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
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
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
explain menlos slave
and explain how you are actually that same person
meno's slave
&
try and see how you are basically the same thing
You are basically like a greek slave who thinks he understands a concept, but doesnt really
thats the tl;dr version because i know you probably arent going to be able to conprehend the texts
yes was just resading it now, philosophy is cancer tbh... but if i understand what i just quickly browsed through tis bascially that people can be led to the correct answer, and that somehow proves they had the right answer all along?
The problem is that you don't have the logical foundation to understand a lot of these concepts. Like dunning-kruger, which is a psychological concept used by people in arguments who really don't want to be troubled with having to logically explain their argument, so they just point out that there exists something in where people have a cognitive bias, with a massive lack of proof. It's the "I am very smart" version of calling someone a Nazi.
On your original point
Atheist
on the contrary, it seems that i understand this issue far better than you but you cant not understand that because you have yet to learn aobut it, once you do you may then realise my point
Theist means belief in a god or gods. That is the only qualifer. You are saying that someone who has a god they do not believe in makes them atheist (which, at least to make a coherent argument i'm going to assume you meant towards a particular god). But in order to be atheist in a particular situation, obviously they could not be theist at the same time. So does theist dissolve when confronted in a particular scenario? Obviously not, because the belief in a god does not dissapear even in reference to another god. So belief in a god is A, another is B, etc. Atheist = any letter. This does not mean ALL letters.
