don't be embarrassed when your inability to comprehend is laid bare

you're suffering from "Delusion of Grandeur" http://psychcentral.com/encyclopedia/delusion-of-grandeur/

I've explained "Slippery Slope" perfectly, in a way that any sane person would understand with the "Car" example

if you still don't get it........

That picture is utter crap and doesn't reflect what atheism is but even that crap still makes more sense than Christianity...

undecided what?, it agrees with atheism 100%

According to Richard Dawkins, this atheist mythology is a staggering fact.

oga, wetin?

"if babies are atheists going by your definition, then rocks are atheists"

if we say "a" is a word as used in "I have a car", then "b" should be a word too, so should "t", "f"

"if we say sex is pleasurable, then rape should be too"

"fishes and bicycle are the same, afterall they both move from one place to another"

if you still can't get it.......

Well, the argument that human beings are amazing so they must have been created but a supposedly more amazing God didn't have to be created is not just staggering, it's stupid

That is not the slippery slope fallacy . It has to do with chains of events of effects and causes , then as it progresses it becomes less and more less probable that the next event was caused by the one that precedes it .

Its called a slope for a reason undecided

there's a reason the words "Narrower sense" was added to pass a message you're ignoring

can you explain what the words "Narrow sense" mean?

stop feigning ignorance bro, you're too smart for that

your slippery slope definition doesn't negate my examples

as for definitions, my issue is you pulling whatever one you want to use based on the straw you want to pull

same way you define "Christianity" based on the straw you want to pull

I 'pull no straws ' bro . I work with the definitions from your own sources . There is no such thing as 'implicit atheism' - that is not atheism - its deceptive . That's why babies , animals and inanimate things are not atheists .

For the slippery slope fallacy , it has to do with a chain of related events not just one statement .

your posts show strawman

you use whatever definition you like and base it on that

"Christianity" and "Atheism" are the two terms you do that to the most, one time atheism is "Lack of belief" then changes to "Rejection of gods" then changes to "Saying there's no god"

Atheists on this platform have made it clear times without number that they "Lack belief in any deity" let that be the definition you use or you're just pulling straws

Theism says there is a God .
Theism accepts the belief in God
Theism holds the belief in God

Atheism rejects the belief in God
Atheism holds no belief in God

But its wrong to say that Atheism says there is no God ?

Where are the straws here

strawman is simply misrepresenting someone's viewpoint and attack it

atheists reject belief in any deity

there are atheists that say "There is no god" but such atheists are simply thinking emotionally

almost all atheists on this platform simply say "They lack belief in any deity" full stop

the existence/non existence of deities is relegated to the same places Bigfoot, man with 500 hands who resides in the moon and cannot be photographed, Diamond the shape of a man in the middle of the planet called "@+£&@:£-#:£-#", The 32 billion dollars you have in your domiciliary account, the invisible pink unicorn you conversed with yesterday are

Theism : There is a God or there are deities

A-Theism : There is no God or there are no deities

What you see above are the basic definitions . The rejection , lack of belief or whatever are just embellishments .

That's why Diagoras of Melos according to history is the first atheist because He declared that there were no gods

Lol, anyone, even a priest can contribute to science! There are always rooms for new discoveries in science, it doesn't matter if you are religious or not, as far as you have experimented, observed and evaluated something, science welcomes it with a broad mind, unlike religion..

Now when the madness sets in is when you start making useless arguments like the one I illustrated above, that's when we'll totally ignore you!

If you believe that even priests can contribute to science, then there is no need trying to paint Religion as an inhibitor to innovation. Its a big contradiction to the purpose of your thread.
