hopefully, you'll brush up your knowledge a bit so that you can understand us better in the future, I know it isn't gonna be easy for you but give it a shot

Buddha never said he was an atheist . He was simply indifferent about gods . Atheism requires an explicit conscious rejection of gods and that is why Diagoras of Melos according to history is the first atheist .

Socrates was a deist . He condemned the gods worshiped by the larger society. Socrates subscribed to Telelogy and believed that god arranges everything for the best. Religious skepticism is inherent in deism . The same way Xenophanes is regarded as a deist - he criticized anthropomorphism of gods . Every deist ever known to history has been skeptical about the worship of gods .

Gerrarahia. Deluded ones.
The person u were even trying to save has seen his goof and kept mute.
You, your pride will always cover ur eyes like POP. Mscheww

felixomor:


Good
So dont make noise, next time

hopefulLandlord:


he kept quiet because he detected you lack what it takes to understand him

damogul:


Even on the thread by the atheist nihilistic grizlybear he called other atheists stupid for thinking life had any meaning. NOW THAT IS A TRUE ATHEIST.

damogul:


Felix focus on people worth discussing with rather than those who dishonestly show puerility at every turn and jump into convos without first taking time to read from the beginning. Knowledge can only be given by someone who has one. They lack it in Truckloads.

felixomor:


Life has no "meaning"
Yet u found meaning in urs abi?

So ur "concept of meaning" is your delusion.

Safe journey.

Diagoras was the first person in Greko Roman culture to OPENLY show disbelief in the Gods. Remember it was a capital offence at that time so many hide their disbelief because they will be kills if they came out openly. Before him in India there were atheist atheist.

Of course. How can life have any meaning without the One who created it?

KingEbukasBlog:


Exactly ! that is what atheism is . when you reject gods , it makes you an atheist .

That is why atheism is not the absence of belief in God .

Religion without deities is considered sometimes as a lifestyle in the ancient times . That's why Confucians can worship the supreme god of China Jared the Emperor and Buddhists can worship any random gods borrowed from other cultures . The same thing with Taoism .

You are being disingenuous! You admitted to some being nihilistic and one being right here on NL. What is the comparative statistical assessment of this based on the small number of atheists on NL?

Did I say all atheists are nihilistic ? We are talking statistics.

Will u say his reality is a false one?

dalaman:


Where did I say that life has no meaning? Point it out you liar.

dalaman:


I derive meaning from various things for my life. Different things give me meaning and shape my life. As I said life has NO universal meaning . We all.pick and chose what ever it is we want to give us meaning and purpose.

hopefulLandlord:


you no get point

he's already told you life itself has NO meaning

we give it the meaning we desire

felixomor:

Na u be liar o


Even another apetheist helped u to reinforce it.


U r the liar bro.

dalaman:


Even with God life has different meanings to various religious people. The meaning of life for a Hindu is different to that of a muslim and both of them believe in God. So you see even with the Gods that allegedly created life, life has no universal meaning.

DoctorAlien:
This not so much about the meaning of life: this is about the fact that atheism ====> nihilism.

A true atheist is a nihilist because there is absolutely no reason not to be one.

hopefulLandlord:



perfect way to ignore the word "Universal"

dalaman:


So what if some people are nihilistic? Others believe in destroying humanity for their God.

felixomor:

The last time i checked universal means "generally" And general is more correct than "personal".
See how u r dancing ajasco now?

hopefulLandlord:


lack of belief in deities is atheism

narrower sense is rejection of all deities or saying they don't exist

all three holds true

attempt to remove one of them is simply pulling straws

hopefulLandlord:


sorry, I forgot it was still you

damogul:


With God or the gods of other religious people the meaning is one...PURPOSE! and this PURPOSE breeds DESIRE and DISCOVER.

You on the other hand who is godless and do not believe God or gods exist are simply making up meaning as you go so to you there is no one meaning to life as the one you hold on to today can become meaningless tomorrow as you evolve as an atheist.

The Alpha atheist is the one who has fully embraced nihilism and you are yet to get to the level.

Everytime we talk about meaning in life you always use the religious to offer examples why can you not use your position as an atheist to offer meaning to your own life.

Then why is Diagoras considered the first atheist in History BECAUSE HE WAS EXPLICIT about his rejection of God . Being without gods does not make you an atheist . The deists too were described as those without gods because they rejected the worship of god by the larger society .

If you study history of the Greeks, the deists were mistaken for atheists .

Implicit atheism has been criticized by intellectuals as false . Having no knowledge of gods does not make you an atheist , having no belief in God does not make you an atheist but explicitly and consciously rejecting gods makes you an atheist . That means if you know of gods and declare within yourself that you don't believe they exists , then you are an atheist .

The fact remains life's meaning is what ever you chose to make of it. I noticed that you are pained dyer your lies about aheism and nihilism have been debunked. You have now resorted to an alpha atheist is a nihilist bla bla bla. You clearly do not know what you are talking about. I do not use the religious to talk about the meaning of life . I only use the religious to show that life has various meanings to different reli6groups and doesn't have a universal meaning as some religious people falsely claim.

damogul:


If others believe in destroying humanity for their God which in this case i believe ISLAM is your focus then why not focus on that since you feel its repulsive.

However even they still hold meaning to life but a nihilist sees nothing in nothing so does not believe in anything as meaningful since his own life was an accident of nature. I quote grizlybear

"I wish i was not born because my life was by chance. Chance brought me here so what then is the purpose to my life?"

dalaman:


That remains hos opinion and his alone. Most other atheist do not subscribe to that philosophy. I don't know why you are pained by that.
