Mageth : But that is not what we are trying to discuss here. We are trying to discuss Atheists. Is this one of your Atheist tatics? to change the subject.

Are atheists really different to the rest of the world? I am not aware of any particular activities atheists do that theists do not.

Mageth

Not at all. Merely pointing out that the question is the same for all of us, whether atheists or theists. So limiting it to atheists is a bit disingenuous.

In other words, in response to your statement from the OP:

But what of the everyday things which makes atheists so wholly pratically much different from theists or the rest of the world.

Nothing, really, IMO. I still put on my pants one leg at a time.

You would probably get more respectful replies if you showed respect to the individuals whom you were addressing.

But what of the everyday things which makes atheists so wholly pratically much different from theists or the rest of the world.

What makes you think that there is any notable difference? I think that if there were such differences you would be able to answer your own question.

What do atheists practise on Earth and can prove via some form of evidence that their individual contributions to life and liberty are worth examining in a meaningful manner?

Personally I couldn't give a shite whether anyone thinks my contribution to life is worth examining or not. I certainly have no desire to offer any evidence to support the assertion.

The fact that there is no real notable difference in everyday life activities between atheists and theists, IMO only serves to underline that theistic belief has no discernible advantage.

Expectant.
Congratulations. When's it due?

Then we should be able to find Atheists fully engaged in community services. Helping their neighbours mend fences giving free concerts for farm-aid, food-aid and the rest of that stuff.

Correct?

We should also be able to find docters donating their expertise for free. Correct?


Is this not a bad attitude towards life?

I assume you mean atheist doctors. And if you looked, you could.

Dr Rick

How is it any worse than the attitude that life is a prelude to some sort of eternal afterlife, and that whether the latter is wonderful or terrible depends almost entirely upon believing the correct set of superstitions and rejecting the wrong ones?

Do you mean atheist doctors? If so, I do.

sophie

You seem pretty sure about this. Is there some network which advertises or boasts to that effect?

sophie

Possibly quite true. But why base your life and loves on the comparision block of another? Is it not better for an Atheist belief to gather dust on its own accord?

Atheist beliefs taken into consideration for their own worth, for their own meaningfulness. What is the problem with this form of accounting?
