How can God not exist?

[Jan Ardena]

Yes, and if you actually understood English you'd realise that that particular definition is effectively a colloquialism i.e. not a literal usage.
And you're also ignoring the fact that atheism also covers non-belief: how can one "devotedly follow" a non-belief? Or believe in a non-belief?

It's a definition regardless what you think, and it
fits with my analasys.

Atheism means non-belief in God.

Is naturalism a religion?

No, it's a philosophy.

 

[Jan Ardena]

And after claiming it's a religion you give us a philosophical definition.
Fail again.

I didn't claim it to be a religion, merely what is believed in.

[YoYoPapaya]

Yes... Yet somebody referred to it as atheist religion lol...
And atheism is not just non-belief in "God". It's non-belief in any and all supernatural phenomena.

 

[Dywyddyr]

It's a definition regardless what you think

A philosophy is not a religion.

and it fits with my analasys.

You mean "prejudice" not analysis.

Atheism means non-belief in God.

Which I stated. So I return to my earlier question:

how can one "devotedly follow" a non-belief? Or believe in a non-belief?

 

[YoYoPapaya]

you mean the athiest religion?

jan.

Then what's this?

 

[Dywyddyr]

I didn't claim it to be a religion, merely what is believed in.

That would be false:

you mean the athiest religion?

 

[Enmos]

Oops

 

[Jan Ardena]

Dywyddyr,

A philosophy is not a religion.

Irrelevant.

You mean "prejudice" not analysis.

No. I mean analasys.

Which I stated. So I return to my earlier question:

Your wasting time.
I didn't say the atheist religion was non-belief in God.

jan.

 

[Jan Ardena]

That would be false:

Your point?

jan.

 

[YoYoPapaya]

No but the term "atheist religion" is wrong. There is no such thing.

Why keep trolling, when we already know what you're up to?

 

[Dywyddyr]

Irrelevant.

Wrong.
You're claiming there's an atheist religion. When asked to provide evidence you show us a philosophy. The two do not equate.

Your wasting time.
I didn't say the atheist religion was non-belief in God.

If atheism is a non-belief then what exactly are you claiming is the "atheist religion"?
Try to be clear.

 

[Dywyddyr]

Your point?

jan.

That you're lying or trolling again.

 

[Jan Ardena]

Wrong.
You're claiming there's an atheist religion. When asked to provide evidence you show us a philosophy. The two do not equate.


If atheism is a non-belief then what exactly are you claiming is the "atheist religion"?
Try to be clear.

I've already made myself clear.

jan.

 

[Dywyddyr]

I've already made myself clear.
jan.

And also been incorrect.
There is no "atheist religion".
You have singularly failed to support this claim.

 

[Jan Ardena]

No but the term "atheist religion" is wrong. There is no such thing.

You're in denial, as I've already given adequate explanation.
I don't consider the term ''atheist religion'' inflamatory, or derogatory, and
there is no reason to think this. So your accusation of ''trolling'' is baseless, and plain wrong.

jan.

 

[Dywyddyr]

You're in denial, as I've already given adequate explanation.

No , you haven't.
You've made generalisations and vague references which don't tie up, but you haven't made given anything approaching an adequate explanation. Nor have you proved your point.

I don't consider the term ''atheist religion'' inflamatory, or derogatory, and there is no reason to think this. So your accusation of ''trolling'' is baseless, and plain wrong.

Also wrong.
You're trolling because there is no such thing as an "atheist religion".
And you have been told this on numerous occasions.
There have been entire threads devoted to it.

All true, except for:

... as I've already given adequate explanation.

which is simply just incorrect:

And also been incorrect.
There is no "atheist religion".
You have singularly failed to support this claim.

Sorry Jan, but I'm afraid you're going to have to address this somehow.

 

[Jan Ardena]

All true, except for:

Sorry Jan, but I'm afraid you're going to have to address this somehow.

I'm afraid I have addressed it, but I go through it breifly.

I gave definition of 'religion', which fitted my analasys.
I gave a definition of 'naturalism', the belief system of the atheist.

[Jan Ardena]

No , you haven't.

You seem to think that just because you say something, it
should be taken as truth. Why is that?
