Making fun of atheism

They could tell me about what they posses, I mean the quest for explaining the Big Bang, the mystery of UFO and time. It does not tell me much, when they say "we have lack of..."
God drives around in a UFO?

Really?

Wow, that's the nicest thing anyone's said about God this year!

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
Atheists possess critical thinking skills that support a belief in a godless existence.

No necessarily. There's nothing in the definition that means you have to arrive at the conclusion by critical thinking. Somebody who believes there is no god because dead aunty Flossy spoke to them through a medium and told them that the afterlife is a democracy and there is no god, would still be an atheist.

Well...technically that is true.
Equally one could say 'Theists possess critical thinking skills that support a belief in God'.

Yes! And that's the point, eh? "Possession" refers to a person's relationship with something, and since both "I believe in god" and "I believe in no god" refers to a person's relationship with an idea or symbol, there is nothing physical to point to to show physical possession, so it linguistically may as well be stated that "I possess no belief in god" and "I possess a belief in god" are essentially only suggestive of someone's psychological relationship with a human construct.

I was simply referring to something an atheist may have to make a point.

The ways to say fact can be wrong and illogical.

I saying "I possess a lack of gasoline" is perfectly logical. It shows the relationship between you and gasoline.

"Lack" can be defined as a noun as a state of being. "Possess" is a verb defined as belonging to a person. A person can possess a state of being.

"Lack" can be defined as a noun as a state of being. "Possess" is a verb defined as belonging to a person. A person can possess a state of being.
The legitimate statements are:
1. there is no gasoline,
2. I am lacking of gasoline,
3. I am out of gasoline,
4. etc.
But it is somewhat retarded to say:
5. I have lack of 1000 liters of gasoline in my possession, please let me show you that. Are you selling your lacks?

What do you think atheists believe, why do you think they believe it (as a group), and why do you think it's illogical?
Atheists believe that if God existed, they would know it because they would have "evidence" of it. They believe that that lack of evidence is proof of the lack of God. This is the wildly irrational, of course, and logically indefensible, so when directly confronted, they deny it. And yet they still say it all the time because they really do believe it. And by "they", I mean the vast majority of atheists that post here on RF, and elsewhere.

Expressions: I have lack of pencils,

I have lack of gasoline,

I have lack of belief,

carry no information of what is in your possession.


That could be found in the collection:

They could tell me about what they posses, I mean the quest for explaining the Big Bang, the mystery of UFO and time. It does not tell me much, when they say "we have lack of..."


But what they do? Do they struggle to explain Big Bang like Dr. Hawking has tried and failed? Do they look for explanation of UFO, and Dark Matter?

What about you? What do you do, if you disbeliever.


It is another expression of the atheism definition, it cares no information about your lifestyle and dreams. Do you wanna get information of how World has begun? If yes, then what do you do to get that information?


The expression: "I have belief", carries information of what is there in possession.


It is simply redefinition of the atheism. It gives not further insight beyond "we have lack of belief."
But what gives the insight, is what poetry do you prefer?
But I am not asking you, because you are not atheist.


"Poetry, Lanny? Go back to work!"



"I posses lack of gasoline" is nonsensical.


No, it does not. The sense makes this figure of speech: "I have no gasoline."

You should really learn what atheism actually is (and isn't), because after all this time, it seems you still don't get it. Or don't want to get it, considering the amount of people who already tried to explain it to you.

Why do you insist on dragging big bang, ufo's and time into this?
None of this is relevant to the subject of atheism.

Why would it?

I study science and / or let scientists figure it out.

But I am not asking you, because you are not atheist.

Atheism has nothing to do with how the world began.
