Started this discussion. Last reply by diggerbanks Apr 21, 2012. 16 Replies 0 Likes
Hello fellow Atheists! After years of observing the interactions between Theists and Atheists, I've realized that the definition of "Atheist" itself is rather nebulous (excepting the universal belief…Continue

SteveInCO replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"I don't think it's right, though to assume that any atheist is a humanist. (And the reverse isn't true either.) And you apparently agree with that.
If I understand you right you want a core group of statements all atheists…"
Param K replied to Unseen's discussion 'Why can't bright young people spell, punctuate, or form grammatical sentences?'"not to go all conspiracy theory-ist, but about your last paragraph:
schools get gov't subsidies based on the grades of their students. So, in a rather convoluted fashion, the more students a school passes, the more funds it gets.
so…"
Tobie Barb replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"It's easy too argue (I say easy because I've seen the late Christopher hitchens do it as would be able to spell out the same arguments) that doing "good" because you are ordered to do so is far less value than doing so out of…"
Param K replied to Rocky Oliver (LotusGeek)'s discussion 'What xian/religious sayings get on your nerves?'"yeah, because in that case they're being condescending a-holes.

Param K replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"I understand what you're saying, I guess I was combining the definitions of "atheist" and "Secular humanist". However, I think the vast majority of TA-ers are Atheist Secular Humanists, so that may facilitate the creation of…"
Param K replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"I concur.So Daniel, what disagreements do we have on our reasons for not believing in god?

Abdullah Naqvi replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"Thanks for clarifying, Steve. That's exactly it.
Tobie is right in saying that anybody who thinks that atheists cannot be good without god is ignorant. At the same time, I don't think that being an atheist gives you any particular moral…"
Teri G replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"In my opinion, the only framework that would apply to everyone is reason. Is there any other way in which to come to the conclusion we all have?"
SteveInCO replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"You are not comparing the same two statements that he wrote:
The first does not correspond to "I don't believe in God(s)." Your two phrasings express the lack of something, a belief in god. If you think about it, a turnip…"
Param K replied to Rocky Oliver (LotusGeek)'s discussion 'What xian/religious sayings get on your nerves?'"that's basically Solipsism. .."
Param K replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"thought I don't necessarily agree with Abdullah's analysis.
I would like to point out that the term "Atheist" literally means "without god" with the Greek alpha-privative, implying that god is something that is…"
Param K replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"but isn't there some basic framework as to WHY we don't?
Empirical logic, experience, conjecture etc.?"
Param K replied to Param K's discussion 'The Atheist Manifesto: A Clear Cut definition of'"that's true, but a lot of people defend the "organized" basis of religion in that it has a clear-cut, well defined set of rules and expects people to abide by them. Thus, they think that as an atheist, if I don't have Religion,…"
Param K commented on Tammy's blog post 'Noticing all these things recently.'"that's horrible. After I came out (or burst out), my relationship with my mum became (and still is) kinda like the DMZ. It's usually peaceful, but little incidents may escalate into WWIII."
