It was meant to "give meaning" to atheism.
Atheism isn't just a lack of a belief in god, it means something more.
it means without knowledge
wait thats agnostic...
Atheism means you reject the existance of a god
Agnostic is that you proclaim you don't know
without belief
not exactly rejection... just dont believe
yeah, you reject that one exists
No Agnostic means I don't know.
I have no opinion.
What would you call an agnostic that specifically rejects modern world religions?
a pussy
Atheisms is "I don't believe that there is a god." vs "I don't know if there's a god"
Say that to my mask.
your mask is a pussy!
😉
it doesnt mean you reject it - just means you wont go purely on beleif
Atheists is "I don't believe there is a God", agnostic is "I do not believe you can even know if there is a God or not"
Basically, My general belief is "I don't know if there is a god, but it's not that god over there, that's for damn sure."
They answer two different questions
Atheism is actively saying "theres no proof, so i dont think there is one"
No.
One is if they exist, the other is if that can be known for sure
its just "I dont have proof" ... and stops there
and that you thus don't believe there is one
If you have no proof but still believe there is one, you're just an average theist
You can simply not believe in any god, and be an atheist.
to say "there is absolutely no god" means you beleive that to be true... therefore you cannot be without belief
Anyone here agree with the term/concept Anti-theist?
Yes
and if you don't believe that,
Then you don't know, hence you are categorised as Agnostic
without beleif means you dont believe either way
I would say I'm an Anti-theist.
its more like you dont really care
Not caring is Atheistic yes.
Anti-theist, in my understanding, would mean you believe in the abolishment of theism.
You can believe in God and believe that the proof of his existance is beyond human understanding.
Nihilist are atheistic as well.
Generally.
Anti-theist according to Christopher Hitchens, the rejection of god, AND that you wish there isn't one even if there actually is one
Aka "you just believe"
