I didnt say define atheism, i said Define God.

Ask people this and see what they say. I asked an old lady that came to my door with a religious flyer and she said "Hope"
I have hope for humanity, but its not something i would affiliate, with the word God.

At least one other person said, "everything around you." Well everything around me and you are atoms, which refers the "creation" and not the "creator"

Other people say "Jesus", assuming he was real, and not just a made up fairy tale to control the Romans and other weak minded peasants, then he was a man in the flesh, a human, Not a God.
Last time i checked, nailing a man to two posts and letting him bleed out is not only torture, but Murder.

More educated people, may say "god' is not a figure but the mastermind of a collective conscious of gathered people.


So again, define God.


i find they generally cannot fully comprehend what they're trying to describe and without knowing what they're saying they'll say it

Define "God"

Instead of just bashing others for something they may not even understand fully themselves. DEFINE GOD. Then I will tell you whether I am an Atheist, but not until you Define what God is.

Defining God will not help you find if you are atheist or not, you may not be in right topic to find definitions of God, seems pointless to me.

But if you want to find if you are an atheist like you mention in your first post, then you must go over a definition of God.

Your definition of 'god' is irrelevant to whether or not you believe in an intelligent, creator deity. You can define God as the feeling of nausea you get when you smell rotten food... Then i would agree that God exists. But I would still be an atheist.

Only humans play the Sims. There is no evidence that there is a divine figure doing just that.
I believe in Atoms and the frequencies in which they vibrate.
I am not going to label myself with a title in which some religious people will have an immediate violent reaction to.

I have no need to find out whether i am an "atheist" or "religious branch title"
I am human, I live on this planet. If there were personified Gods actually doing something on this planet, then there would be evidence to depict so.
I believe in Physics. Sorry no deity to save you from physics, which includes but is not limited to the weather.

You're not from round these parts are you?

If you don't believe in a god or gods then you are an atheist. Sorry to break it to you but that's what you are. It's not some label people assume in order to rub religious people up the wrong way. It just is what it is and it is what you are.

Not everyone's definition of "GOD" is a divine creator. I already covered this.

and we already told you that it doesn't matter what you call god - atheism is the lack of belief in the divine.

You can call science and reason your 'god' but it doesn't make you any less of an atheist.

Seeing as how you just barged into an atheist thread to belittle and degrade someone I'd say you've proved his point.

Some religious people do have an immediate, violent reaction to meeting an atheist. There is no falsity in that statement.

Now if you'd kindly do us all a favour and think before you speak that'd be fucking grand. Thanks.
