    Atheists: Is that your final answer?

    Good question; I can make hundreds of claims that cannot be disproved, but that would not give any more credibility or consideration to the claims.

    Atheists: Is that your final answer?

    lol @ idaho comment Why wouldn't I call myself an agnostic... To me, a true agnostic (as opposed to an atheist calling himself an agnostic) is someone that doesn't have a belief either way. Whether they don't care to really ponder the question or they just want to stay on middle ground...

    Atheists: Is that your final answer?

    Katzpur, your understanding and definition of an atheist is completely wrong... but in your defense that is how most people would define atheism. Like Linwood said, atheism is the lack of belief in any deity; this is the general definition of atheism. However, some atheists go further and...

    Why does God Favour some People over Others?

    I don't know what they do or where they live. They are usually outside of a local grocery store with cardboard signs asking for spare change. To be honest I don't know if I would want to know their back story as to how they ended up where they were. If I had to guess, they probably made very...

    Why does God Favour some People over Others?

    If you really believe that God rewards those that are closest to Him... You have to see the irony when an atheist like me (who is fortunate and successful) gives $5 - $10 to homeless Christians that have nothing. When are their rewards coming? The ones I've come across are not happy being...

    Can ID be taught in schools? What's ID's next move?

    You make it sound like all theists want ID taught in school. There are many theists that uphold the idea of separation of church and state and would be appalled if religion was brought into public schools (more so than it already is). If a class did teach about multiverse theory, it would...

    It takes more faith to be Agnostic

    Weak atheism shares all these traits. Weak atheists do not claim to know anything about the existence of God. They simply reject the claims made by all theists. Too many people think that atheism is an extreme end of the spectrum, and it isn't. It is a very rational and reasonable position...

    Why does God Favour some People over Others?

    There is absolutely no correlation for material wealth and religious groups. There is no correlation with beauty and a religious group. There is no correlation with health and a religious group. To say that God blesses His own dedicated believers is to make a claim with absolutely no evidence...

    Atheist Logic

    I don't want to convert anyone on here. I think the purpose of posting such videos is really to just give another perspective. There is no reason to hate Richard Dawkins and I am sure that the people that do hate him do so because he criticizes major religions but this criticism needed and...

    Atheist Logic

    I have no interest in arguing, just wanted to clarify the differences. I can say I am fairly confident there is no god, but I don't see how anyone can say it as a certainty. Most atheists are weak atheists, only a small subset make such claims of certainty. I personally think it would be...

    Atheist Logic

    No, asserting anything with no proof is irrational. Claiming that there is or is not a god (or gods) are both irrational. One may be more irrational than the other, but they are both irrational. That is not an opinion.

    Does God Answer Prayers?

    The truth about prayer is this... the same success rates for answered prayers are observed in every single religion. This isn't insinuating that god answers prayers regardless of faith, it is showing that nobody is doing any answering at all. People pray for things all the time, and they...

    Atheist Logic

    But the big difference is one is rational (weak atheism) and the other is not (strong atheism).

    Atheist Logic

    Atheism and agnosticism can go hand in hand. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist. You can just claim to "not know" and ride the fence as far as do you believe or do you not. Atheism is simply lacking the belief in a God. It has nothing to do with claiming or stating that...

    Why should I believe in a God?

    Did finding out that Santa and the Tooth Fairy were not real crush your dreams? Do children actually need to believe in these things? Also, there is a huge difference between telling children about Santa and the Tooth Fairy and revealing the truth about religions (notice I did not say...

    Atheist Logic

    The first video is strong atheism, which is quite different than weak atheism. Strong atheism is asserting that there is no God, and most atheists do not associate themselves with this group. I am an atheist and I personally think it would be an ignorant statement to assert that there is no...

    Is belief really a choice? You decide.

    I think belief is partially a choice. I think if you are taught things about God and religion as a child then you are much easier to persuade into making this choice as you reach young adulthood. However, if your faith as a child is low (not because you don't belief, but more because you...

    Why Would An Atheist Visit a Religious Forums Site?!

    Religion affects atheists just as much (sometimes more) than theists. Religion imposes itself (or attempts to) on society in every way it can. Many religious people are intolerant of other religions and non believers. There are many reasons why atheists care and would visit a religious forum...
