It is an ideological stance on the existence of God and the nature of reality.
It is a religion with role of refuting religion.
If you are familiar with 40k, atheism can almost be personified by the fifth Chaos God Malal.
It is flawed and weak because it is the rejection of a higher reality beyond the material. The fervent of Atheists are just as zealous and dogmatic as any other religious radical.
An atheist isn't like an agnostic who I would better describe as secularists, since they largely remove themselves from religion.
Organised atheists discussing their reasoning does not mean all atheists are organised and behave the way youre saying
No, but atheism also leaves people morally lacking.
That is an opinion, not a statement of fact
Which either leads to nihilism or another radical ideology that co-opts the place of religion
can you define atheist?
your definiton seems bit odd.
An atheist is one who rejects the existence of God and the Divine.
I would personally argue that those who lack belief in religion aren't atheists, only those who disbelieve in religion are.
I would say an atheist is someone who does not think that there is an existence of a God or Divine
you do kinda get into semantics when going into the existence of a "god" as described by monotheistic religions, specifically the omnipotent ones
if god IS all-powerful and all-knowing, then god is not sentient. you cannot think if you already know what you're about to think. such a being cannot have intent, for it's intent is literal reality.
god as both a sentient and all-powerful being is illogical.
if we define god as merely existence, then there is very little weight to worshipping such a being
im atheist.
And i dont have any other thing common with other athieists that i dont belive in god or divine.
its not religion by the definiton.
and being athiest as it self is not radical by the defenition
I would argue that a more controversial standpoint would be to be atheist but also reject the concept of evolution as fact
Many christians that I have interacted with automatically assume your atheism means you are an evolutionist
the biggest problem atheists have in the religion debate is the assumption that god does not exist. in truth, landing on such a conclusion is irrational. we do not know for certain.
but, if we take it to it's logical conclusion, all-powerful and all-knowing are mutually exclusive with sentience
Also Christianity isn't monotheistic, it is a Trinity
I would argue against that, its not irrational,
Its what that whole flying spaghetti monster argument comes from,
You don't believe it exists, cuz theres 0 evidence for it either,
Hence atheists don't believe in god cuz theres 0 evidence
its not illogical.
my default just is that its not true until proven otherwise.
I believe God to be the representation for the totality of existence.
God is the complete wholeness of existence that existed before Time and the Universe
Why does it have to be God?
god is disgusting then. he farts several thousand times per second
😛
Can existence not just be existence?
"wholeness of existence"? that existed _before_ time and space?
what do you mean by this?
God is the totality of existence
In your opinion
if god is everything then god is not sentient
god is the sum of all information in the universe
There was an infentesible amount of "time" at the beginning of the existence before space and time were distinct entities
Only what comes before time is eternal
my dick is eternal 😉
As it exists perpetually
*Hypostasis*
so you belive god have always existed?
but universe cant be always existed?
That is the general Christian worldview
