Atheism, fuck yeah!!!

 

[Funky Monk]

i'm going to identify soley with secular humanism, simply because all religions i have encountered are, to me, farcical bollocks from a long, long time ago, in a sandpit far, far away.
And the atheist/agnostic divide does not hold any particular interest for me, i am concerned only with that which relates to tangible existence.

 

[Oobadoo]

Atheist; though if substantial evidence is presented before me I am willing to change, as I assume everyone else would if given the opportunity.

duh, i think there would be very few atheists unwilling to alter their position if adequate evidence were supplied. you know, science.....

i can already imagine how redfaced Dawkins would be if this ever did happen

Do you believe science is the answer to everything?

Just curious.

 

[zombie omie jay]

Evidence ( or lack thereof) is why they are atheist in the first place

if verifiable scientific evidence proving the existance of god was presented of course we would believe

the sane ones wouldn't sign up for a maibstream religion still though as they are shithouse and backwards

Just curious.

Yeah basically.

 

[Sadiah]

Yeah basically.

Scorch!

I was waiting for you. I love the way you argue and come up with non-religious stuff.

Just curious.

In the sense that i only have time for answers that are resultant of science/reason/logic/evidence/experience etc, then yes, you might say that.
I also enjoy the mental gymnastics of philosophy, but i find that to be more concerned with the act of questioning, not with providing answers.

I like the way you provide reasonsing and justifications. I wish I could +rep you, but I've spreaded too much today.

"Atheism is the classic denial of belief in a god. 'Theos' means god and the 'a' means denial."

"Agnosticism is a slightly more humble assertion than atheism. 'Gnosis' means 'to know' and again the 'a' is the denial. Agnosticism therefore is merely saying 'I don't know'...strictly speaking, it is a very honest assertion that has grown out of an age where people feel free to be more honest about their religious thoughts...unlike the classic atheist, the agnostic is less likely to be driven by beliefs."

This could not be more wrong. Atheism is a lack of belief in a concept. Agnosticism and atheism are becoming increasingly linked and the distinction is really an unimportant one. Atheism in itself does not claim there is not a God but rejects the assertion that there is one; seeing as though agnosticism is a claim of uncertainty then it sides on a negative point, that is it also rejects belief in God.

They are almost exactly the same thing, but theists try to use distinctions between the two to cast more extreme connotations onto the word atheist.

I'm sorry but my definitions are cited accurately.
So, you can't blame me for making up anything.
