For the meantime, Religion and God are inseparable.

Evangelism/publicity is not a qualifier for religion at all.

you dont know anything at all do you? undecided Just making noise for the sake of being seen to post too right?
If evangelism is not a qualifier for religion then what is?

Even if we agree with this, then both Buddhism and evangelical atheism are still religions. smiley

Cosmology is a religion??

you do know that religious cosmology is a well accepted term right? undecided
Re: The Internet Has Become A Church For Atheists by Nobody: 3:58pm On Aug 02, 2012
It sure has.

I respect all beliefs or lack there of however I get very annoyed every time someone quotes a bibilical text or speak on God and some athiest a-hole decides to come up and accuse that person of being "delusional" and lay the famous "show me proof of God's existence" line.

I mean seriously, not even JWs are that annoying.... tongue
No offence lol

davidylan:

See also - atheist almost slavish worship of the scientific theories they bleat help them eliminate a need for a god. You replace a sky god with an earthly god = religion.

Scientific theories/methods are found to be very reliable and self corrective. A reasonable man will believe it.

I simply asked if cosmology is a religion. I'm aware that most religions do touch on a wide range of subjects and cosmology is one of em.

Good Point.

You must count out Jainism, Buddhism, African religions as religions as a result!

Not all of them. Darwin said your tail bone was a vestigial organ. 200 yrs later we proved he was wrong.

Depends. Cosmology, as an alternative to the creationist viewpoint, is a religion.

only if you view evangelism as the SOLE qualifier.

Did you not basically equate that with "innate conscientious belief", "conscience" etc recently in order to claim that atheism should be "rightfully" classified as a religion under the American Constitution? wink

Do you get annoyed when someone quotes psalm 14;1 to say atheists are fools?

Beauty of a self corrective system. Science isn't omniscient or else it would be irrelevant.

davidlyan: Depends. Cosmology, as an alternative to the creationist viewpoint, is a religion.

Just because it offers an opposing view?! The word religion is not holy water that you can sprinkle on anything.


only if you view evangelism as the SOLE qualifier.

That would lead to unsatisfactory conclusion.

"And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart"(gen 6:6). Soon, all theists shall also repent and grieve for their multitudinous ignorance, as did their emotionally short-sighted god-my-foot!

Shaw007: its very wrong 2 speak against men of God. . Its true some of them are bad but speaking generally is extremely dangerous. . .DO NOT call upon d wrath of God
B.s:God commanded that you pay thite. . .can someone pls quote d bible there.

SMDH

Someone calls himself an Atheist and you are taking him to tasks for speaking against the men of God (when he has spoken against the babanlas of men of God) and asking someone to quote bible passage.

Are you sure you know what being an Atheist means because I don't think you do! cheesy
Re: The Internet Has Become A Church For Atheists by SisiKill1: 7:41pm On Aug 02, 2012
Why is it offensive to call Atheism a Religion?!!

I always thought Religion was based on BELIEFS and it didn't matter who or what the object of the belief is(are).

Am I missing something? embarassed

buzugee: lets leave my gastronomic and peristaltic habits out of this, loco grin

Hehehehehhe....

Logic boy is tryna runaway from the truth...

It'll hunt him until he concurs.....

He spends 12hrs if not 24 hrs talking about issues pertaining to God but he denies he aint an atheist evangelist....

What else is he??

The other time he put up a post suggesting that some persons must have being converted into atheism since nairaland christians aint appearing much on this forum.....

Logic boy seriously needs and wants converts and that will make him happy...

Truely atheists have made the internet there church.....

Darwin was not an atheist, and there are more theist that believe in evolution than atheist. Just a point of correction.
