Lol.

That guy is exactly how I imagine you. Fits so well.

Edit: Meant more the yelling and hate, rather than whatever drugs he was hopped on.

I never yell. And I don't hate anyone/anything who/that isn't out to cause me bodily harm. 

I'm afraid you should stick to discussing what you know, instead of what you assume.

You're tone in posts comes across that way. I didn't literally mean you're yelling at people in the streets, but you come across that way. Much like Runa with posts.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

When one is behaving childishly, when someone else points it out, they tend to feel as though they've been yelled at so I understand why you feel that way at times.

Atheism doesn't need to be defended.


Atheism is only the default based on which definition of it you subscribe to.

The definition I use based on my social experiences with the phenomenon is a belief that there is/are no god(s) rather than a lack of belief in god(s).

The subtle distinction, for my point of view, plays a major role in shaping attitudes and active discussions about the topic, to the extent that atheism doesn't really qualify as a null claim but rather an alternate positive claim.


Of course you know which definition is the right definition, I presume?

There is no right defenition, its all subjective


Well, one definition is more official than the others. Are you telling me we can just change definitions as we please?

Read the first sentence of my post again.

The definition you subscribe to has no impact on which definition is official.

...and the definition which is official has no impact on the definition which you subscribe to.''Official'' definition isn't the universal, objective one. I can find atheists that subscribe to either one of those definitions

Atheism in its root form is a negative. You can spin it however you like but it means you do not believe in a god or gods. And the word god is still in the definition... There is no affirmative way to say something like that... Maybe you could call yourself pragmatic?

You're starting to really intrigue me. The level of deflection (if not, is it delusion?) is very surprising.

What ever background or worldview you came from has to be unique. I truly can't fathom how someone can become so jaded and close-minded.
