Atheism is Not a Religion, Ideology, Belief System, Philosophy

Quote from Free Thinker:

We Have A Responsibility…as unbelievers, we have a responsibility to the future of our species to do whatever we can to disseminate the science and eliminate the myth.

Quote from Brass:

Really? I thought it was the theists who had a theory. One that cannot be tested and, therefore, counts for nothing. Atheists simply choose not to accept untestable theories pulled out of the ass of Bronze Age tribesmen. So it's not so much what atheists are, but rather what they are not. They are not gullible, and they do not rely on the supernatural to form their world view. They choose reason over fantasy and scientific observation and testing over wishful thinking.

You all are a bunch of ideologues.

You don't believe in Santa Claus or the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster.

See how ridiculous that argument is?

Quote from stu:

No belief is a belief......nah that doesn't work either.

Sure it does High Priest Stu!!

The belief in a God (or Gods) came 1st.

Then came the belief there is no God (or Gods).

So the belief there is no God is a derivative of the belief in God.

Quote from CaptainObvious:

Great! You and your crew keep telling us what your not, what atheism isn't, so what is it? This is starting to read like one of those to good to be true classified ads. They go to great lengths telling you everything you won't have to do, but never really tell you what you will be doing. Usually ends up to be some type of sales job, which is what you're doing here. Selling! The harder you try to spin the tale, the more you show what hardcore believers you are in your idealogy.

No - High Priest Stu is not Selling. He is Preaching.

All Hail High Priest Stu!

Santa Claus and the Great Flying Spaghetti Monster may exist in an alternate universe.

Perhaps all of what we consider imagination are impressions of alternate existences in the infinity of countless multi-verses......

You know - like the way they theorize that gravity might actually be as strong as electromagnetism, but part of it's strength is leaking out of our 4-dimensional universe....

Maybe the concept of Batman and Santa Claus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster leaked in from theirs to ours....



Don't forget BINGO Night!!!!!

I'm starting weekly meetings dedicated to the ideology that little green aliens don't control our thoughts. I expect the meetings to be packed.

As I said, Atheism is a derivative of Theism.

You can't have non-belief until you have a belief first.

So Atheism is a belief that is counter to the original belief that there is a God.

BINGO Night?
