*creeps in slowly* *looks around* .......... Hello......everybody......

Hi Vaz.

[Riiser-Larsen]

Nazi religion? Good god.

Let me take this out of context for a moment.

If you'll excuse me, I have to take shards of glass and grind them into my eyes to escape the post I just saw.

[Aeken]

Does anyone else have to pretend to be Christian or something when they go to things like church and when you talk to them on Facebook?

Sigh. Yes. I'll regret it later in life.

[Forinaxx]

Are agnostics welcome here?

There's no way to know.

I actually hold the position that god does not exist.

I will agree with this to the extent that certain definitions of "god" can justifiably be considered false.

Considering the corruption of paganistic influences and reverences over the generations I find it best to avoid accidentally giving them utterance.

I assume however you are talking about something completely different however .

[Wind in the Willows]

Hello fellow Atheists.

[The Rich Port]

Hello fellow Atheists. 8)

:D

It's nice to know we're not alone, so thank you for that.

Well, you know, it's not really possible to intelligently comment upon very vague notions of a deity. Unfortunately most notions of a deity tend to be very vague, the people using the term haven't really decided what they mean by the term, so where do you even begin? What do you say to someone who defines god as "that which is unseen, yet sustains reality?" That sounds like several things that actually exist; of course, they're probably attributing properties to it that are unjustified, but still. And there are people who define god as "love" or "everything" or whatnot, and what can you say about that? I mean, I believe in love... I'm not sure if I "believe in everything;" that seems either unarguably reasonable or else incredibly foolish. But the point is that unless you can pin a theist down as to what exactly their god is supposed to be (and you usually can't), you can't really argue one way or the other. It would be like arguing over the mating habits of unicorns.

But if they are kind enough to specify, "The God of the Old Testament" or somesuch, then I think I can fairly say that such a god does not exist.

Agreed. The only deity that I would find logical to accept would've been Eywa from Avatar. Of course it's a deity made up for the 2009 movie, but that deity was not omnipotent nor omniscient (well, atleast not omniscient outside of Pandora). It wasn't an entity that the natives of the fictional movie were just worshipping based on faith, it was one that they found its existence to be based on the underground bio-neural connections of the moon-planet.

[The Silence of Night]

I'm an atheist because I've yet to see any substantial evidence to prove the existence of a deity.

Vast majority.

all the above and this with community values ( individual person over here ) and Because it does not contribute to the economy and encouraging parasitism

It can help contribute to charities and the homeless. While I don't like religion, it does have it's uses and it's not 100% evil.

Just, what?"

[Tyriece]

I am not really atheist because i believe that supernatural things are possible, how ever until proven to me i do not believe in them.The universe is big, to big to rule out everything religions say, maybe most things, but not everything.

You just say that because you don't know where tooth paste comes from.

Atheist means ''I don't believe in God''
NOT ''I don't believe in GOD and am also close minded to the possibility of evidence to the contrary'''.
If you disbelieve in God, you are an Atheist, whether you are open to evidence, is another matter entirely.
