Hismasterpiece:Its better to believe it when we have evidence, that’s logical enough |

Hismasterpiece: What claims does atheism make? |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by jamesid29(m): 12:25pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
LordReed:The proposition that God(s) do not exist. |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by LordReed(m): 1:00pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
jamesid29: Wrong. Once again atheism is the lack of belief in gods, it is not the proposition that gods do not exist. Try again. |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by Workch: 1:04pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
jamesid29:Atheism is the disbelief in gods because of the unavailability of evidence. It doesn’t necessarily mean that a god doesn’t exist but, there’s no evidence as we speak to test it. To add to this, there are numerous evidence against the Christian description of a god, so I can say as an atheist that the Christian concept of a god doesn’t exist (this can be tested) based on numerous available evidence that Christians deny. However, I cannot say that an entity outside of our universe exist or not (which people call god), I don’t believe those that say it does without testable evidence. Hope you get what atheism is now? |

LordReed:If I may ask. What field of study do you reckon the metaphysical or questions concerning the existence/inexistence of the divine fall under? |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by LordReed(m): 5:10pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
jamesid29: Theology? May be Philosophy? |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by jamesid29(m): 6:08pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
LordReed:Yes sir, they would fall under Philosophy. Even though theology does tackle the same set of problems when it comes to the question of the divine and might use the same set of principles, the theologian comes to the table with a set of presuppositions the philosopher need not come with. Theology is much more constrained in it's field of study.The word "Theos" is already baked into the theologians field of study. |

jamesid29:What's your point here, if you don't mind me asking? Where are you going with this? |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by jamesid29(m): 6:43pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
Vic2Ree:Yeah. So if the the question of the existence/inexistence of the divine falls under the field of philosophy, would you agree that the adequate definition of atheism should come from from the field of philosophy itself? |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by LordReed(m): 6:48pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
jamesid29: Ok? And the point is? |
Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by Vic2Ree(m): 7:06pm On Oct 28, 2021 |
jamesid29:If that's the case then yes, I suppose |

Hismasterpiece: Because their slavery isn't unatural if A God can send an evil spirit to make a whole city turn back against a single person abimelech do you not think the same can be done to brainwash people even for the fact evil things were done by the old testament god ?? Most often times atheist are believed to be blasphemous , and in the bible Moses was told by god to stone them to death.. If this can be told to Moses don't you think they will try to eradicate, shut the mouth of atheist , lower the medium they use is spreading their words , or posses and kill them untimely?? |

Vic2Ree:Turns out that the definition of atheism as "lack of belief in god(s)" is almost non existent in the field of philosophy itself. In almost all the encyclopedia & dictionaries of philosophy and amongst philosophers and in academia the standard definition of atheism is " the belief/view that there is no god(s)" or put in another way "The proposition that God(s) do not exist." You can check Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy( one of the most cited encyclopedia of philosophy) Routledge encyclopedia of philosophy Internet encyclopedia of philosophy Encyclopedia Britannica ismbook.com/ism-list/ The oxford companion to philosophy oxford dictionary of philosophy Blackwell dictionary of western philosophy Cambridge dictionary of philosophy (the only dictionary to include the none-standard definition in a positive light but it itself holds to the standard definition as it's preferred one) and so on And it's what noting that the standard definition in this dictionaries/encyclopedias are written by atheist philosophers themselves. So amongst the vast majorities dictionaries of philosophy and within philosophical discourse itself, the standard definition is used. That I think begs the question why the vast majority of people on the internet and atheist activists still chose to insist that atheism is simply " the lack of belief in god(s)"? A definition that's almost none existent in academia itself. |

Re: Why I Believe Atheists Are Not Good People by Vic2Ree(m): 6:28am On Oct 29, 2021 |
jamesid29:Hmmm. In most cases, this proposition is a response to the theist claim that god(s) exist. At least, speaking for myself, my active disbelief in god is as a result of lack of evidence for god(s) as described by multiple religions. As a result of this lack of evidence, I choose to withhold belief. So I don't see how I could be making any claims myself but please enlighten me. Edited |

jamesid29:Very interesting. Do you believe in a god, or you know there is a god. Also please provide a description of this god. Thanks |
