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
And religions like Hinduism still have an ultimate God from which all other deities are derived.
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
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
The difference is that God did not create the Universe
The Universe is the result of complete totality coming into contact with absolute nothingness.
It is as light is, it always seeks darkness to fill.
Those things could never have existed logically
why you think there have to be starting point?
Why there have to be nothingness before universe came to be?
why it cant just be always been there?
The Universe lies below the Aeons (divine realms fashioned in conscious thought) and is personified as the being Yaldabaoth, the great balancer/
Complete totality could never have been seperate in order to come into contact with absolute nothingness
going to deep into theism here
can't really apply and logic here
Because the existence of something automatically destroys the existence of nothingness
semantics
what is nothing?
what is something?
If there is only something, there isn't everything.
