Worst religion

[Yonivore]

"Don't know yet" is a perfectly valid answer that requires no beliefs.

Okay, so?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Except science isn't religion.

Well, until you prove to me nothing became what we see around us without a design, I'm believing in God.

Umm science is a set of beliefs ie empiricism, correlation, experimentation, skepticism, etc.

Given skepticism and the requirement of recreatable experiment, the conclusion from science is that god does not exist.

It's closer to the actual definition of religion as its a set of beliefs and it matches your definition as well.

Prima facia it's stupid but that is the ultimate extension of what you are arguing.

Okay, so?

That's exactly what I was thinking when you asked those questions.

So? What did your response mean?

[ElNono]

So? What did your response mean?

That "don't know" is a perfectly valid answer to those questions.

[Yonivore]

That "don't know" is a perfectly valid answer to those questions.

Yes, it is. So?

[ElNono]

Yes, it is. So?

so what?

[Yonivore]

Exactly.

Then, that's not atheism.

Actually, that's exactly what atheism is.

[Yonivore]

Actually, that's exactly what atheism is.

Atheism claims, with certainty, there is no God.

So, no, what was described isn't atheism. Agnosticism, maybe.

atheism (ˈeɪθɪˌɪzəm)

— n
rejection of belief in God or gods

[C16: from French athéisme, from Greek atheos godless, from a- + theos god]

[LnGrrrR]

Atheism claims, with certainty, there is no God.

So, no, what was described isn't atheism. Agnosticism, maybe.

No, atheism is lack of belief. Agnostic is lack of knowledge. I'm an agnostic atheist. I don't believe in God, but I don't claim to know for sure whether he exists or not.

The a- prefix means lack of in these words. Compare amoral (which is not necessarily immoral, but the lack thereof), apathy (lack of pathos), asymptomatic, asynchronous, etc etc

Yes, that's funny on some level, but is that necessary for this thread?

We are talking about religion aren't we? I'm just presenting an over the top view of someone that is humourous

No, it does not. You are lying.

Maybe to you. I don't find anything humorous about the abuses that the catholic church officials lent a blind eye to. As much as I have my dislikes of the catholic ways, I think that's uncalled for.

I don't find the abuse funny. I'm not that cold hearted.
