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

2019-11-05 16:09:36 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 16:48:21 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 16:53:30 UTC  

All religions have a god

2019-11-05 16:53:54 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 17:09:48 UTC  

`All religions have a god `

2019-11-05 17:13:58 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 17:16:07 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 17:16:25 UTC  

then we disagree on what a 'god' is😄

Religions by definition have a god or gods

2019-11-05 17:31:44 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 17:31:58 UTC  

Atheism is the religion of unbelief

2019-11-05 17:32:27 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 17:33:02 UTC  

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

2019-11-05 17:33:32 UTC  

Atheist religions are a paradox, it's contradictory

2019-11-05 17:33:50 UTC  

It only means that religious atheists are confused, they don't understand their own ideas

2019-11-05 17:34:28 UTC  

For example, the Greek gods, the Roman gods, or the Hindu gods

2019-11-05 17:34:36 UTC  

Those are not all-powerful, or all-good, or all-knowing, or all-present

2019-11-05 17:34:39 UTC  

Not a single one of them is

2019-11-05 17:34:48 UTC  

Yet they're considered gods

2019-11-05 17:35:32 UTC  

Why is that? Because what makes something or someone a god is the supernatural (i.e. above nature)

2019-11-05 17:35:53 UTC  

Basically as long as it's above nature, it's supernatural, and then it can be god or god-like

2019-11-05 17:36:06 UTC  

It doesn't mean that it must be at the very top of the god-like existence

2019-11-05 17:36:15 UTC  

So there's a wide spectrum of "god" forms

2019-11-05 17:36:53 UTC  

And this is when people started to realize that they needed more accurate ways to describe religion

2019-11-05 17:37:21 UTC  

A definition that covers the whole spectrum of all gods and god-like beings

2019-11-05 17:38:01 UTC  

> A definition that covers the whole spectrum of all gods and god-like beings

There's only two genders.

2019-11-05 17:38:11 UTC  

Yes, that's my whole point

2019-11-05 17:38:17 UTC  

God, or not god

2019-11-05 17:38:19 UTC  

There's only god/god-like, or not god/not god-like

2019-11-05 17:38:29 UTC  

And atheistic religions have no god

2019-11-05 17:38:37 UTC  

Atheists by definition do not have a religion

2019-11-05 17:38:44 UTC  

Hello autism

2019-11-05 17:38:46 UTC  

No, they have no god, by definition

2019-11-05 17:38:52 UTC  

you fucking autist

2019-11-05 17:38:54 UTC  

All religions have a god

2019-11-05 17:39:17 UTC  

A being that *cannot possibly* be explained

2019-11-05 17:39:36 UTC  

It's *literally impossible* to use *natural means* to explain it

2019-11-05 17:39:52 UTC  

That's what makes something a supernatural being

2019-11-05 17:40:08 UTC  

Yes, but it doesn't make all supernatural beings gods
