What are your thoughts on Atheism?

[The Rich Port]

There's a guy called Spoony who makes great videos about RPGs.

Cardinal rule: "If you stat it, they will kill it." In my circles, it was actually "if it bleeds, we can kill it." 'Cuz Predator.

And that's why Cthulhu is more powerful than Yahweh.

Have you seen the YouTube series The Gamers? Hilarious video of a bunch of RPGers. Relevant line: "Our strategy is, beat it until it stops moving, then shoot it, then step on its nads."

Yeah, not much can be done to stop determined players from killing anything. After all, if it doesn't have stats, they'll insist on you making some. Doesn't do much to put the fear of the gods in you.

That's why I like the Call of Cthulhu RPG.

The system sucks (they actually tried to make it d20, which sucked even more) but it's effective.

the fetish/phobia mechanic is amazing.

Skipping from page 1 to page 118 I'd say that I'm uncomfortable with how some people are making atheism quite aggressive.

Atheism is not a religion.
Atheism does not prescribe ethics. It is up to the individual to decide where they derive their morals from.
Atheism is the antonym of theism formed by the application of the prefix "a-" (as in "asymmetry" and "atonal") to the word "theism". That is literally all that atheism is.

This explains everything on how atheism is a religion because it falls into the deffinition:
set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe, especially when considered containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs.

At least somebody thinks Atheism is a religion..

Atheism does not fall under that definition, at all.

Well they shouldn't, because it is not a religion.

The term itself is a simplified category, meant to make it easier for people to classify themselves.

Using it as a basis for ones reasoning is faulty. You have to use the underlying principles and ideologies.

That's like taking a box that contained a computer and a box that contained a bundle of paper and claiming the contents are the same because they were both in a box.

Another person not understanding what either atheism or religion mean does not make you right, it just makes them wrong in the same way as you.

I don't understand how these people can continue to argue with basic English literacy and grammar.
What's so hard to understand about:

Atheism is the antonym of theism formed by the application of the prefix "a-" (as in "asymmetry" and "atonal") to the word "theism".

Not collecting stamps is my favorite hobby. Been doing it my entire life.

I've got no problem with atheists as long as they've got no problem with me being a Christian.

I got not problem with you being Christian as long as you do not try to legislate your Christianity.

...Which I don't care to.

My religion is pretty insignificant to me. I don't carry a bible, don't go to church, I'm accepting of all other faiths and non-faiths (accept for the obviously crazy ones), and I believe in the separation of church and state.

Really, I'm as far away from a fundamentalist as you can get.

Actually, "as far away from a fundamentalist as you can get" would be being an atheist...

Then I got no problem with you being Christian.
