What was your point?

kwangi: what kind of question is this?

Logicboy03:

Simple question

kwangi: Which kain guy you be?
My point is you can't be religious and atheistic at the same time.
Is this simple enough?

Logicboy03:


Your point is foolish.


Atheism is the disbelief in god.

Religion is a belief and a set of practices which are not always dependent on a belief in a god.



Simply put, you can be an atheist and religious at the same time.


Go and read about atheistic satanists or atheistic buddhists

Evil Brain:

Also, there's such a thing as a secular religion. Religion only requires that you suspend your common sense and accept a world view that should be quite obviously bullshît. Belief in god(s) is common, but not required.

Just like Christians believe Jesus walked on water, many people in North Korea believe that the late Kim Kong Il hit 9 consecutive holes in one the first time he ever stepped on a golf course.

Either that's a religion, or the guy was really, really good at sports.

kwangi: get over yourself dude.
You've been saying crap all along and here you are telling somebody his point is foolish when you can't Answer simple questions posed to you.
Don't worry you are not worth anybody's time.
Look at your pathetic definitions, tailored in baffling mischief. And you got the nerve to talk about foolish points.

Bélla3: Jinin Yesu! Did u just admit atheism is a religion?

Logicboy03:


How did you foolishly arrive at that conclusion from my comment?

kwangi: Dude, that's the implication of all your posts from the moment you decided to defend "Advocate666" confused grasp of the issue.
You might want to go through your posts once again.

Logicboy03:


Make a logical argument and not just a declarative statement.


I never said that atheism is a religion. Only a crazy person would put such words in my mouth

kwangi: For a start go back and answer all the questions you dodged.
Start from "Atheist buddhists". Thank you.

kwangi: "In some awful, strange, paradoxical way, atheists tend to take religion more seriously than the practitioners" - Jonathon Miller.
I've found this to be true.
I don't know if anyone can give reasons why it is so.

Atheist:-D:


Because of the damage religion does by these practitioners.

As long as religion brings forth good things it will have a role in society. If it brings forth the evil we witness on a daily basis then I would prefer to address these issues.

Think of religion today being a placebo pill filled with a poisonous substance. It might solve one or two isues but it creates a whole new set of problems that are much more dangerous.

musKeeto:
Hmmm.. Sounds more like Oyedepo and his winner mugus..

FXKing2012:
sounds more like another lost atheist

Logicboy03:

how was congo?

No, he didn't have to. I don't like when folks resort to insulting others in other to make a point. Of course, I have been guilty of that too.

As per the discussion, atheism is not a religion. It is simply a disbelief in God. Simple! You can be an atheist and be a Buddhist, because Buddhism has no gods. There are no atheist beliefs or tenets. Some believe in evolution, some don't; some believe in the Big B_ang Theory, others don't. The only thing atheist have in common is that they don't believe in a god. Period.

kwangi: Buddhism has no god(s), so it equates atheism?
You realize buddhist beliefs include the following:
-Karma
-Reincarnation
-There can be salvation from negative karma by reciting certain text and mantras. (According to som forms of buddhism)
-Hell is a plane of existence.
-The realm of happiness (Heaven)
-A divine phenomenon.
-They offer prayers
-Spirituality

FXKing2012:

pls list d problems created by religion as claimed by u.
the world wld have been much worse if not for religion, this is becos religion teaches uprighhtness and punishment for sin/evil which makes so many desist from evil.
The worst set of pple have been known to be atheists: from hitler to stalin to the worst serial killers.

And with your stubbornness to yield to a superior argument, you did yourself into a deeper hole. Do you know that there are different types of Buddhism?

A Japanese Buddhist would likely be very different from a Tibetan Buddhist.

The features you mention, are not constant or present in all sects or schools of Buddhism. Many paths, one destination.


I hope you know that none of the features you even listed mentions a belief in a god?

Atheist:-D:


Really? You want to go there. What about the crusades and jihads? Boko Haram? Jet setting pastors? Miracke cure prophets and prophetesses. More evil has happened under the banner of religion than at any other time.

Oh yeah... Spanish inquisition.

PS Hitler was a Xtian. He killed Jehovahs Witnesses too as well as nearly made the Jewish race extinct.

Tamerlane? Ethnically cleansed Xtians and Hindus from nearly half the known world.

Between Xtianity and Islam there is enough blood to last a millenia.
