Chidori360 made three threads that says he hates athiests. These are bound to cause a flame war, so to counteract it, I decided to make a thread about something different.

Post here to peacefully discuss athiesm (yes, this thread actually has kind of a point). Discuss how it began, what sets it apart from other beliefs, the standing you feel it has in today's world, or something to that extent. The title was just to stick it to Chidori360 >

This is NOT a Christianity Vs Athiesm thread. If you want to bash Athiests or Christians or... anyone, really, do it in another thread. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. I love Athiests.

Would be okay if I peacefully debated against some of the atheists unpopular (in my eyes) actions? Wouldn't be much of a debate without someone like me XD

If you can do it in a nice way, sure. Just keep in mind not to generalize... but yeah, the purpose is to discuss athiesm. I just thought the title would be funny. :P

good idea BigP08 way to take it to doucheflamer5000 (Chidori360)

but I probably won't be in here much since I'm an agnostic not an atheist.

Here's a good question. I've come across some athiests that feel athiesm is a religion, and some that do not. Do you believe athiesm is a religion or not?

I think it is in the middle. While it doesn't have gods and ceremonies, there are also some Christians that don't follow a church. It leads me to believe that athiesm has the potential to be a religion in that regard, since it is a personal thing, but since it is the rejection of theism, it's still debateable.

Ahahaha! This is going to turn into a war, I can see it.
And myself, being an agnostic, will be able to peacefully watch from the sidelines and sit on my lazy butt, safe from the firefight and not having to do anything.

lol I know I said I wouldn't be back but....

no religion isn't a religion because there's no church, hierarchy, leaders, or anyone telling them how to live their life.

General VoteSocialist reporting for duty!

Adhere to the following affirmation.

ATHIESM MEANS NO RELIGION! IT IS NOT A RELIGION! ATHEISM IS A TERM USED TO DESCRIBE THE LACK OF RELIGION!

That's true, but also consider the Christians that reject religion. They don't follow a church or anyone telling them how to live.

Still, they have a code to live by, or at least something to read. Athiests don't have a sacred bible or anything, which leads me to believe, as I said before, that it has religious qualities but is not technically a religion even if people can treat it that way.

Atheists [i]religiously[/b] dislike religion. Any hint? So in my opinion, it is a religion. Just not a direct one.

I'm technically a literal atheist. I dislike theology in all its' forms, but I do believe in a god. My god is quite lazy XD

While that may be how it was, it has in a way evolved to attain religious qualities. TSL3_needed had a pretty good explanation, too.

The funny thing is, I didn't even notice.

I think Astiesm isnt a religon but it's still a belief some people may think strongly and will try to put it onto other people but religon does the same, also some people may feel strongly about it but not put it onto other people and just defend it when they have to(thats whos side I'm on) Also if an Athiest picks on a religous person for feeling strongly about their belief I will take there side.
