a position on one topic of debate....
there's lots of topics to have positions on dude. Not everything is about whether there is a god or not.

the universe you experience is all of you. you are the whole universe that you are experiencing, not separate from it. this goes back to a statement i made earlier, that god and the universe are words that mean the same thing. that we are the entire universe experiencing all of the possibilities of itself. that we are all the little masks of god. the self experiences each little linear reality at the same time, separately.




Yeah, I get it... we are part of the universe, not some entity looking at the universe from the outside. Very insightful.

So where's your evidence for god?

Oh yeah, god is everything right? Well I believe in everything too.

We're just playing with words.




Lol we ARE the universe, different perspectives, experiencing other perspectives from a perspective. You're the one playing with words and changing logic to apply it to another created false logic. Nice angles.




You're still playing with words. :yawn:

The only rational position is to not bring back to life threads that took way too long to die.  :crankey:

Wrong, this has been discussed in this thread way too many times. Atheism is a lack of belief in god. Atheism is not a belief.

The problem with this thread is that it's way too long so noobs won't bother to read through it all, and then just post the same thing on top of the pile. Can someone please lock this thread?

Btw, a disbelief is a belief...




No it isn't. A disbelief is a lack of belief.

For example:

A disability isn't an ability. It's a lack of an ability.
Disharmony isn't harmony, it's a lack of harmony.
etc.

I personally consider myself an atheist, and I hold the former position. This goes with any phenomena that have a lack of evidence. Gnomes, unicorns, a monster called Sparnax living in my attic... I simply can't include things(participate in a belief) in my world view unless there is some sort of evidence to lead to the conclusion that such phenomena should be included in my world view. There's infinity more possibilities of things that exist then do exist, and I don't really see it as sensible to create a long list of all the things I believe don't exist. Much more easier to just not think about them or believe in them unless future evidence brings the possibility that they could exist.

A disbelief is not a belief the same way that a disability is not an ability.

I don't have a list of things I don't believe in in my belief system. There's infinity more possible things that could exist than do exist, so it would be impossible to actively think of all the things I don't believe in.

fundamentalist atheist


There's no such thing as fundamental atheism, as there is no fundamentals to go back to, such as a bible, or other book.

I believe the quote TheOtherAdamSmith was referring to was:

"O monks and wise men, just as a goldsmith would test his gold by burning, cutting and rubbing it, so must you examine my words and accept them, not merely out of reverence for me."
