Justify atheism. Please

I listened to Black Sabbath on 78 speed and saw God!

That's kinda his MO. He dodged my request for specifics in one of the covid threads.

Stop asking
No, I’m not sending you a pic.

This whole thread is ass backwards.

The folks who believe our lives and destinies are guided by a God or Supreme Being needs to prove it.

I’m tempted to start a thread titled “Justify Theism, Please” but I don’t think anyone would respond, including the OP of this one.

Agnosticism is not atheist

Quit fucking with language.

Language is meaning.

A stands for anti
Theism is belief in gods of any kind

Atheism is a firm belief in no gods or higher consciousness of any sort

Agnostic I get. It’s actually rational thought.
But anti higher consciousness is hard to understand. How the fuck do you know?

You seem to have a really hard time with understanding that words have meaning. How can you possibly look at what you wrote and that definition and think, “nailed it!”?

This is almost exactly when you claimed the Covid vaccine 95% efficacy meant it only protected against “severe cases”, because you “had looked into the studies. Then when you were confronted with actual sources that said it was 95% against symptomatic infection, you somehow proclaimed yourself correct.

[TBS]

Back on track here…

Religion! (ugh)
What is it good for?
Discuss

[abraham]

You misspelled 'Absolutely nothing!'

Say It Again!

the pope read this and is now an atheist. or he may be an agnostic. he isn't sure. he'll have to ask CS first for clarification.

And yet there are millions just like him on this planet. Limited critical thinking skills and inflated self worth. A bunch of very special snowflakes. Makes a strong case for being a misanthropist.

Which is why a decent education is so important. These mouth breathers are so lost, they think voting for a high school dropout is how you stick it to the man. They are proud of their ignorance and simplicity then blame liberals because the unstoppable progress of civilization has passed them by.

Anyway, you'll sit in that comfy chair, only moving for lunch and tea!

some one had to convince them

the downside of mandatory masking is you couldn't tell who the mouth breathers were

She tore him up

[grskier]

Yeah I get it but still in this instant, in this "present" that we have, I maintain it is me who decides whether I want a coke or a pepsi from the gas station cooler.

No Coke. Pepsi.

What an unsophisticated palate one must have that they flip flop back and forth between coke and pepsi on any given trip to the gas station.

The ones with their noses out. Ironically.

Tuning in late, but, uh, no the 'a' in atheist doesn't mean "anti-", it means "without-" (consider that "asymptomatic" doesn't mean ideologically anti-symptoms).

Practically speaking, "atheist" means that someone is so committed to a non-association with religion, that they are willing to embrace a widely demonized term like "atheist".

[highangle]

There's a bunch of atheists in the Church of Satan, Bob. So much for your "Sooo committed to a non-association with religion" theory, eh?

What if a person [or group] doesn't give a fuck about Kenneth Copeland's religious fear talk in the service of othering?
Is a term still "Demonized" if you don't buy or lend credence to the for-profit demonize-ation?

[bobz]

^ Not sure what your point is. Yeah, I would say that someone who is in the Church of Satan is very much committed to a non-association with (conventional) religion; duh?

[stuckathuntermtn]

But Satan in an invention of the Abrahamic religions. Most modern depictions and symbols come from the early Church converting the pagans.
If you're really an atheist (or even an agnostic), you don't fuck with that nonsense.
