My belief is that militant atheists like yourself are dumbasses because you ignore objective truth. You are a dumbass because you don't weight the good. You are a dumbass because you blame religion or God for acts of men. You are a dumbass for throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You are a dumbass because you have a vague rosy notion of goodness of life without out religion or belief in a Supreme Being. You are a dumbass for ignoring the historical evidence of what a society without God looks like. .
You are a dumbass for not being able to imagine what a world without God or religion would look like. Which is... their religion would be socialism. They would worship big government and social policy. It would be based on atheism and the deification of man. It would proceed in almost all of its manifestations from the assumption that the basic principles guiding the life of the individual and of mankind in general do not go beyond the satisfaction of material needs or primitive instincts. They would have no distinction between good and evil, no morality or any other kind of value, save pleasure. Their doctrine would be abolition of private property, abolition of family and communality or equality. They would practice moral relativity, indiscriminate indiscriminateness, multiculturalism, cultural marxism and normalization of deviance. They would be identified by an external locus of control. They would worship science but would be the first to argue against it when it did not suit their cause. They would force everyone to believe the same things and think the same way. There would be no diversity of thought, only homogenization of thought.
In your words, you are a "dumbass" for not comprehending that i am
not an atheist, which confirms your lack of understanding of what
evidence is
You are also naive in equating ethics with religion.
You have yet to demonstrate that to me, so until you do, I will continue to treat you as you behave.
Given your hardened subjective position, i have little confidence that you will understand what it means to be objective in the rational realm.
My comments & attempted queries about your academic positions are finalized, i believe.
I wish you the best in your pursuit of happiness.
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
You should test your ignostic objectivity by comparing the number of times you have disagreed or challenged an atheist versus the number of times you have done so with a theist. You just might be surprised to find out that your objectivity is really subjectivity on this subject.
You could use a basic lesson on Atheism.
Theism is broadly defined as the belief in the existence of a deity or deities.
In its purist form,
an atheist is a person without a belief in a god/goddess/deity (
a-theist).
This is now considered to be the position of a "weak atheist". A "strong atheist" is one who rejects the existence of
any deity.
Although you are a theist & i am not, both
you & i are weak atheists.
I hold
no belief in any
current religion/dogma or god claim, while you probably have
no belief in Islam, Hindu, or Greek gods.
Unlike you, i do not believe there is sufficient evidence to conclude that a particular "god" or "gods" exist.
However, i am open to a consideration of a deity's existence (agnosticism) if its rational concept can be defined (ignosticism).
