thus are athiestic toewards it
its in the very fucking description of the word....
ffs
you can be atheistic towards individual gods
but not an atheist
you dumbass
LOL
atheist is a definitive statement
>no real scotsman
nice
thats not what that means
you do not know what that means
"you can be an athiest but not a atheist" - @AutumnFire , current year
atheistic
but not an atheist
./me slow claps
LOL
its a really basic concept and im actually shocked you do not understand
>you can be run over by a train and killed, but not be dead - @AutumnFire , current year
so there are many gods, and you can chose to believe any number of them. atheist is a term meaning that you have no god at all. just because you dont believe in all gods does not make you an atheist, because belief in one god makes you a theist
the·ism
[ˈTHēˌizəm]
NOUN
belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in one god as creator of the universe, intervening in it and sustaining a personal relation to his creatures. Compare with deism.
if you have a belief in a god
any individual god
you are a theist
and therefore not an atheist
theist is a difinative statement
meaning that you hold a belief
you do not have to hold ALL beliefs in order to have a belief
you cannot believe in thor, and believe in jesus, and still be a theist
you're saying that in particular context someone is an atheist in the frame of a particular god
but it does not remove their belief in a different god
also, no real scottsman means that the qualifiers for something in particular qualify what the person is
so saying that someone is only a theist if they believe in a particular god is a no true scotssman
you need more hitchens and dawkins in your life
Ive read books from both of them
dawkins is a bit retarded for his rejection of group altruism as a role in society as a positive effect
which pretty much every evolutionary biologist accepts
but
the difference is that I actually understand concepts on a level where i can actually criticize them by synthesizing information
you just take it as doctrine
