That's hilarious! Lots of references to the "atheist dogma". I didn't even know I had a dogma. I have four cats, though. My belief in the scientific method stands apart from, but upholds my "I see no gods" stance.

This really just goes back to the old I don't care what you say about yourself, I'm defining you with my own beliefs about what I think you believe or what others tell me about you (Noah Webster included) .

Haran Yahya is a man. Why do you refer to the writer as a "she"? Just curious.

Greetings:

As if saying something makes it so.

I also had no idea atheists had ever been so numerous that it could have been described as 'the Atheist World'.

We've always been the minority.

(As if truth is 'what lots and lots of people believe'.)

Keith.

Anathema,

From the URL that you gave in your OP:

Quote:

Of course, atheism, the idea of rejecting God’s existence
Incorrect. Atheism is nothing more than a lack of belief in the existence of any gods.

Before you attempt to attack atheism, try to learn what it is that you're attacking.

Sincerely,

Goliath

Cool

Hello Anathema- I would say 'welcome' but you registered before I did!

The EoG forum is for the more deeply philosophical discussions, so I am moving your thread to Misc. Religion Discussions. I hope you enjoy your time at II! Jobar.

No kiddin' bud!!!
I'm in YOUR corner. I posted this absurd article to help outline the falacious views that the so-called "religious right" holds concerning those of 'unbelief'!!

I AM an infidel!

This is because to accept that the universe had a beginning would mean that God created it and the only way to counter this idea was to claim that the universe was eternal.
Strawman, anyone?

Interesting. It appears that the main thrust of this article is that:

1) sometimes scientific theories are wrong
2) atheists like scientific theories
3) therefore, atheism is wrong and there's a God

How about this then:

1) sometimes religious theories are wrong
2) theists like religious theories
3) therefore, theism is wrong and there's no God
