Atheism is NOT a belief, it is a lack of a belief.
Why am I no longer God ? :shrug: :bawl:
Have you found God or something ?
Wiki wakki don't cut it.
Look it the f**k up! In a REAL dictionary, preferably print as they tend to be more thorough.
There wasn't? News to me.That was a cheap shot.
My copy of Liddel and Scott's Greek - English Lexicon. published by Oxford in 1892 defines " atheos" ( theta transliterated ) as
1. Without gods 2. DENYING THE GODS
Denial counts as a belief in my book.
For your information, there were no PCs in 1892
Ok genius. What do you call a person who simply gives zero credence to the idea of god(s)?There wasn't? News to me.
Seriously tho, That sort of reference does count in my book, so to speak.
But why having no respect for Wiki Wakki counts as a cheap shot...:shrug:
But then, we are not discussing the word 'atheos', are we. That sounds more like a predecessor type word. (My spell check doesn't recognize it. No biggie. Just an asnide) sic
When I first joined S-F I spent a huge amount of time typing on this very subject, but forget which thread... I'll see if I can find it.
Atheists, and their "Our Lady of the Scientific Method", refuse to see their position as one of faith!
Not one dictionary supports "soft atheism" or whatever it called.
If I propose a position based on the definition of a word, and every dictionary in which I look the word up gives a definition other than mine, and they are ALL consistent with each other, tell me, is it sane or rational to continue to assert that the dictionaries are wrong?
I looked in five major dictionaries and two encyclopedias, and they all said basically the same thing: Atheism is the belief that there is no god.
They (the dictionaries) do not refer to it as simply a 'Lack Of Belief' in god, that's called agnosticism.
Show me two or three Reference Books that support Soft Atheism or what ever you call it.
In english.
This does not include books by "some guy/gal" or wiki waki pidea.
Coward.You Know, not once have I suggested the Easter Bunny, or Santa Clause, any number of such fanciful entities.
Nor have I brought up a anthropomorphized god, benevolent or otherwise, except in response.
These have all been the suggested by the Atheists. Humm, funny that.
Now, if you want to discuss Mr.s Bunny and Clause as cultural archetypes, well that would be the subject of another thread, wouldn't it?
Besides, Are you suggesting that the Easter Bunny is god?
SL:
Ok genius. What do you call a person who simply gives zero credence to the idea of god(s)?
Is everyone who simply gives no credence to the easter bunny denying the existence of the easter bunny? Or developing a "belief system" surrounding the disbelief in the easter bunny?
Why can't you take the word exactly as it's written and how actual atheists tell you it's meant? Without god.
How can you build a belief system around a lack of belief? Sounds pretty stupid to me. Listen to this and get it through your linguistically challenged skull:
Saying "I don't believe in a god" is not the same as saying "I believe there is no god". Get it?
