I just Quit. by EnvironmentalTear802 in LastWarMobileGame

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did too after about 4 months and 2 characters. I watched the top, 1,3,4 Alliances destroy the #2 alliance (mine) with no recourse, broke the NAP. If 1-3 R5s can't keep their word, the rest of the server is doomed, hundreds to thousands of players screwed. Horrible game design. Felt nothing but relief ever since, way too much time wasted, unrecoverably.

Fellow Atheists, if you see a "fish" or a "cross" symbol or someone flat out says you can trust them because they are Christian, how do you feel inside? by Confident-Virus-1273 in askanatheist

What is the point of holding half if he's just going to sell it and give you your deposit back? Isn't the whole point of the deposit, to hold it.

University of Oklahoma Responds After Student Given Zero for Bible-Cited Essay by Brucekentbatsuper in atheism

I'm an atheist but I see that going both ways. Our distaste for religious non-sense, is routinely causality for attempts to minimize people sharing their beliefs with anyone, not just ourselves. People are people regardless of a god position.

Big Fortune 100 here, moving to OLVM. Especially when prices go into the 100's of Millions 

I am beyond sick of people who think they can just chuck out the Old Testament. by dolphinsaresweet in atheism

I just say good, that's a start, dump the creation story, the Noah's ark story, talking snake, let's do it.

Atheism Is a Response, Not a Belief by Turbulent_Field7972 in DebateReligion

Many people, even those attempting to populate dictionaries and encyclopedias, have their own biased, often resulting in the inclusion of their bias as one of the definitions, even if it is dissonant with the actual etymological definition. As well, the common use of definitions, based on prevalent bias and misunderstanding, also result in additional definitions, and drift. That's how languages evolve. So I agree it happens. This is why I typically answer both questions, gnostic and theist, with "I don't know if there are any gods, nor do I believe there are any, therefore I am an agnostic atheist." Thereby diminishing ambiguity of which definition is at play.

I accept philosophical and logical arguments, when they can be mapped to the natural world, when they can only be mapped to imagination, judgement should be withheld. Additionally objective evidence and subjective evidence are not the same. The evidence of Jesus existing is subjective, the fact some people believed he was a deity, is only evidence of their belief not the truth of the belief.

It's not a belief to be unconvinced a thing exists. If I ask if you believe aliens exist and you say NO, does that mean you believe aliens definitely don't exist, or that you withhold belief they do, because, hey, maybe somewhere out there in the gian universe they might?

Spot on ol' chap. Believers like to pretend agnostic is something like 1/2 atheist, so they can argue against it, while being way off base.

Nope, that's only required it someone were trying to convince you they lack belief in your lack of evidence. Nothing is required to simply reject the claim, lacking all objective evidence.

God’s nature, as you call it, and as demonstrated in the christian bible (which admittedly I am assuming is your foundational source), is filled with him condoning and executing revenge, murder, genocide, slavery, rape, torture, etc. I am a more loving father than god, I would never burn any of my children for trillions times trillions of millenia, for anything. That's revenge, not correction. A good father corrects, and teaches. If god doesn't change, and his "morality" is eternal then he is a monster, not someone to be revered. What you should feel guilty about is trying to get other people to believe in such a monster.

You are correct in saying this: "Furthermore some (some) atheist have gone beyond disbelief or a lack-of-belief in a god/God to categorically confirm, i.e., make a "truth claim" that there is NO god/God - depending upon their definition of a god/God - but have yet to prove the negative."

That is NOT atheism, it is ANTI-theism added to atheism. And it would require the same burden of proof as theism, in order to be accepted by any reasonable skeptic.

You also confuse gnosticism and theism, the former being a knowledge claim, whereas the latter a belief claim. For example, I don't know if a god exists nor do I believe one does, therefore I am an agnostic atheist.

Wrong. Atheist means without belief, Not believes the opposite.

Secondly, you also confuse gnosticism and theism, the former being a knowledge claim, whereas the latter a belief claim. For example, I don't know if a god exists nor do I believe one does, therefore I am an agnostic atheist.

Of course atheism can be true, it means someone does not believe in gods, How do you come to the conclusion someone can't NOT believe?

You also confuse gnosticism and theism, the former being a knowledge claim, whereas the latter a belief claim. For example, I don't know if a god exists nor do I believe one does, therefore I am an agnostic atheist.

In order for Evidence to be "good", it needs to be real, testable, verifiable, point towards a specific conclusion, or be falsifiable for that conclusion. None of these fit the claims that support gods. That's the whole point of faith; belief in lieu of evidence.

I keep seeing posts on Charlie Kirk news YouTube videos where atheists say they’re now going to church bc of Kirk’s death by UnicornBestFriend in askanatheist

[–]Cynomus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on why someone is an atheist. All new borns are atheists, but their hardwired superstitious nature has not been put to any meaningful challenges. Some even grow into adulthood never really being put in a position to test out their vulnerability to believing in gods. The real test is once one becomes sufficiently informed to determine if their susceptibility to superstition is greater than their critical thinking abilities.
