You are full of crap. In another post you stated that you came here to impart information. I have asked for that information, as well as AccretedMinutiae. We should be prime candidates for your quest, yet you just flat out state that we will reject your propositions. When you are put to the test, you balk.

I call BS, you are here just to be an ass.

I don't know about others, but either way, I don't even refer to myself as an atheist... this is something I am labelled with by others.

I literally give zero credence to the god hypothesis, it is such obvious bollocks that it doesn't deserve the time, effort and energy.

I don't refer to myself as an atheist in the same vein that I don't go around proclaiming myself an atoothfairiest, apixiest and so on...

This is simply semantics, when in actuality it is just a label... call us what you want, the result will still be the same.

Religion is control, theism is for the incredulous and the god hypothesis is bollocks.

Demonstrate your claim with empirical evidence and may be a conversation may be had.

You see that, folks? That is an honest and sensible response. This person is done. He's made up his mind and he's not blaming anyone else for his position. Up to this point . . .

Just ignore that part, it's bullshit.

That's a spectacular straw-man of my position dip shit.

Where did I claim that it was an unchangeable position?

He's a troll, has been from the start. Though it's mighty ironic given his beliefs for him to accuse others of posting BS. An imaginary deity he can't demonstrate any objective evidence for, all the rest of his religious verbiage is coloured bubbles.

I know, I know...

We should have theist bingo....

- Straw man a person's position
- God of the gaps fallacy
- Doesn't grasp very basic definitions
- There god is kind and loving or some shit
- Arguement from incredulity
- Arguement from ignorance

Could be fun!

Most will be batting 1.000

Where did I say it was an unchangeable position? I did not say that. Right now you've made up your mind, just as you said.

And don't call me dip shit.

It's clear as day, but

So not only do you not understand what the standard definition for atheism is apparently, you're also fallacious in misrepresenting people's positions.

Well done....

So what's your argument here?

So what's your argument here? That atheists should somehow lengthen their name to explain that they're not denying that rock & roll "gods" exist, but rather denying that supernatural beings exist?

Or maybe you're right and I should start calling myself a theist because damn, Jon Bon Jovi.

I know, I feel your pain, Empedocles has posted some mind boggling nonsense. For anyone who doesn't know what atheism means they can Google it, and if they want to know what any particular atheist thinks on any given topic, they could just ask them. Rather than making unevidenced assumptions and sweeping generalisations.

All that I have done is question the atheistic definition of a god. So, give me 5 different examples of what a god is. 5 different types of gods.

"All that I have done is question the atheistic definition of a god. "

No such thing, it's an obvious oxymoron.

" give me 5 different examples of what a god is. 5 different types of gods."

I am an atheist, so that's like asking someone who doesn't collect stamps to list 5 reasons it's a great hobby.

No, just change the definition to a more accurate one. Like this. Atheism is the lack of belief in supernatural god(s) would do it.

That is not more accurate. The "supernatural" part is redundant at best.

Is that your definition? That is contrary to general scientific understanding.

You obviously do not understand what scientific theory is.

Sometimes its worth wading through the thigh deep theist ordure to read a gem of a sentence like this....still chuckling...
