Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"As a random point semi-related topic, I was reading a journal the other day that said you could actually survive without a space suit, check it out, especially what the experiments on dogs found, you may survive, but it would take a week to clean…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"I'd agree with Jared, the correct statement should be "I simply do not accept it as a possibility without evidence to convince me otherwise". I find the term 'reject' to be far too certain, pushing the statement into the…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"Jared, I'm confused, are you aware your last paragraph just backs up exactly what I said? I'm not sure why you put it there!?
I assume also you haven't read the rest of the thread as I have already illustrated why saying…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"Special interest groups are brilliant at redefining reality to suit their purposes, drives me nuts, sorry to sound so arrogant before, but it is a pet peeve that people from the religious right try very hard to re-define atheist so that it appeals…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"I think the issue is you are considering extensions to the term atheism as redefining the term, which they do not. You can have a militant atheist, an extreme atheist, an agnostic atheist, but if someone says just atheist then the effect on that…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"Which online dictionary did you find that in and where was its source. I think if you do the research you will not find that to have any form of"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"Agnostic does not at all give an equal likely-hood of god existing, agnostic is that the knowledge of a god is unknowable, it has no affect on percentages.
My definition of atheist is the actual definition of atheist and not simply my opinion…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"By saying it is a widely-used definition does not change what the actual definition is, therefore by saying it is a widely-used definition, all you are actually saying is that it is the widely used miss-perception used instead of accurate…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"Not at all, evolution is an observable fact like gravity and therefore requires no 'belief' construct at all. For someone to refute evolution without any form of basis for argument or evidence against it, is simply evidence of their…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"Yes, those examples are ones that I had in mind, I came to the conclusions recently after a long winded argument with a christian on YouTube of all places. After arguing for a huge number of posts due to the short character count of comments…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"I would disagree, the term fanatic is already well defined by all, it is "atheism" where it is not. The symmetry you do not see in the discussion is relating expressly to the misunderstanding of what an atheist is, once I clarified that…"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"You're welcome Allie, I would just add that"
Marcel John Bennett replied to allie grace's discussion 'Do you think atheism is a religion in itself?'"This is a common miss-perception of atheism, atheism is the non-belief in a god, it is not a belief that there is no god.
Many religious people I talk to often understand anti-theists to be atheist and this is simply not the case at…"
