a creation infers a creator--- who or what this is, is the proper question.

You say atheism, which by any definition must mean non belief, is a belief! That's word games for you.




In the same manner everyone is born atheist. They have to either be brainwashed into or choose to become theist.

i don't agree. i was born agnostic, but looked around and infered a creator-- i believe this is the true natural and scientific state of mind--- i'm not talking about man's construct of creator just that a prime mover makes more sense intuitively and intrinsically than stating a creator DOES NOT exist.

the word game are phrases like "peter pan exists cause I can't prove he doesn't" so just subsitute god for peter pan--thats the word game the atheist play.

Just like everyone you were born only with your ethnicity, not with your religion and in that way - atheist.

The word game starts with the theist, without it there would be no atheist.
"You can't prove God does not exist"...word game.

if theist means religion, then you are correct. however, theist does not mean religion--in the broad sense.

Yawn...

Been there, done that.

Guess I have to repeat it.

If the inability or capacity to form an idea of and subsequent belief in God is the state of atheism, then a big steaming pile of cow dung is an atheist.

Therefore those adults who are atheists=a big steaming pile of cow dung.
