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
that is called hte dunning kruger effect my friend, and you just won the award
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
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
try reading some books that don't just serve as a confirmation bias for you
LOL
do you even understand dunning kruger?
you like little baby.....
its funny because thats such a basical psychological / philosophical point that is usually used by people who have no understanding of dunning-kruger
please
