Yeah, I hate evolution and how it basically just disproves Bible.

Wait, can you be an atheist but believe in something like matrix, and go around door to door telling people that they are in the matrix?

It could be a new religion, an atheist religion!

That way we no longer have to argue about if atheism is a religion or not, and if atheists have the burden of proof to disprove God's existence, or if Christians need to prove their claims or not.

@Mall

So is this a "yes" which would be one of only two answers to the question I asked?

If it's not , it's only a "no". Do atheists believe no gods exist?

Yes or no.

Do pro-lifers believe in exceptions for rape? Yes or No?

Yes or no.

My answer to your question is the most direct, complete, and informative answer I can give. That you reject it leads me to be believe that you have an underlying agenda of some sort here.

@Best.Korea

Yeah, I hate evolution and how it basically just disproves Bible.

Idiots, like you, that "believe" evolution, are very much like idiots that believe in God in that they don't know what the fuck they are talking about. It always cracks me up when idiot believers present themselves as morally supreme because they think God is on their side and when "evolutionists" present themselves as intellectually superior. Especially when I point out that evolution doesn't disprove the Bible, it proves it. The Bible teaches things evolve, but disproves that they evolve into anything outside of the parameters given by the Bible. The evolution of the Bible is and always has been commonly observed. The evolution contrary to the Bible has never been observed. Never. It's a racist eugenic fantasy. I especially like the surprise on idiot evolutionists face when they are informed that evolution is an ancient Greek philosophy that predates Christ. Empedocles, Anaxagoras, Anaximander and Aristotle.

Idiot pseudo-intellectuals who scoff idiotic modern-day Christianity think the great thinkers of the past like Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were preservers of some sort of secular reason when 15 minutes research online would set their ignorant asses straight. Those ancient philosophers taught the modern-day Christian nonsense they so unintelligently loath while the Bible taught the proven science. It just goes to show you. Idiots are idiots with or without God and the new religion, science.

@RaymondSheen

You were slightly misrepresenting theoretical thinking and consequent study, by inaccurately pigeon holing with both the "ist" suffix and the word "believe".

1. Though for sure, there are lots of people who without methodical consideration, will blindly accept or reject ideas because they have been conditioned to do so.

We tend to refer to such people as believers.

2. Whereas people who are not prepared to blindly accept or reject ideas without necessary consideration should be referred to as sceptics.

3. And those who actually dedicate their time to the methodical study of such ideas should be regarded as scientists.

Here I am attempting to pigeon hole, somewhat more accurately.

Then there are those who gather together to bleat their distain at others who might seek to question the veracity of conditioned beliefs.

We might refer to these people as sheep.

This is a bit of a jibe.

But they do often gather in what is often referred to as a flock.

@zedvictor4

You were slightly misrepresenting theoretical thinking and consequent study, by inaccurately pigeon holing with both the "ist" suffix and the word "believe".

It is what it is.

1. Though for sure, there are lots of people who without methodical consideration, will blindly accept or reject ideas because they have been conditioned to do so.

Not only or necessarily because they've been conditioned but also group think. To keep up appearances.

We tend to refer to such people as believers.

A liar is someone who is either stupid enough to think that lying is the only way to get what they want or intelligent enough to think that lying is the easiest way to get what they want. Like a sock puppet they operate on the assumption that no one will possess the ability to detect their deception, but really this only makes them predictable and easy to detect. We refer to such people as atheists or theists.

Believing isn't stupid, deceiving is. I think of it like a puzzle to solve. A riddle. But it gets old after a while when you've done the same puzzle over and over. Like I told you early on, words are a prison.

2. Whereas people who are not prepared to blindly accept or reject ideas without necessary consideration should be referred to as sceptics.

The further you get away from the truth the more skeptical virtually everyone is. Lying or ignorant skeptics are profoundly more prevalent in our zeitgeist than lying believers. Here we escape the prison of words, deviate from the puzzle and adapt to the show or theater. Theatre? Therapy? The eater and the rapist. Poets, Priests and Politicians. You see? I A.

3. And those who actually dedicate their time to the methodical study of such ideas should be regarded as scientists.

Which ideas? Theological or scientific. You would agree that there are incentives to corrupt and neglect both, in the past most notably for the former just as in the present most notable for the latter? Note how if one is paying attention, they will get bored at the repetition. The ritual of deception. Ritual. Religion. Theater. Hypocritical, from the Greek form of theater in which everyone and everything is magnified. Costumes, devices - Deus Ex Machina. Imitatio Dei. Deus Vult. Amor Dei Intellecualis. The new normal and the old. Meet the new boss, same as the old, but potentially far more destructive.

"I Am the science. God is on our side. God wills it." Ideas within ideas within ideas.

Here I am attempting to pigeon hole, somewhat more accurately.

Then which would you consider yourself - a student or a skeptic? You're not really a believer in the subject unless you are diligent in both capacities, aren't you?

Personally, I believe most people don't believe they just like the idea. For a plethora of reasons. Social, traditional, cultural, wishful thinking, superstition, blind morbid fear, virtue signaling, et cetera.

Proof is evidence indicating truth; evidence is data indicating truth; fact is a thing proved to be true; truth is data accepted as true. That isn't sequential, it's just circular reasoning. They are empty terms meaning truth is what we make it. The same as reality. What is accepted? Look at history, it's just copy/paste. Find scholars that are respected and repeat, verify. At one time everyone thought the concept of God is true. The concepts have been pretty much the same throughout time as far as we can tell. At that time science was regarded as suspicious. Science hasn't changed. It's always been what we think is true as far as we can tell.

Times changed. People now think science is true and the God concept is suspicious, but the only thing that has really changed is the times. Zeitgeist. Spirit of the Machine.

Take the immortal soul. Please. The Bible "believer" and the allegedly "skeptical" will both perceive the Biblical soul concept of Socrates and Plato as the traditional scholar will attest to. And it is completely stupid. Just read Ezekiel 18:4 and Matthew 10:28. What is the difference between a believer and a sceptic in a debate? Master debaters!

Huh? That stupid. How much of what follows do you think you would read as a student or sceptic?

Genesis 1:1 - The Hebrew verb consists of two different states. The perfect state indicates an action which is complete, whereas the imperfect state indicates a continuous or incomplete action. At Genesis 1:1 the word bara, translated as created, is in the perfect state, which means that at this point in the narrative the creation of the heavens and the Earth were completed. Later, as in Genesis 1:16 the Hebrew word asah, translated as made, is used, which is in the imperfect state, indicating continuous action. The heavens and Earth were created in verse 1 and an indeterminate time later they were being prepared for habitation, much the same as a bed is manufactured (complete) and made (continuous) afterwards. The universe wasn't created in 6 literal days 6,000 years ago. Not according to the Bible.

Genesis 1:2 - The planet was a water planet, waste and empty, meaning that there was no productive land. Though the sun and moon as part of the heavens were complete, at this point light had not penetrated to the surface of the Earth. Job 38:4, 9 refers to a "swaddling band" around the Earth in the early stages of creation. It was likely there was a cosmic dust cloud of vapor and debris which prevented the light from the sun from being visible on the surface of the earth.

Genesis 1:3 - Here the Hebrew verb waiyomer (proceeded to say) is in the imperfect state indicating progressive action. This first chapter of Genesis has more than 40 cases of imperfect state. The creative "days" were a gradual process of making Earth habitable. The light was a diffused light which gradually grew in intensity. Some translations more clearly indicate progressive action. The Hebrew word for light, ohr, is used. This distinguishes the light from the source of the light. Later, on the fourth "day" the Hebrew word maohr is used, signifying that the source of the light only becomes visible then through the swaddling band.

Genesis 1:4 - Light and darkness are divided between the eastern and western hemispheres as the Earth rotates on its axis.

Genesis 1:5 - Here the Hebrew word yohm translated day, indicates the daylight hours, but the term will be applied in the following verses to indicate various lengths of time. The word is used to describe any period of time from a few hours to thousands of years. (Zechariah 14:8 / Proverbs 25:13 / Psalm 90:4 / Isaiah 49:8 / Matthew 10:15) The terms evening and morning are metaphoric. At this point there are no witnesses on Earth to a literal night and day, but there are witnesses in heaven. (Job 38:4, 7) The evening symbolizes the period of time in which the events unfolding was indiscernible to the angels in heaven. The morning symbolizes the period in which the angels could distinguish what had been accomplished. (Proverbs 4:18)

So, here . . . you still reading?! We've effectively shot in the head, directly between their eyes wide shut, the traditional ideas of theology and scientific skepticism.

It doesn't matter, do you know why?

FAITH

As Jesus pointed out at Matthew 13:10, God doesn't want the skeptical or the traditional believer to learn the truth. To contend, wrestle or grapple with God and prevail thus being worthy of salvation. "You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven, but others are not."

They, the disciples didn't cling dogmatically to the corrupted Jewish tradition.

The Latin word credit means "trust/belief." The sceptics appeal to the authority of the scholars if they have credential. But scholars trust only tradition. Jewish or Christian. God wants someone with a good credit rating, not in the traditions of men, but the truth that sets you free from the prison of words. Those that don't cling to ideas have to defend them with lies. Including the skeptical.

Then there are those who gather together to bleat their distain at others who might seek to question the veracity of conditioned beliefs.

We might refer to these people as sheep.

This is a bit of a jibe.

But they do often gather in what is often referred to as a flock.

Yeah. I got that. Evolutionists call it survival of the fittest, which is actually infinately more amuzing ironically. Tribal. Group think.

The shepherd would break the leg of a lamb if it develops the tendency of wandering too far from the flock, and then carry it from place to place until it can walk again on its own. For its protection from predators. The strength of the flock is the sheep, and the strength of the sheep is the flock.

The strength of the pride is the lion, and the strength of the lion is the pride. Before the fall.

[sigh]

I was just watching dooms day prepers.
And this lot where prepping because of the "second coming" thing thats gonna happen in approx, four months , two weeks , three days and 17 mins.
"Bible prepares" they are called.

According to the Bible the end times began at the conception of Adam and Eve's first child. The founding of the world. And the Bible doesn't say that Jesus would return other than the time he did so before his disciples. That was a long time ago. So, you can watch the "Bible preppers" as they are called and you can marvel at how silly they look all the while not knowing any better than they.

They come across as ummmm , fucking dickheads.

No. They come across as stupid, you come across as fucking dickheads. But why always female? More cunt than dick.

I want to meet a person that " guesses the second coming will happen in a few hundred years time.
Like after there dead.

After there dead. After they're dead. The puzzle calls for one to distinguish common mistakes, narrowing down those typical of the female/male, young/old, believer/unbeliever, british/american, cerebrial/emotional, accademic/traditional [yawn] stupid/religious . . . nice/not so nice . . . on my side/not on my side only if I take sides. I never take sides. Apolitical/irreligious. Keep up, boy!

God is a sick dude

Never an original thought. It takes all of the fun out of it when you make it so easy. Terms. Expressions. Fuck! Do you want me to show you how to do this right?! You don't want that. Atheists worldwide cower at me definitely, you see? Poet, jester, songsmith. Sock it to me. Maybe I am Hugh. Maybe I am also Legion. Only the chickens guard the henhouse.

Clues within clues within clues while you look up into the sky and down into the why. Don't be shy.

@RaymondSheen

People now think science is true and the God concept is suspicious.

So, your response was another interesting read.

Form which I've extracted the above statement for consideration.

I would suggest that science will either come to a satisfactory conclusion or not.

And there are still plenty of contented deists with a penchant for eschewing science.

Which ideas? Theological or scientific.

And this question.

Well, both I suppose, if they lend themselves to the methodical scrutiny of a plausible/reasonable theory.

Do you think/ not think that theism/deism has always been a scientific theory of sorts?

A tad naive today perhaps, in light of what has been concluded since.

But nonetheless, a reasonable proposition at the time.

Which isn't to say that certain aspects of the GOD principle are not still reasonable.

A supreme intelligence for example.

@cristo71

"My answer to your question is the most direct, complete, and informative answer I can give. That you reject it leads me to be believe that you have an underlying agenda of some sort here."

Nothing more direct than a yes or no. It is totally incomplete by not answering yes or no which is what the question was directly asking for. Why should I accept anything else but a yes or no?

I'm rejecting anything than what the question is asking, why not? Highly unlikely I would reject a yes or a no which is nowhere in this response you made.

You believe I have an ulterior motive because I'm being strict on the answering of a yes or no question with a yes or no answer. Something like a "trap" , a "gotcha" question you must be thinking right. This should not make people apprehensive to truly answer questions specifically with either or, binary choice responses. It's just a forum. Not a phishing net.

Someone else had the courage to answer yes even though a lot of unnecessary statements, filler and rambling was piled on it.

Do atheists' believe no gods exists?

- or this maybe alternatively easier

Atheists believe no gods exist. Is that true or false?

Come on just one or the other , that's all.

@zedvictor4

So, your response was another interesting read.

I disagree.

Form which I've extracted the above statement for consideration.

The above statement? [Looks up. Looks down]

I would suggest that science will either come to a satisfactory conclusion or not.

There's a safe bet. Nothing ambiguous about that.

And there are still plenty of contented deists with a penchant for eschewing science.

What if you're wrong, she asked Richard Dawkins, to which he responded in turn. If he was right he would at least have amassed a considerable fortune selling dimestore novels to atheist idiots when he should have been out doing science. If he was wrong he would have inspired millions to be cheated out of not only a lot of dimes but also everlasting life in paradise and in peace without sickness or death.

And this question.

Well, both I suppose, if they lend themselves to the methodical scrutiny of a plausible/reasonable theory.

[Laughs] We're all screwed.

Do you think/ not think that theism/deism has always been a scientific theory of sorts?

If you define science as knowledge, no. If you define theism/deism as bullshit, yes.

A tad naive today perhaps, in light of what has been concluded since.

But nonetheless, a reasonable proposition at the time.

Since when? Which time?

Which isn't to say that certain aspects of the GOD principle are not still reasonable.

A supreme intelligence for example.

A supreme intelligence without intelligence? A sentient non-being?

Someone else had the courage to answer yes even though a lot of unnecessary statements, filler and rambling was piled on it.

Oh, hey, whoa! Not me!

Do atheists believe no gods exists?

Atheists don't believe in theists, so they're right more often than not, at least in that regard. But they do believe in atheists so there's the balance.

"Do pro-lifers believe in exceptions for rape? Yes or No?"

I'll deal with this after you answer the actual relevant question in all fairness. You don't answer this with a question.
Do atheists believe no gods exist?

Can you say yes? (holding your hand)

No, I can’t say yes, because the question is ill informed. Some atheists hold this belief, some atheists do not. Therefore “Yes” is not the correct answer to your question, and neither is “No”.

Do you understand? If you do not, please proceed and answer my question so you can enlighten us as to what we’re missing.

Is this a serious point?

As an atheist all I knew was that religion was stupid. I didn't know why - call it a hunch. At a very early age I had already come to the conclusion that politics and science were stupid as well. By stupid I mean fake, dumb ideology. Nothing real. Just bullshit. You can't have the atheist vs. theist debate with data. Everyone says data i.e. facts, truth, etc. is important, but it isn't. At all. The atheist vs theist debate is always only ever religion, politics and science. Not being very well aquinted with your thinking I would hazard a guess. With you it's politics.

The point is nothing is real. Not atheists. Not theists.

Good stuff.

If you define science as knowledge.

I don't.

I define science as science.

One might define scientific outcomes as knowledge.

And if Dawkins makes a good living at it, then don't knock it.

He'll be able to survive into decrepitude without the need to scavenge on rubbish dumps.

Since when? Which time?

Whenever.

Though perhaps since the time when Og gazed at the sky, went Hmmmmmmmm, and realized that he/she had just had an idea.

A supreme intelligence without intelligence? A sentient non-being?

Whatever.

I'm currently running with purpose rather than chance.

Though it struck me earlier when I was replying to IlDiavolo,

Isn't any purpose, ultimately purposeless?

Though NOTHING is always an image that I find really difficult to simulate.

"No, I can’t say yes, because the question is ill informed. Some atheists hold this belief, some atheists do not. Therefore “Yes” is not the correct answer to your question, and neither is “No”."

Ok well say "both" yes and no. All you had to say from jump my friend instead of going through all this.

"Do you understand? If you do not, please proceed and answer my question so you can enlighten us as to what we’re missing."

I'm unable to answer your question and know I'm correct about it.

I don't know. I'd have to talk to every individual that says he or she is in support of no abortion.

Maybe after the talk people will realize they're not truly pro life.

It's suppose to be the same across the board right.

Just like atheists that believe no gods exists are the same across the board. This is what distinguishes them from theists that don't believe no gods exist.

You're saying yes and no. Atheists also do believe gods exists so whatever definition you're using would be the same as theism so I advise you to definitely be clear on this subject because it'll spread confusion.

Alrighty.
