Re: Christianism Personified

^do you often define yourself on what you don't believe in?

Are you also an a-fairyist? An a-easterbunny? I think that's what he's trying to say:

It starts off the proposition that god does exist, without proving it.

there are several situations where this is the case. One can be a non-smoking, non-drinking, nonpartisan, asexual, deaf mute.

She believes in Christianity; you believe in atheism. At the end of the day, it's still a belief you can't prove - i.e., it requires some degree of faith on your part. Atheists and theists have more in common than one might initially think..

there actually is no such thing as athiesm, simply because you do believe in a certain idea.(no god) agnostic is what ya are.(choose to ignore religion)

no, atheism is believing that there is no god. so it certainly it exists, because there are people who do not believe in god. can't get any simpler than that.

it always groups that are the problem. people should be skeptical of ideological groups. hence when atheists come under attack as being similar to the religious, it's because they are beginning to treat their non-belief as something that they have in common. where in fact, it's this type of behavior that makes religions inherently bad, and not the deism itself.

Re: Christianism Personified

lmao. it depends what you define as "god." it is more like, " i do not believe in a anthropomorphic conception of god" (?) or a endless, ethic/moral, hierarchical understanding etc. no i am not a atheist or agnostic. or religions, anymore.

imo. athiesism is the cousin of these lunnies :

Nihilist: We believe in nothing, Lebowski. Nothing. And tomorrow we come back and we cut off your chonson.
The Dude: Excuse me?
Nihilist: I said
[shouting]
Nihilist: We'll cut off your johnson!
Nihilist #2: Just you think about that, Lebowski.
Nihilist #3: Yeah, your wiggly penis, Lebowski.
Nihilist #2: Yeah and maybe we stomp on it and squoosh it, Lebowski.
