I already offered dictionary definitions for both LACK and ABSENCE and you obviously found them unsatisfactory which was why you said LACK has MANY definitions yet you want me to further provide more dictionary definitions for you?

I want you to do us the honours.

DeSepiero:
spacetacular , what are you really deducing about atheists from the definition provided, and how does it relate to your story in the original post?

branhampaul:
English language is Dynamic, in religious context LACK means disbelief.

branhampaul:
Atheism & Deism is like 5 & 6. they almost the same thing.

If there was a deity, then the earth should have been exactly as the bible's "Garden of Eden" was.

ofcourse, there are numerous entity, you yourself is an entity. Atheism refutes a deity not entity.

You cannot force me to show you the big picture can you?

You cannot force me to show you the big picture can you?

(your questions show the DESIRE TO KNOW AND REACH FOR SOMETHING BEYOND MAN) . This is subconsciously inherent in every one.

You want me to immediately make clear to you what you are in the dark about and I say I WILL MOVE AT A CERTAIN PACE. however you are not satisfied by this so as your comment implies would rather pull away than stay to quench THIS DESIRE TO KNOW in you.

That COULD have been how you became an atheist? Could that be your epiphany? You were eager to know but could not be patient enough to know.

Look at me as God in my comment and then draw your inference from that.

I am hungry for your epiphany. Feed me.

spacetacular:

Lack you say means disbelief and disbelief is the inability or refusal to accept that something is true or real.

So if you are UNABLE or REFUSE to accept that God or gods are real then SHARE with us how you arrived at this position. It's that simple.

Share your epiphany! I am eager to read about it.

hopefulLandlord:


I'm not here for whatever big picture you have in your head, I read the OP and I've answered OP, if you want atheists to tell their own personal journey to atheism, then you need to open a separate thread for that, infact there are many such threads already

don't make your own thread DOA and tell us how ny definition now relates to Washing blood of a John Doe

Can you please prove that ALL humans are born with the desire to KNOW God?

Deism is a type of theism , its a theological position on the nature of God . And deists hate atheism with passion . You can visit their website @ www.deism.com to see for yourself .



What?! What concerns the bible with atheists ? What kind of red herring is this ? Not all theists even agree with the bible or see the world that way . Please try again , your response is just outlandish .



That means atheism does not reject the existence of the First Cause , it just denies its deification ?

First cause with respect to what?

branhampaul:
u're Ridiculous! so if someone lack a belief in the existence of Ben 10, does that mean Ben 10 is authentic or true.

The Condition of the World made me an Atheist.

Have you dropped your epiphany yet? Remember I said I will only work with what you give me and not what I propose.

spacetacular:


I will only work with what they give to me. I want to move AT THEIR PACE. A lot of them would not understand what you just wrote.

spacetacular:


I do not think you understand what you are saying and what I am saying as well.

We have looked at lack and absence and given several definitions of them and you are taking us backward with this misunderstanding you have.

Can you share those specific world conditions with us?

branhampaul:
I use to be a deist. For me I see both of them as almost the same. I don't believe or accept what a website says, I think for myself. I never said all theist agree with the bible, I just gave an example of how the earth would have been if there was a God.
what do you mean by the phrase First Cause ?

NairalandSARS:


Actually you are the one expected to drop your "epiphany"

branhampaul:
stop askin me stupid questions!! you know the earth's conditions.

The comment in bold text isn't entirely true about you.

You forget that it's the same website definition for your atheism you offered here.

KingEbukasBlog:


Yeah , I totally agree . BrahamPaul is already floundering helplessly . When will they realize how idiotic and senseless atheism is ?

branhampaul:
kindly prove it? what website? pls cite.

I don't see anywhere in that there where it was proven that man was wired to believe in God.
I was introduced to the God Idea at the age of 4, prior to that, I had never conceived of God or anything close to that.

I already stated a clause. I WILL ONLY WORK WITH WHAT YOU GIVE ME AND NOT WHAT I PROPOSE.

My epiphany isn't the focus. I am not the one who said "I DO NOT BELIEVE IN God or gods" am I?
