Religious Views?

[Qwepir]

sort of
it's the belief of the opposite of religion
it's the belief that there's nothing to believe in, religiously :P

no you idiot it's simply refusing to believe
saying "I believe Santa Claus does not exist" is not the same thing as "I refuse to believe Santa Claus exists."

it's the belief that there's nothing to believe in

Holy forget how much longer are you going to continue that

[Fredulus]

it's not a belief of anything.
it's a rejection of "belief".

are you dumb?

such a bulley

[Squideey]

Being a skeptic means taking EVERYTHING with a grain of salt. It's pretty hard and I admit not being 100% perfect at it.

actually I'm too biased for that lolo

[Daedalus]

saying "I believe Santa Claus does not exist" is not the same thing as "I refuse to believe Santa Claus exists."

my bad, I thought they were the same.
could you please remove the stick in your ass so we can keep actually discussing rather than just insulting each other?

well, isn't the rejection of a belief agnosticism? :o
because as an agnostic I feel that belief in either side is stupid.
atheists tend to believe that there is no higher power.
that's just how I see it

Holy forget how much longer are you going to continue that

I thought it was essentially the same thing. can everyone just stop being so angry and actually go back to discussing religion? it's scary that I can't speak about the subject without being flamed and called an idiot by people who I previously considered my friends

Maybe if you actually used your brain for once you won't be pissing a multitude of people off.

is me saying that "atheism is the belief in there being no deity" really enough to piss you off?
the definition is nearly the same as what you said.
besides, I agree with what you've presented in this thread.
sit down, take a deep breath, and make yourself a cup of tea. I'm not doing anything that should piss you off this badly, bro.

No, you are not the sole issue here, don't get full of yourself. When I see people getting this stuff wrong countless times, it starts to get a little loving old.

the definition is nearly the same as what you said.

It isn't. It's like confusing "I don't like ice cream" (not believing in something) and "I hate ice cream" (believing something to be false).

[Daedalus]

okay, well, you appear to have anger solely targeted towards me
you're seriously getting worked up over something really insignificant

It isn't. It's like confusing "I don't like ice cream" (not believing in something) and "I hate ice cream" (believing something to be false).

yes.
I COMPLETELY agree with this.
But I'm saying they're pretty similar.
By saying you hate ice cream, you're also saying you don't like it.
*DISCLAIMER* I am not saying they're the same thing, I'm just saying the message is very similar.

[RedGajin]

not loving someone is loving not loving someone

^daedalus logic guis

[Daedalus]

not loving someone is loving not loving someone

^daedalus logic guis

can you just accept my acceptance of being wrong and loving move on
you're wrong with the love thing by the way
it's more like
"I don't love someone" is similar to "I hate someone"
that's my logic
but seriously
I'm gonna go to bed soon, so let's see if swat one will come back in and start talking about religion so we can actually discuss what's meant to be discussed

[Sirherg1]

you stupid motherforgeter atheism is the rejection of deities
it's the total loving lack of belief

You could assume that but the definition for atheism is "the doctrine or BELIEF that there is no God."

A belief "confidence; faith; trust: a child's belief in his parents."

Notice how it mentioned faith?

Lol, atheism is not having faith in no god, it is believing that there is no god. That does not mean that all atheists are religious.
That is seriously the worst argument I have ever heard.

this is true
faith has nothing to do with atheism, really
