Is This the New Atheist Website?

[NewsSource]

The tolerant one where atheists say they don't care about religion, yet seem to only talk about their own religion, or anti-religion, or however they justify SlyPokerDog's bigoted views?

Except for one small personal insult by someone who later apologized for it I thought it was a pretty respectful discussion.

It was a bully session. It is what it is. I'm literally agnostic. I find extremists on both sides to be out of the realm of reality. The difference is the religious guys don't offer proof, outside of their own faith. The atheists seem to try and disprove religion, and never take into account what true faith means for a belief. I find hardcore atheism to be the most simplistic of religions. Basically, it boils down to just saying no and the ridiculing the person with faith. This has happened many times before, with the most recent examples in the first world being religious groups persecuted in Germany, Russia, Israel, India, and Egypt, among others.

That's because you have a side in it. Unsurprisingly, the side you opposed seemed to get edited.

If you're talking about the God is Dead thread I didn't really provide enough information to disclose my side or my beliefs. I may not agree with some of the beliefs and opinions expressed in that thread but I am certainly not opposed to them or opposed to what people believe.

Honestly, seem like you're trying to start an argument that doesn't exist. I'm not even sure why you started this thread but to argue. Careful my friend.

It's all good bro. It's actually nice to see both sides. Of course you have your extremists giving their takes.

He means S2.

I'd hope that this is the new agnostic site. Let's keep open minds and explore the nature of the universe together!

There are a gazillion atheist web sites. Some may be the official site of some organization but there is no official atheist web site. I have no idea what Papa G is OUTRAGED about this time but I'm sure it's nefarious.

The S in S2 is for Secular.

meh.. this place is a reflection of today's society. Full on persecution has happened before and has been prophesied to occur again. This hateful attitude seen here is just the warm up act.

What the fuck are you talking about? None of those are examples of persecution in the name of atheism, and most of them are just religious groups persecuting each other.

oh woe is me. It's just bellyaching. Religious people want to be able to give their point of view and that's all fine and dandy. But if atheists give theirs it's bullying.

Nope, this is an insignificant section of a small site on the Internet where many points of view are expressed, religious and atheist alike. Don't like it, don't read it.

It's only a matter of time before Christians are being thrown to the lions again.

This is the new Flying Spaghetti Monster site.

Keep in mind that Papa is agnostic.

he also an atheist (agnostic atheist). just like you're an agnostic theist.

I make no claim that I am a agnostic theist. I 100% believe there is a God. You are agnostic because you do not 100% believe there isn't a God.

Atheist/theism refer to belief. Agnosticism refers to knowledge. From your posts I assume you would agree with the statement "it's not possible to have certain knowledge that God exists", otherwise you wouldn't bother mentioning faith.

You're (technically) an agnostic theist. Nothing wrong with that - it's much more respectable that someone who claims it's possible to know without any doubt or faith that God exists.

Exactly... I have knowledge that God exists because of my personal account. Just like one can acknowledge that they truly love someone through their personal account.

The problem with Atheism is Agnosticism conflicts with atheism in this regard. Lack of knowledge works for one to be agnostic that a God exists in the sense of the word, but Atheism claims there is no God. That means that one must prove that God doesn't exist in order to validate Atheism. Being Agnostic/Atheist is truly a contradiction.

I'm dognostic, I believe that I am god.

I think HCP should be back from the PGA Championship today or tomorrow.

 

[crowTrobot]

but Atheism claims there is no God.

Atheism is not a claim to have certain knowledge that there is no God. If it were it wouldn't describe the vast majority of people who refer to themselves as atheists. You and PapaG have already beat that straw man to death.

Oh so an atheist can believe in God existing? Yes or No

An atheist can think it's not possible to know with certainty either way. Most of them do.

you mock, but what about those people trapped on the mountain range. They are trying not to be slaughtered by all those peaceful muslims..
