No.. the Intent was to show
You can never have enough knowledge. If it upsets you then i feel your pain

I think I covered that already. Above you honestly mentioned that unicorns are mythical but you want to use that point even when you have no idea that God is mythical. Therefore apples and animals. It was as misapplied as mine was.
Faith, in my definition, is to believe something even though your senses haven't yet perceived.
Your knowledge and everyones knowledge combined , even as much as we know, is infinitesimal.
An atheist believes there is no god with the infinitesimal amount of knowledge they have. It is a faith statement because it is not based on knowledge because the amount of knowledge everyone has is insignificant to what is yet to be discovered.
So, your declaration is not based on real knowledge until you have all knowledge. It is your faith,.
was a ridiculous statement.
Show your version of god is not mythical and i will review your evidence, until you, or anyone can do that, then i will see gods as mythical entities of old folk tales. Therefore nothing. Apples are demonstrable, they exist, can be observed and measured, they can be analysed and their genetic history seen. I never mentioned apples So please don't call me a lair
That cuts both ways.Was it? From your posts it seems not, and i truly feel sorry for people unwilling to expand their mind.
And very much in a Christian context.
All definitions of religion will therefore be based on how much a belief system resembles Christianity.
Hence people will use terms like worship, god, supernatural, belief, etc. in their definitions which exclude many other religions.
Not similar enough to Christianity, not a religion.
There is no meaningful way to differentiate religions from non-religious belief systems that is not culturally or historically biased (towards Christianity as a normative religion).
Religion is a useful shorthand in conversation, but as a meaningful category it's somewhat useless and confuses more than it enlightens.
I'm not here to "prove" my God. My statement is simple... your position of faith is based on a limited knowledge because you have no idea of who or what exists in the cosmos. It is a faith statement of belief (on your part) as I have my statement of belief.
You have not "observed or measured" what is in the cosmos so, by logic, for you to make a statement of "no god" is based on your faith statement.
That cuts both ways.
And i am not here to prove my lack of faith in your or any god. I know my own mind, you don't.
Actually cosmology, although it does not know everything about the universe does know a considerable amount. I guess lack of a will to learn will limit understand on this.
Never said I did know your own mind... and, yes, you have established to all where you stand, your statement of faithAnd i am not here to prove my lack of faith in your or any god. I know my own mind, you don't.

LOL... that was good...You feel sorry for people who are eager to learn? Wow, just wow
As a starting point, a religion is a community of shared belief and practice.Inspired by @Conscious thoughts 's thread. Mine? I'm not even gonna touch a definition. Too hard to come up with one that encompasses all religions. If you say your belief system is a religion then it is one. I'm not gonna argue. Most atheists don't say they are a religion. Thus I don't believe they are a religion. Some Satanists say they are others say they are just a philosophy rather then a religion. I consider my beliefs religious tho some dont. I might have a definition but I find it hard to word it.
I think at the core, a religion is a community of shared belief and practice.

I know there's more to it than that. After all, a political party is also a community of shared belief and practice, but a political party isn't a religion.
I do think the community aspect is important, though. One person on their own can have a belief system, but they can't have a religion, IMO.
Never said I did know your own mind... and, yes, you have established to all where you stand, your statement of faith
Considerable as compared to what... to what we didn't know, you are correct. To what we still need to learn, I would disagree.
LOL... that was good...
but that isn't what I said.
My statement of knowledge and i am getting a little peed off at you repeatedly calling me a liar, it won't happen again. You know FA about my mindset, so stop impossible your belief onto me.
I am 100% satisfied that no god or gods exist outside the believers mind, so many aspects claimed by god believers are impossible, illogical. You may not like it but that's just tough.
Disagree all you want. Im done
