ScienceWatch:
He admire your unigue intelligence

hopefulLandlord:
the dude started his second reply with the word "Firstly"

hopefulLandlord:
this is a good idea

DeRay98:
All these arguments by atheists na pure intellectual calystenics.
People who consider themselves intellectuals then to see everything in life purely from intellectual angle. If you disagree they see you as intellectually deficient and intellectually lazy.
They pride themselves as superior beings without admitting it, the love to argue about everything and speak grammar. The unfortunate thing is thT by the reality done on them we won't see them to ask what happened. Una do oh.

Lorhdany:
Don't mind the OP, Sir Tim Berners-Lee is worth $50 million and is currently a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Oxford. He is also a senior researcher at MIT. So the man is definitely not broke.

Sapiosexuality:
Lol. I understand. You are smart. You've seen the point. If that's your way of being honest, I see you.

Geofavor:
What/who is God?

"Atheism stops at disbelief in God".... Kindly replace GOD with its definition in this quoted clause of yours.

Sapiosexuality:
That's bullshi't and you know it. How was this opposite of atheism arrived at since it is not a belief? Logic? Emotions? A Fact? A Claim? What exactly is atheism if it is not a BELIEF?

sonofthunder:
its like you don't understand my position here... religious people are having a discussion as regards their religion and/or God and you think atheists should have a say... maybe why your brothers keep spamming threads with trash always.

Sapiosexuality:
Theism is a BELIEF in God or God's. A Belief. What is Atheism? A BELIEF too?

Geofavor:
Okay, let's break it down.

Do atheists believe in spirits ( a supernatural being)?

Geofavor:
Well, they aren't theist, neither are they atheist. They are simply agnostic s. Theists are certain God exists. Atheists are certain God doesn't exist. But agnostics say neither of them can say for sure.

danvon:
Let's see the end of stupid arguments like 'Atheist developed the world' 'Isaac Newton was an Atheist' 'Science opposes religion'

Geofavor:
Lolol. When I say "supernatural," I talk about unseen forces which constantly influence the physical , and not some myths like unicorns.

Geofavor:
Agnostics believe believe the concept of God cannot be understood. They are partly atheistic and theistic

Sapiosexuality:
But it is because you know something about that you reject it? You are in a neutral position like a new born baby. You decided to reject it because you studied it and know it is full of shit. So you know. And if you don't or think there proof is not good enough, why not stay neutral like an agnostic until you know a lot? Why should a man who knows there's no God be the same man who knows God is unknowable?

Geofavor:
No, but not entirely.

Geofavor:
This belief is contrasting. Isn't the concept of God itself a supernatural thing?

bkool7:
An agnostic believes it is impossible to know if god(s) exist ("Strong Agnosticism", or believes that the answer may in principle be discovered, but is currently not known ("Weak Agnosticism". Some agnostics feel that the answer is not important.

sonofthunder:
but you just said atheism is not a religion, can you please explain how you do not need another section to air your opinion of God because I believed its the religion of those in said section that ignites their views on the subject of God.
just like you said, it treats the subject of (belief in) God and not a disbelief... maybe Seun should create an irreligious or miscellaneous section.

Geofavor:
Not entirely. Atheist: entirely.

Sapiosexuality:
Doesn't the lack of belief in a deity suggest knowability?

Geofavor:
But it entertains beliefs of the supernatural

sirfee:
Can you back up the bolded statement.

what do you have to say about deism.

Sapiosexuality:
Google.

Atheism: Atheism is, in the broadest sense, the absence of belief in the existence of
deities.

Agnosticism: Agnosticism is the view that the existence of God , of the divine or the
supernatural is unknown or
unknowable.

Now Define Agnosticism Atheism?

Geofavor:
How? I disagree. Agnosticism is the bridge between Theism and Atheism.

Geofavor:
Buddhism is Theistic. They call their God Buddha.

Purebeerry:
You are either a free thinker or you are a religious person.

I choose to be religious.

Sapiosexuality:
Does this apply to every other definition or just to the definitions of Atheism and Agnosticism?

NothingDoMe:
@johnydon22. I'm of the opinion that a mortal man shouldn't make use of the word MUST when he doesn't have the power to enforce it.

Sapiosexuality:
That's bullshit. That's like saying Pantheism is Monotheism in a broad sense.
