Please don't pollute this thread with deep ignorance. Your comment above shows how limited your reasoning is and how you find extremely impossible to reason outside the box.

Lack of belief is not religion because religion is not based on belief ALONE.

atheism is a religion because it is not based on a lack of belief alone.


I hope you can link the two if you really try.

waiting for objective evidence of GOD will steal your future,objective evidence is a subjective process, hence the rely on objective evidence to substantiate the reality of GOD is an invalid logic . Instead, try to measure consistency and experience. Consistent reality is experienced.

you're just Gish galloping while muddying things up which makes your post self refuting but you won't see it

"Objective evidence is a subjective process" seriously


"Measure consistency and experience" how's that not subjective?

"Consistent reality is experienced" well......

The olodo rabata is actually you (as always).

If you check definition 4 and 5 on what religion is you will see how atheism is a religion.

Number 4 says "any practice that someone or some group is seriously devoted to.

Are you devoted to atheism and the practices they come with like

1. No harm in premarital sex
2. Deception is cool if you can get away with it.
3. Life is nothing but to live and die since there is no after life
And so on. Are atheists devoted to these things, YES
So atheism is a religion.

Number 5 makes it even simpler for it says faithfulness to a given principle. Number 4 is the modern version of number 5 so both are talking about devotion to a cause, a practice, a principle.

Atheism is a religion.

You see when you read dictionary meanings don't just stop there. Dissect them so you can be better informed and not deformed as you currently seem to be.

Check the definitions of principle and practice I attached to buttress my above pointers. Look carefully at the number 1 definitions from each screengrab.
Absolutely brilliant Butterflyl1on. You understand the deeper truths of what the OP is revealing to the world.

Many thanks to JacksonD7 !!

Do you even understand my post,indirectly i am arguing for subjective evidence, telling seun that objective evidence is a subjective process....objectivity is something that subject make up.... subjectivity evidence can only be achieved from personal experience or is there any other way to have an experience? and Is there any such thing as objective experience?

As far as I can tell, there is only subjectivity. Objectivity evidence is a hypothetical state of knowledge that is impossible to verify.

Don’t mistakenly defend objective evidence for a fact. Facts are definitions. They are an apparent agreement between lots of people. But they are, in the end, tautologies.



what do you mean by well here '' measuring consistency and experience''

You remind me of the tree that fell in the forest. The tree and the forest are objects that exist. The argument is whether it really fell if there were no subject to observe it.

You seriously need to learn more about objectivity and subjectivity. You might understand how your subjectivity is devoid of objectivity.

The presence or lack thereof of an observer does not alter the fact that a tree fell in the forest. You may not have witnessed or heard the falling of the tree but the evidence of trees lying all over the floor of the forest is proof of an experience you never witnessed.

what are you really driving toward here.... s.e.u.n argument has been refuted already ..... do you mean there is objectivity? then you would have to have some point of view that is outside of the subject (yes, subject) you are trying to perceive. ....Unfortunately for objectivity, i and you are all inside the universe. so we both can not know if we perceive things the same way anyone else does or can you?

I refuse to believe that a tree fell in a forest, if I cant see it falling myself. There must be another reason why it is lying on the ground when I finally got there. No Sir Seeing is believing, hearing is no evidence.

Objectively, and regardless of a subject, the tree fell, seems to be what you are saying. Confirm please.
