A religion is a belief. Atheists believe there is no God. What do you think?

lmfaoooo, how annoyed are you with me i knew thatt! i was just being an SD for all the people here who think religion is only about belief


I asked a question..
Did I manage to make the difference clear enough?

Your personal opinion is asked. And anyway you are not the only one to which I just adressed my explanation.

lol, yeah, but you also i guess, pronounce it, like, i guess you have an "anit-religion" cuz youre doing the opposite of believing in something.


We've also pointed out already that a person can be an atheist and be in a religion, such as Buddhism.

everyone calm down, especially avone. jeez, i know what "A" means, i know what "anti" means, guess what atheist= (foolishly) believing there is no God=believing against the existance of God= anti-God. see how that works, if youre not with Him, youre against Him. and yeahhm Buddhism.

The word 'believe' is wrong, leading to your equation being wrong.
if youre not with Him, youre against Him

Only works if he exists, which is not certain/proven, so no reasonable argument.

How is it foolish to disregard something that has no supporting evidence?

Apparently not.

That's really, really bad logic. I'm sorry, but it is. Consider yourself lucky I'm not cussing. By your logic, if unicorns existed then all the people who didn't believe in unicorns would have to fight them...Disbelieving in something is not believing against something. God this is annoying. You know who says "If you're not with us you're against us"? Bush. George fucking Bush, the same guy who tried to rename french fries freedom fries because he was pissed at France at the time. If we're not with him, we're against him? So here, let me have a shot at your gay-ass logic.
We're against you by your logic, correct? Because you're with him, and by your logic we're against him(which we're not) but according to you we're against God therefore we're against you therefore we're going to annihilate your whole fucking half of the species. Enjoy.
Atheism is defined as
â¢a lack of belief in the existence of God or gods

Not being against god. A=/=anti! How fucking hard is this to understand?

and yeahhm Buddhism.

Random much?

That means Flying Spaghetti Monsters, Jehowah, Buddha, trolls and fairies all exist? How can one be at the same time pagan, christian, yewish, bhuddistic etc?
A) GOD EXISTS

No he doesn't.
b) atheism is saying there is no God, therefore you cannot support Him, and if you dont support Him, then youre opposed to him, seeing as you are denying him!

Deny is against one of those twisteable words...

FOR ****ING HELLS SAKE YOU SON OF A GOD****ED W***E! We are not anti-religious. ATHEISM IS THE DEFAULT POSITION - YOU ARE MAKING A CLAIM THEREFORE YOU ARE THE ONE WITH BELIEF THEREFORE YOU'RE THE ONE THAT NEEDS THE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE AND YOU'RE THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY BELIEVES SOMETHING.

We've already be over this argument. Just because we imagine it doesn't make it real.

But- But- But what about [my particular sky-fairy/sky-daddy]? The book that is written about them says they exist! So they must do! Right?

A) GOD EXISTS.

You...uhh...you want to go there?
A) God doesn't exist.
B) The Bible is unreliable.

everything exists, everyhing we can think of exists.

A giant twelve-eyed, twelve-tailed, eleven toed, fourteen legged dinosaur that's yellow with purple polka dots exists? Oh I knew my parents were wrong when they told me Barney's cousin Darney the Planet Eater didn't exist!!!!

atheism is saying there is no God, therefore you cannot support Him, and if you dont support Him, then youre opposed to him, seeing as you are denying him!

Atheism's the default position, Einstein. We aren't denying him, we just don't believe in him.
Hey hey Greg, hey Greg, do you believe in Darney the Planet Eater? No? OMG YOU HATE DARNEEEEYYYY!! THAT MEANS YOU'RE GOING TO BURN IN ETERNITY FOREVER BECAUSE YOU HATE DARNEY BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN HIM!!!!!!!! YOU ARE ANTI DARNEY AND YOU WANT TO KILL HIM!!!! YOU ARE AGAINST HIM, YOU ARE LIKE A SATANIST!!!!! YOU ARE ACTIVELY DENYING THE EXISTENCE OF DARNEY EVERY DAY, LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE AROUND YOU!!!!!!

holy crap. you guys are.... nice effing guys to say the least.

Ditto bud. And I mean it in the same way you mean it. Sarcasm, or sincerity either way.

Let me give an example. I can imagine you as a magic talking turnip, but just because I can imagine that does that really make you a magic talking turnip? Or is it just a fiction construct of my own imagination?

i never once said you were anti religious. i said you think God does not exist, so youre not supporting God.

and yes, it does mean it exists. if we can think of it happening it exists in our mind, every single action started in our mind, every "thing" came from our mind, and we experience everything through the use of our brain and mind. therefore, we start existance in the mind, and go from there, and if in your mind God exists, then He exists.
