HellVictorinho4:The question was Is a person who acknowledges the existence of Deities but doesn't worship ANY an atheist or a theist? Are Buddhists Atheists or Theists!? They do not worship any god! |

LordReed:Because you are being evasive: can you tell me other things you LACK a BELIEF in other than God? |

LordReed: I think “lack of belief” falls under this

HellVictorinho4:The important thing is the definition of LACK of a BELIEF! A baby is a person and lacks any form of belief: but a baby is NOT an atheist just as a Dog cannot be an atheist! |

TenQ: Correct. 1 Like

HellVictorinho4:Babies actually lack any form of belief because they don't yet possess an intellectual capacity to form an opinion with respect to the existence of Deities |
Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by TenQ: 8:11pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
HellVictorinho4:The same reason an animal cannot be an atheist is the same reason a baby cannot be an atheist: yet both definitely LACK a BELIEF in the existence of any Deity! The common ground is the low intellectual capacity of both babies and animals! |
Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by TenQ: 8:17pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
Dtruthspeaker:Therefore they lack a belief! Babies don't have any belief about ANY Deity. The definition of Atheism as a Lack of Belief is nonsensical and absurd at the same time. Animals lack a belief in any deity just as babies lack a belief for exactly the same reason. Their intellectual capacity is too small and immature to take a reasonable position about any deity! Atheism properly defined is a REJECTION of the idea of the existence of any Deity OR a DISBELIEF in the existence of any Deity BUT certainly not a LACK of BELIEF. It takes either a zero intellectual capacity or a gnostic knowledge to claim a LACK of BELIEF in anything |

TenQ: There is no "they lack a belief" exactly it is not proper to say a 5 year old boy lacks a job in NNPC or BSC certificate. |

LordReed: A person that has heard or read about God but doesn't believe is an atheist. A person that has neither heard or read about and doesn't believe is also an atheist. It's impossible to believe what you have not really recognized as a statement that is either true or false. You also can't reject what you never recognized to be available for acceptance. Literally,a baby or an infant is a person at the stage where there's no recognition of something to be accepted or rejected mentally as true or false. So, you know the baby is an atheist because the baby can't recognize what means God exists or not. The baby doesn't have to think about being an atheist.....it was never a theist. Being an atheist doesn't mean thinking of being an atheist. Adult atheists can think of other things. Baby atheists don't think of things they can't process with their brains. Atheists are people that don't think God exists. They are not people that must be thinking of why God does not exist. They don't have to state how God does not exist! Their brains are to suggest that there's no thought worth God. They are not meant to think when God is being discussed . Not because their brains are useless but because they are yet to see or hear anything worth their brains about God A baby expresses this by not pretending to have nothing to say or sincerely saying nothing while a non-baby always has something to say to express that God's existence is not worth thinking about. |

HellVictorinho4: You are talking to the wrong person, I made no request |
Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by Dtruthspeaker: 8:49pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
HellVictorinho4: We have already seen how adults choose not to believe eg a man choosing not to believe that he is in love with a prostitute as proven by a thread in romance or so. |
Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by TenQ: 8:54pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
Maynmann:How can babies be atheists? That means that all dogs are atheists? Insane people are Atheists: do you agree with this? |
Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by Maynmann: 8:57pm On Jun 23, 2022 |

Dtruthspeaker: He might have said he chooses not to believe. But that doesn't mean not believing is by choose. If you don't believe, it's a matter of chance because the absence of a belief is accidental. |
Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by HellVictorinho4(m): 9:02pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
[quote author=Maynmann post=114095612][/quote] The writers are confused. They still listed babies among atheists.....implicit soft atheists. |

HellVictorinho4: “Include”

Re: Dear Theists, This Is The Real Definition Of Atheism by TenQ: 9:05pm On Jun 23, 2022 |
Dtruthspeaker:The definition of Atheism as a Lack of Belief is nonsensical at best. An insane person on the street may lack a belief in any Deity BUT is he an Atheist? 1. He is a person 2. He lacks a belief in any deity All conditions for Atheism fulfilled according the LordReed , HellVictorinho4 and the OP- Bacteriologist A human being in coma is also an Atheist! 1. He is a person 2. He lacks a belief in any deity All conditions for Atheism fulfilled according the LordReed , HellVictorinho4 and the OP- Bacteriologist |
