People use words that they don't understand to try to sound impressive. In your case, that would be any words. Atheist - without a deity. I don't believe in a deity, therefore I am atheist. Simple as that. Yes you do, you just don't know what you are saying when you use that word, deity. It encompasses more than you now realize. I'm curious.

Don't you DARE tell us what we do or don't believe. No need to get your feathers all ruffled. I am only expanding your horizons, and taking away your fear of what you know may happen if God does turn out to in fact be real. No, you're being an insulting asshole.

In News ,, Dionisio at , typed this: bobandcarole wrote: "There are no atheists in foxholes" Actually, there are. The military allows official designation of atheist symbols on headstones. They also allow the use of the Wiccan symbol for practitioners of that religion. Atheists have a symbol? That's a new one on me. How do you symbolize that which is not? "ARealPUSS" |

"There are no atheists in foxholes" There are no atheists. Atheists believe in God, but just believe in what he is, rather than what people say about him. Please tell me how I believe in a god. Do you believe in truth? in justice? in brilliance of thought? in perfection? Then you believe in God, whom is all these things, and others. Your definition of god entails everything and nothing. It is utterly meaningless. Some people call themselves atheists, but they don't even know what the word atheist means. People use words that they don't understand to try to sound impressive. Tell me what I believe. You are an atheist, and an atheist believes in God. They just believe in what God is, rather than what men say about him. Nonsense. |
