Atheist Penelope
Is it cold in here?:
I think Pennelope is too passionate about her beliefs to settle on "whatever" as an answer. Unless she mellows a whole lot with age.

--- Quote from: BreakAtmo on 04 Jan 2009, 22:39 ---This is exactly what I discussed in my earlier post, apparently rather pointlessly. The big difference between a Christian (or any follower of a religion) saying "My religion is right" and an atheist saying "No it isn't, atheism is right" is that the atheist has logic and reason to back up what they say

:-D
So, it's logical to conclude, based on what we monkeys have seen on an infinitely small chunk of rock in a vast, possibly infinite Universe, that there is no sort of higher power anywhere, period?

Err... no. It's logical to conclude that based on what we have scientifically observed, there is no good evidence to believe in a supernatural God of any kind, and thus logically should assume he doesn't exist until evidence for such an existence is presented. That's simple logic - all claims should be considered untrue unless they are backed up by evidence, and it applies not just to the God concept, but to everything. I don't say 'there is no God', because that's an active statement that would require evidence. There's a huge difference between 'There's no evidence for a supernatural God, so I don't believe in one', and 'There is there is no sort of higher power anywhere, period'. Don't put words into my mouth, or the mouth of any atheist like me, just because you don't seem to understand my position.

That's a nice semantic trick, saying that assuming something doesn't exist isn't the same as believing it doesn't.
Whether you like it or not, some atheists do say "There definitely is no God, period." If you think you're not one of them, that's between you and... well, the Tooth Fairy, I suppose. :wink:

Assuming and believing IS different, though.
There are different levels of non-belief and different levels of belief-against
Painting with broad strokes does nobody any good.

Here's what happened recently;
I was on msn and she messaged me and asked in a detectable sarcastic tone "if I still didn't believe in god".
I simply told her," I not sure if you think that fighting over religion is kinky or something. But its like fucking under a bees nest while being coated in honey. Some people might find that kinky. But its a great way to get your ass stung."
