*You've already taken the bait.*

not that I've even tried putting any bait out.

you did certainly imply (perhaps more than that) that my approach didn't belong in this channel

You're just kind of unintelligent and I feel bad for you at this point, child.

u don't know me; and u should probably stop embarrassing yourself.

i'm going to bed now

serious - i was just dropping some passing comment on something that seemed vaguely somewhat interesting.
no patience for your particular brand of autism tonight.

and this is where you committed suicide

you angry, nigh-braindead child

You still failed utterly to address my objection in any meaningful fashion. You confuse definitions of the term "inspiration" and juvenilely attribute creativity to theism.

I speak as a theist, we do not have the monopoly on this pattern of thinking, and it isn't even divinely inspired to run hypotheticals in our heads.

I don't need to "jump in the middle" of you "assurting" things falsely -- that *is* what you are saying. And you're taking long pauses to elaborate on what you have *already* said.

Get good, or go home. You've chosen go home.

So *now* I'm telling you, I wasn't telling you before (which *is* a misrepresentation of my earlier conduct). *Now* I say piss off. At this rate you'll make yourself the next Dotty.

If it weren't for that last paragraph, ducc could *almost* claim the high ground. But he screwed it.

Not atheist religion but atheist *religions* there are more than one. Scientologists are atheist (Xenu is an alien not a god). Many Buddhists do not. Beyond that I would agree with Shermer's categorization of stealth religions.

Id agree with boomer's sentiment here, its perfectly possible to be an atheist and also adhere to a religion( hell, id argue you can be, for example, a functional Christian priest and also a closeted atheist) . vice versa, its possible to believe in a god (or gods) and not be part of a religion.

Religion is weird like that

But hey, Pagans VS. Christians is entertaining as all hell, especially when you throw atheists in the mix

The discussion where I *agreed with you* that posting vids instead of making an argument is a shit tactic?

@Αγωνιζῆς An atheist can participate in religious rituals/symbolism, but cannot be religious.

why not though?, there are religions that do not feature gods and even if they do, not believing in them does not exclude one from supporting the religion or being a religious person in that capacity

All religions have a god

It doesn't always go by the name of "God", but the meaning of their god is practically the same

`All religions have a god `

since there are religions that do not have or need gods I'd say that that statement is wrong

`It doesn't always go by the name of "God", but the meaning of their god is practically the same`

then we disagree on what a 'god' is😄

Chad Agnosticism

Religions by definition have a god or gods

And this is exactly why this nonsense started that "atheists can be religious", no they can't

Atheism is the religion of unbelief

Because one day complete morons started entering the theist/atheist debate, they muddied the waters about what "god" is, and then boom you have people claiming atheist religions exist

Ironically (contrary to what whiic claimed) I'm the guy who's arguing in favor of "fewer genders" so to speak.
