejection of God(s) that's why Diagoras of Melos was described as the 'first atheist' in History - this happened 2,500 years ago .

While theism started with urreligion as far back as 300 ,000 years ago by the pre-Adamites /sub-humans even before Modern man (Adam) was created . The pre-Adamites acknowledged the existence of the Supreme Being because urreligion was described as monotheistic [/s].

You are smoking firewood
You should know by now that most atheists are agnostic
