defining the atheist life....

Soap operas? Sure. General Hospital v. The Young and the Restless.

According to my "sister", the only important soap opera is where MacGyver is in.

So General Hospital, no argument at all.

If it were me having more than one convo with the person, I'd ask if they ever considered checking out different religions to see if another belief resonated.

Exactly. And it's not like that information isn't easily available, esp. if you are a wealthy person like he described that woman. My guess is that it was something else entirely, making her unhappy. I also suspect that HE brought up religion first, and she used that as a key to conversation. He described her as "very attractive;" possibly she thought the same about him and was hoping for "comfort"?

First, I'm going by Dork Soul's claim that the woman wasn't happy being an atheist. Second, this is how women talk to each other, sharing stories and offering suggestions. Think of it as recipes.

Uh, ... Recipes. OK.

General Hospital, no contest. Sonny was such a hunk!

Rastafari?

 

[christiefan915]

Rastafari?

Sure, it's a possibility.

 

[ThatOwlWoman]

Rastafari?

Good meatballs... no!! It's Pastafarian!

Atheism:

"Do you believe that God exists?" "No."
"Do you believe that God doesn't exist?" "No."

incorrect.....the atheist must answer the second question "yes"....

 

[AProudLefty]

incorrect.....the atheist must answer the second question "yes"....

Why?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

So belief and knowledge contradict each other?

???...complete the statement......stating there is no god and stating you don't know whether there is a god or not, contradict each other.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

I think you are an asshole. That is all there is.

another point to add to your long list of mistakes.....

 

[AProudLefty]

???...complete the statement......stating there is no god and stating you don't know whether there is a god or not, contradict each other.....

Theism has to do with belief. Gnosticism has to do with knowledge. No contradiction.

 

[goat]

Sure, it's a possibility.

I can't post an image, will you give me a hint?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Why?

because denying the existence of deity is part of the real definition of atheism......

nice.....go start a thread about it somewhere.....

 

[AProudLefty]

Theism is a belief in God. A-theism is a lack of belief in God. No denial here.

 

[AProudLefty]

nice.....go start a thread about it somewhere.....

I am pretty positive there have already been a few old, old threads about it. I guess I can start another one.

What do you mean?

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Theism is a belief in God. A-theism is a lack of belief in God. No denial here.

sorry.....atheists deny the existence of deity.....denial is what distinguishes them from agnostics.......atheists want to redefine the term because they want to continue to call themselves atheists yet were embarrassed about how stupid it looked to say it is wrong to believe something that cannot be proved while saying "there is no god"........you can pretend all you want but it doesn't change anything.......it just makes you look stupid.....
