Theology

[whiterabbit]

God abandon mankind because of humanities innate stupidity for putting asinine words into his mouth.

SiL gets it.

[Crazy Rich]

Going back he has a point. Rich says to be atheist means to be nothing. Which is as wrong as it is nonsensical. It means to believe in no deity, not "to be nothing".

To be nothing in relation to theism, which I explained afterwards clearly in a simple post. I didn't think I had to spell it out considering what thread we're in.

You... thought that reaction meme nonsense was clarity?

Also, I have to admit, I don't believe you. If you really meant 'in relation to theism', then you would have said so first. You only used that wording after you were being pinned down on your original claim. That, and 'to be nothing in relation to Theism' is a really strange and impractical way of saying 'Atheists disbelief in Deitys'.

Either way, if that's your position now, fine and thank you.

Which still doesn't really make sense. It's just a really, really bad way of putting it.

Besides the image, I used some pretty easy to understand words. Cal got it.

Well good for you, that's your choice.

Makes clear sense to me, but noted.

Let me try to explain what Rich was saying. Usually theists believe in something or identify with something like, "I'm a Christian, Muslim ect," but if you're an atheist and you believe in nothing, you're an atheist or in other words, 'nothing' because you don't identify with anything except for atheism. A run on sentence, but I don't give a f**k. That was my understanding of what Rich was trying to say.

I understand him now, but as I said, his choice of words were incredibly poor. Move on.

I thought the US was supposed to separate church from state? This seems to be dangerously close to breaking that.

To keep it simple, if religion is hair color, atheism is baldness.

That's why there are "militant atheists". We don't want eradication of religion, we just want it checked so that it doesn't interfere with the secular world. That article is what happens when religion isn't checked.

Yeah, mascots get denied.

I'm really going to miss hearing "Welcome to South Carolina, the Sabre Tooth Tiger State!".

I'm an atheist, happened when I was 12. I realized I was trying to believe in god and decided if you have to try to believe something, then you don't believe it. However, that being said I would be perfectly fine with waking up in hell after death and not just rotting in the ground orssitting on someone's mantle...or thier trophy wall.

Yeah, I'd be fine with being tortured for eternity and eventually being tossed into the lake of fire where you are destined to burn for the rest of your life. 2edgy4me

I think we all hope to be proven wrong when that time comes. It just makes more sense to live life in the now and immediate future and live a righteous life without being corrupted by the evilness of organized religion.
