So you know more about whether I'm religious than I do? I'm not enforcing anything on anyone, but you want to enforcer your definition of atheism on me and other atheists. I choose my own identity, thank you very much. Typical christian - it was the arrogance and intellectual causistry of christians like you who first caused me to question religion in general.
Faith has nothing whatsoever to do with my lack of belief in god, I used my brain to come to that conclusion over many years. I don't need to prove there's no god: if you or anyone else produces proof that there is one, I will reconsider my position.
Being human is an observable fact: are you seriously suggesting that's analagous to the beliefs I hold in my mind? Ooooh now I'm really worried: am I conversing with the allseeing allknowing god who can see what's inside my head? Reveal yourself if you exist and my brain will quite easily change my beliefs based on proof, not faith.
I have a better idea of what the word 'religion' means than you do. It's not my definition, it's the most common definition - why are you so stubborn?
You say you choose your identity. It's the same as choosing to be a police officer but saying you're not a 'police officer' and you choose your own title because you have the right to. That's well and good, but expect to be of an amusement to people who know you are a police officer!
How were you able to deduce that I was a Christian? Do you, like a lot of other atheists pay little to no attention to any beliefs that are not your own? Do you stick your fingers in your ears and chant? It almost seems like you're doing it now.
"Faith has nothing whatsoever to do with my lack of belief in god, I used my brain to come to that conclusion over many years. I don't need to prove there's no god: if you or anyone else produces proof that there is one, I will reconsider my position."
Well, faith has nothing whatsoever to do with my belief in God, I used my brain to come to that conclusion over many years. I don't need to prove there's a God: if you or anyone else produces proof that there isn't one, I will reconsider my position.
Can you see the weaknesses in your own statement? I tweaked it a bit to show you.
We both are incapable of proving our beliefs to one another, that is the constitutent of our faiths. Yet you stubbornly assume that you are correct, and that I am wrong. You have the right to do so, but it's childish and rather frustrating.
End of pointless debate. I'm quite happy to agree to disagree about this, resesrving my right to define myself however I choose and to allow you the same about yourself, but not about me or anyone else.
should religion be taught in public schools?
