LordReed:
LoLz! Where did you get such a definition?

Hismasterpiece:
Okay, how would you define belief?

LordReed:
Confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.

Hismasterpiece:
Does this your definition apply only to religious folk or is this a general view?

LordReed:
General.

Hismasterpiece:
So I take it that you don't believe in having beliefs? You have no beliefs?

LordReed:
I personally do not do beliefs, other people can have them.

LordReed:
General.

Hismasterpiece:
So you believe that all beliefs are not based on evidence? Even Atheistic beliefs?

LordReed:
I don't think belief is necessary if you have facts.

Give me examples of atheistic belief.

Hismasterpiece:
Belief isn't necessary if you have facts? What do you refer to as 'an opinion about a fact or facts' if not belief?

Hismasterpiece:
Lol... What in the world did I just read? So if someone were to ask you, 'What do you believe about climate change' what would be your response?

mariovito:
Leave us alone.

Do you think an atheist hasn't thought all of this gibberish you put up there through?

I should spend one year to find out whether god is real or not, am I that jobless and useless?

He should step out of the shroud of secrecy and show himself.


Show me incontrovertible facts and proofs of your gods existence and I wont have to believe in his existing but agree and accept his existence.

Belief comes into play when there's lack of evidence, belief is a mere play on the emotions.

How does it make sense believing in an all powerful and knowing God when all those attributes do not actually exist and can't reside in one being?

finally, if truly the god depicted in the bible as yhwh or Jehovah truly exists, I can't be forced to follow him because the character has some of the greatest personality flaws ever. Egotistical, ill tempered, deceptive, wicked, evil, psychotic sadist, these are some of the attributes exhibited by the Christian god and I'd rather not associate with such a person.

If truly there's a god hidden somewhere and he has been very unconcerned about the plight of the downtrodden, the poor, humans in war torn areas, I have no business with him and he should be the one actually seeking my forgiveness.

LordReed:
And I would answer I have no beliefs about climate change.

LordReed:
Why do you need an opinion on a fact?

Meanwhile I am still waiting for examples of atheistic beliefs.

Hismasterpiece:
Ok, what if I were to ask you, 'what do you think about climate change'?

Hismasterpiece:
Atheistic beliefs like, 'There is no God'

An opinion is simply a belief, what you think that is based on facts.

LordReed:
I don't have such a belief. Any other example?

Opinions don't have to be based on facts, they are simply personal perspectives.

LordReed:
I would say the data shows high degrees of change that may become catastrophic in future.

Hismasterpiece:
And what would you describe as your view of the data? Wouldn't you say, I believe the data shows high degrees of change that may become catastrophic in future?

LordReed:
No, I wouldn't say that.

Hismasterpiece:
So what shalt thou say?

LordReed:
I would say the data shows high degrees of change that may become catastrophic in future.

Hismasterpiece:
Yeah you would say that because you 'believe' it.
