No, not true
An atheist does not believe in *anything that is supernatural*
You're retarded
Discussion over
Damn, ad hom, you win clearly
Supreme victory for you 😄
"You're retarded and therefore your argument is wrong" == ad hom
"You're retarded, this discussion is pointless" != ad hom
learn what words fucking mean you mong
Oh now who's the autist 😄
Atheists are not a monolith, and just because some atheists claim that it's all about the belief in god and nothing else doesn't make it so
When you press any self-professed atheist on whether the supernatural exists or not, and if they say "yes it does", and you ask them to prove it, they'll all admit "I can't"
If you keep pressing, then this is the point where they start to relativize their belief in the supernatural, because they experience what is known as "cognitive dissonance", which is the discomfort felt by someone from the realization that they hold two conflicting beliefs.
1) I believe the supernatural exists
2) I don't believe God exists
The reason why those believes are conflicting is because it makes no rational sense to believe one, but not the other. If you believe in the supernatural then you must also at least be open to the idea that God also exists, because from a purely logical, reasoned point of view there's no difference between those two. If the supernatural exists, then it must also be possible that God exists, and there's no logical reason to say that "God does not exist"
Hence agnostic atheists sprung into existence, who say "I don't believe in God, but I can't prove that he doesn't exist". The reason this happen is, as explained, the self-professed atheists who do believe in the supernatural couldn't argue their way around the described problem.
This is when the atheist camp split. It split into those who argued that their peers who believe in the supernatural are just inconsistent in their reasoning, to which I fully agree.
Shock and horror, not all atheists agree with each other
so you're saying that atheists can believe in the supernatural?
No, I'm saying they're liars
you're so adorable
It's impossible for an atheist to believe in the supernatural, because it's completely inconsistent with the foundation of atheist thought
you're conflating Atheist with Materialist
Either they
A) believe in the supernatural
B) are atheists
Noth both
Atheist = there is no god
Materialist = there is no spiritual/supernatural
And?
How many more times do I need to explain this
Atheists who claim they believe in the supernatural are not atheists
They're liars
please, do me a favor
go find the nearest university
Do you know the definition of "supernatural"?
because your level of stupidity needs to be studied
because it honestly borders on the supernatural
Explain to me what "supernatural" means
I think honestly you are evidence of a godlike power
Are you going to dodge the question?=
because natural selection should have eliminated you by now
So you're going to dodge the question then?
not at all
Go ahead then
something supernatural is something that defies our understanding of the natural world
this can be because we don't understand it yet
No, not true
