    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    At this point, I don't think you actually know what you're saying...all you know is you are disagreeing with me. :poke: Ain't nobody got time for that... bFEoMO0pc7k

    Catholic Church: Hillary is Satanic

    The Church hierarchy may have more pressing matters than to attend to every view stated by every private group that unofficially affiliates itself with the Church. I don't see a lack of response to disagree as necessarily being agreement. I think if one wants to know the Church's official...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    Yes, and one can be "without gods" without necessarily stating the claim that there are no God/gods. One only needs to reject the claim that there are God/gods to be "without God/gods." To say that an atheist is only those who claim there are no God/gods is to neglect all those who simply reject...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    I really just don't want anyone coming away from this site with the wrong idea about what atheism actually is. :)

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    Josiah is saying that atheism is a belief that there are no gods, while I'm saying that atheism is no belief in gods as the word would indicate. Josiah is holding on to the baggage added to the word, an antiquated and erroneous definition that includes only a small part of the overall atheist...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    That's a complex question, whose answer lies in The Neuroscience of Empathy. However, this thread is not for debating the existence of God/gods, it is simply to put forth the correct definition of atheism for the benefit of those who may be confused about it and who are willing to learn.

    Republicans

    Yes, fan boys will be fan boys, that's for sure. It takes the thinking out of the equation. I have heard people say things like "Trump has the guts to say things that need to be said." I guess I hear him differently, because all I hear coming out of his mouth is stupidity. He has all the charm...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    Isn't "believing that God doesn't exist" the same thing as "not believing in God"? No, it is not. Let's break down the equation: » Believe no God = No belief in God » (Yes) Believe No God = (No) Belief God » (Yes) Belief = (No) Belief » Yes = No Obviously, it is illogical. One can't dismiss...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    I am agnostic AND an atheist. I am agnostic because I do not claim knowledge, as there's no evidence to legitimately do so. I am atheist because I reject the claim of theism. Anyone who claims knowledge in an effort to persuade, whether they be theist or atheist, has a burden of proof. It just...

    Republicans

    That's a great question. I think Trump's appeal lies mainly in those who are as ignorant of political affairs as Trump is, and most people here have no clue about global affairs or would be able to point by finger to the 7 continents on a world map. So, I would say the main reasons a clown like...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    Languages evolve change with time, but atheism means without theism as it indicates. It means without (a) belief in gods (theism), not belief there are no gods. It's really that simple. It's not that meaning was stripped, it's that illegitimately added baggage (by those with deceptive agendas...

    Myth: Atheism is a Denial of God That Requires Faith

    Misunderstanding the Definition of Atheism: The most common misunderstanding about atheism involves the definition. Many people insist that atheism is really the denial of the existence of God, but there are two errors here. First, it pretends that atheism is exclusively about their god, the...

    Burden of Proof

    Yes, the persistent stumbling block of the OP is the failure to understand that atheism is not the claim that God/gods do not exist, but rather the simple rejection of the claim of existence. I suspect this failure arises solely from the intellectually dishonest intent to put the burden of proof...
