I find if so funny that people cannot accept that some else thinks or believes what they don't and have no ability (willingness?) to use listen to anothers words/meaning without hearing only what they want to argue about.
The word belief means--belief. Its retared to say someone cannot speak with certainty about their belief..its there belief if they aren't certain about it then it's not realy a belief is it? It's a sort of haphazard leaning. What is not certain is the connection between the belief and objective reality.
And I realy don't get the point of Fenawin and Hasbinbad. So you believe there are deities just not Christ? Or maybe all the other Earth based deities? Maybe you believe in Xenu and laugh at us silly non-Scientologist?
The throwing around of words like groundless instead of breaking down the logic I set down as to why an atheist does not believe in deities is avoidance. It's like me saying well it's groundless that you say atheism is groundless.
My real reason to responding to this thread was not that I care what anyone believes or doesn't. It was the fact that it became vague. Christians by defintion believe the things you enumerated in the first post Hasbinbad ( tho I'm sure they would not phrase them in the same way lol). Fenawin then attacked athiest in a way that was not accurate. By saying that all do this or believe that when there is only one single thing that defines atheisim is not on a level with the brilliant mocking of the original post. I love debate, I love sarcasm and paraody and satire. The problem is that when it degenerates into vague statements of personal ill will devoid of a relationship to what is supposedly targeted then it's simple and typical internet static.
Sorry this has been a bore to write so it must be mind numbing to read, but you ever get that hair up your arse over something and you just have to say something? Well I got that hair out so I'm going to say Happy Easter to all. Eat some choclate bunnies, think about Ol' Christos and all the other saviors we've had and the deities they are/represent. Ask yourself...just WTF IS a deity? That in a nutshell says wether or not you are athiest.
O, and no one honestly knows shit about anything. But using that card in any discussion is an instant buzz kill.
