Katrin Schwarz replied to Dan Ashton Lloyd's discussion ''Atheist' isn't my preference.'"I don't like the word theist because god myth believers should not be special above other myth believers who are just superstitious or deluded or insane. ;)I don't like the word atheist because it acknowledges the word…"

- Atheist
- About Me:
- Religion is rubbish. Why then should I have a religious status.
I am a logical sane person. Believing in gods is not a logical sane position. Gods don't exist so why would I define myself as not believing in them. If I were to define myself as not believing in gods, I would be indulging the concept of gods.
I know that the notion of atheism is useful as a mechanism to identify with like minded people, but it seems to give legitimacy and ammunition to the theist position especially when interacting with theists.
I prefer the "What the... you can't be serious" approach to theists rather than "I'm an athiest" approach.
I believe that the act of brainwashing children into believing illogical views by faith is extremely harmful to the individual, and that it has consequences that are extremely harmful to society. Children should be armed against brainwashing by being taught critical thinking and scientific method as compulsory subjects at school.
