    Your definition for "atheist/theist" and its subcategories

    Not to be rude but I am facepalming. Atheism: 1.A position of disbelief in God, carrying the assertion that God does not exist. 2. A lack of belief in God, which may or may not carry the assertion that God does not exist. So... "Strong" atheist: See Atheism (1). A person who believes that God...

    Why are you an atheist?

    Is the reason you asked why I don't believe in "any" deity because you're trying to soften the impact on your specific God? Really, the excitement over why I don't believe in "any" deity is misplaced curiosity. Deities cannot all exist at once, in fact, and most people would opt either that a...

    Question about Strong/Weak Atheism

    Sounds like me. I don't really care for the modifying adjective, but if it helps, I consider myself a strong atheist. You don't have to be agnostic to allow for a possibility, nor does that possibility have to be limited to "a god." "I believe your God does not exist, but I grant there's a...

    Why are you an atheist?

    Just what I've been waiting for, a Christian who is concerned why I do not believe in Ahuramazda. Hopefully next time I get such an open-ended question concerning nonbelief in other gods, I will have done a proper Google search. Quite frankly, my only reason for not believing in Ahuramazda is...

    Religion ,proof, a defense?

    Good. Is there anything else I can do, alternatively? Meditation, or Mindfulness in general: do they work the same as Prayer in this regard? So every religion gets a pass, then? I find beauty in a lot of religious things. I see that a lot of great benefits exist in religion or religious...

    Gnostic or Agnostic

    Because... Actually, what does it say about words in general?

    Are you an atheist? if so, What is your POV about God?

    Atheism (or "strong" atheism, to satisfy the herds) is the position carrying the assertion that God does not exist. We don't claim infallibility of reasoning. Unlike another atheism I have read about, the assertion that strong atheism carries is capable of being judged true or false. The other...

    More information/knowledge enhances one's belief or faith. Right?

    Religions are more businesslike than that, and cultivate devotees. Usually, religious devotees will adhere to believing the doctrines which they are taught. More information does not usually lead to the diminishing of blind faith/belief. Blind faith is at its most effective stage when you can...

    What religion is this?

    None of the above. Your friend isn't religious, he's just saying a deepity.

    Double Minded Atheist

    If somebody went through the process of making a chart, it must have merit. At least I now know from your viewpoint that these labels are merely intended to convey how certain you are whether or not God exists. Because the real debate isn't whether or not a God actually exists, it's how certain...

    Double Minded Atheist

    :shrug:I don't know what to say. I'm not confused about what belief and knowledge are. I thought you posted it because I asked how you class a "lack of belief," being that it is not a position.

    And you find this moving in a good way?

    Scriptural literalism

    Surely, we have probably been able to confirm through archaeology that something in the Bible wasn't just made up. Even fictional stories sometimes talk about real people. What about things like the Creation accounts in Genesis? Clearly our scientific discoveries have made it impossible to...

    Double Minded Atheist

    Predictable. Too bad you don't have a horse to lead. Let's discuss why the primacy of atheism is important, as opposed to agnostic atheism.

    Did you know that Jesus is the Word? Also, have you heard the bird is the Word? Jesus is a bird.

    Double Minded Atheist

    Except that I clearly, in the same post, stated that atheism is a lack of belief. But, hey, what do I care if Christians claim to be atheists now? They are willing to play ball. OMG, you are responding to where I just said atheism is a lack of belief by asking me if someone who claims the...

    Double Minded Atheist

    Something I don't understand is why you're posting a quote that mirrors my endeavor so that you can leverage the argument that weak atheism is... some sort of philosophical position?
