2017-10-18 03:39:33 UTC

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

2017-10-18 03:40:20 UTC  

that is called hte dunning kruger effect my friend, and you just won the award

2017-10-18 03:40:36 UTC  

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.

2017-10-18 03:40:48 UTC  

if you have a belief in a god

2017-10-18 03:40:50 UTC  

any individual god

2017-10-18 03:40:52 UTC  

you are a theist

2017-10-18 03:40:56 UTC  

and therefore not an atheist

2017-10-18 03:41:32 UTC  

theist is a difinative statement

2017-10-18 03:41:38 UTC  

meaning that you hold a belief

2017-10-18 03:41:46 UTC  

you do not have to hold ALL beliefs in order to have a belief

2017-10-18 03:42:00 UTC  

you cannot believe in thor, and believe in jesus, and still be a theist

2017-10-18 03:42:12 UTC  

you're saying that in particular context someone is an atheist in the frame of a particular god

2017-10-18 03:42:19 UTC  

but it does not remove their belief in a different god

2017-10-18 03:42:39 UTC  

also, no real scottsman means that the qualifiers for something in particular qualify what the person is

2017-10-18 03:42:53 UTC  

so saying that someone is only a theist if they believe in a particular god is a no true scotssman

2017-10-18 03:43:58 UTC  

you need more hitchens and dawkins in your life

2017-10-18 03:44:11 UTC  

Ive read books from both of them

2017-10-18 03:44:30 UTC  

dawkins is a bit retarded for his rejection of group altruism as a role in society as a positive effect

2017-10-18 03:44:40 UTC  

which pretty much every evolutionary biologist accepts

2017-10-18 03:44:54 UTC  

but

2017-10-18 03:45:14 UTC  

the difference is that I actually understand concepts on a level where i can actually criticize them by synthesizing information

2017-10-18 03:45:18 UTC  

you just take it as doctrine

2017-10-18 03:45:37 UTC  

try reading some books that don't just serve as a confirmation bias for you

2017-10-18 03:45:42 UTC  

LOL

2017-10-18 03:45:50 UTC  

do you even understand dunning kruger?

2017-10-18 03:46:00 UTC  

you like little baby.....

2017-10-18 03:46:40 UTC  

its funny because thats such a basical psychological / philosophical point that is usually used by people who have no understanding of dunning-kruger

2017-10-18 03:46:46 UTC  

please

2017-10-18 03:46:49 UTC

2017-10-18 03:47:15 UTC

2017-10-18 03:48:10 UTC  

You are basically like a greek slave who thinks he understands a concept, but doesnt really

2017-10-18 03:48:23 UTC
