Are you an atheist because you just have “A lack of belief in gods?”*

[Pachomius]

I am theist because I know that God exists in concept as the creator cause of man and the universe and everything with a beginning.

Are you an atheist because you just have “A lack of belief in gods?”*

Anyway, I just love to engage in the exchange of thoughts with you on you being atheist while I being theist.

*Atheism is one thing: A lack of belief in gods.

Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Atheism is too often defined incorrectly as a belief system. To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

Are you an atheist because you just have “A lack of belief in gods?”*

No. I have a lack of belief in gods, and I do not identify as atheist.

 

[Altfish]

I do not believe in god or gods, I call myself a Humanist, but I suppose I am also an atheist.

 

[epronovost]

I'm indeed an atheist, amongst other things because I lack belief in any deity.

What other things would you be because you lack belief in any deity?

 

[ChristineM]

I have seen no evidence of many ideas, pink unicorns, the tooth fairy, leprechauns, gods etc. Yes i lack belief in these things.

 

[SalixIncendium]

I have seen no evidence of many ideas...leprechauns...

 

[epronovost]

What other things would you be because you lack belief in any deity?

What I meant is that one of the reason I'm an atheist is because I lack belief in deities. There are other reasons, but this is certainly one if not the most important.

Ah...that makes sense. Thanks. I guess I subconsciously added a comma after "things".

 

[ChristineM]

Never heard of 'em.

But i would be very surprised indeed if they were made by magic

Leprechauns are said to grant three wishes. You've obviously never wished for Lucky Charms.

Wait...I forgot... you have to capture one first.

True, through my life i have wished for many things, lucky charms is not one of them

I suppose the need to capture a leprechaun to magic breakfast makes these lucky charms quite rare

I am an atheist because I do not believe any deity exists. The type of religion, concept, and worldview are irrelevant.

I'll go you one better... I'm an anti-theist because not only do I not believe in god(s), I think that religion does more harm than good

game on?

 

[osgart]

I don't see any evidence of one, plain and simple. Nature is as haphazard as can be in most ways. Prove it ain't! Where's the harmony, balance, and justice in nature?

The hunter, gatherer plan is hopelessly inefficient for universal love. Science and technology, industry, trade and education are the only civil means we have.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

They're supposed to be "magically delicious" but I prefer to say they are marginally delicious...if you like dried puffed oats and some more-or-less marshmallow thingies...

 

[Orbit]

I think a more interesting question is "how did you come to a lack of belief in god(s)?"

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

I'm an aphilatelist because I have a lack of interest in stamps.

Any anumismatists in the room?

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Yes, I'm an atheist because I lack belief in God(s). I go a little further, and would say I believe there are no Gods, but the first sentence is enough to make me an atheist.
