    is that it...is that what believing in God means.

    I would ike to point out you know nothing about atheism nor the belief in God and are groping in the dark.

    your internet connection affords you this waste of time you produce in people that read your infantile uneducated atheist rants.

    your not an atheist , just stupid.

    Religion conotes a belief in God, hence some say Buddhism is not religion but a philosophy.

    I have met atheists that indeed have a philosophy and it is beautiful in and of itself.

    these people are not thinking about life or philosophy at all.
    the pf atheist is just a non believer with a lot of confusion and not totally convinced themselves.

    again not realizing that philosophy includes the non belief in God once one decides to discuss the non existence of God.

    many people confuse religion with philosophy, and we should cut them some slack.

    Polite conversation should allow for the use of religion, the word ,instead of philosophy the word, and not get so argumentative.

    but then again the pf atheist is an arrogant uneducated lot so it figures always in the picture.

    You just couldn't resist tacking an unwarranted (and subjective) personal attack onto what could otherwise have been a worthwhile contribution to the discussion, could you?

    Who are the arrogant ones again?

    Stupid is as stupid does. I said something, you turned it into something completely different.

    I obviously didnt say that is what believing in god means.

    With no fault to find,you made something up and then got into name calling and cheap insults.

    If you ever figure out why you like so many "christians' feel so free to make things up / bear false witness etc with no show of conscience whatever, let us know.

    I've wondered how that is done.

    tIt's all abut context right?you are twisting it for what reason?

    hhhhmmmm

    ok lets just debate philosophy of atheistic view.
    lets go beyond the non belief portion that has been bandied about here ad nauseam .

    misconceptions about atheism is a great starting point now lets talk about atheistic view and philosophy...

    it won't happen here ..i can make a bet on it.

    and as for the point making...thats not my game..drop it please..

    I wasn't trying to prove you wrong - I was just pointing out hypocrisy.

    Although now you mention it, I don't believe I've insulted anyone who didn't dish it out first. Feel free to spool through my posting history and prove that wrong, nobody's perfect after all.

    It's okay. I should take it as a compliment that I wrote something which could plausibly be said by a religious bigot.

    Your very first post in this thread called pf atheists (and, thereby, me) 'infantile'. You may be calling for debate and decrying personal attacks in this thread, but from the very first instance you have been posting personal attacks yourself.

    Anyone with a fraction of an ounce of intellect can see the hypocrisy in that.

    Now, what was that about an epic fail?

    ok let me correct myself, due to the fact you don't get it.

    the pf atheist is an infantile atheist due to the fact they can't get beyond the basic concept of non belief....most of the pf atheists can't get beyond even thinking about metaphor in the Holy Bible, which is infantile.

    what else can i describe a person with a rudimentary understanding of a philosophy , who decides to debate it from the basest of points.
    With little or no originality, actually there is no originality in the pf atheists and if you can prove me wrong i will apologize.

    now it is up to you ..in this case you need to understand your infantile stance and beg to learn.

    You don't even know why at this juncture you are toying with atheism.

    i will help you, and if you are honest and polite and know your place, i will share exquisitely profound Atheistic philosophy which after a few years of pondering shall bring you to God.

    at the very least it will bring you out of the infantile stage.

    I feel no need to be particularly polite to a person who clearly has no intention of doing me that same courtesy. There is nothing infantile about evaluating the evidence and coming to the conclusion that non-belief makes the most sense to you. What is infantile is ranting about going 'beyond' something that there is no need to go beyond, complaining about politeness and good debate while delivering a stream of insults and telling me I should 'beg', and decrying lack of originality while at the same time providing no real information at all, never mind new and 'original' information yourself.

    Well typical response from someone that thinks not believing in God is some monolithic event in some person's life and mindset.

    For an Atheist that actually understands why there is no God and the subsequent philosophy that backs this ideal up,it's a stage long ago travelled, hence the infancy of it all.

    But why Atheism and genius melded together should be?
    Why this human catalog?
    have you asked yourself ?

    i doubt it for you only display and post the rudiments of Atheistic thought.
    when told there is more , much more you cry foul and scheme to pronounce insult upon your person publicly.

    You just don't have what it takes to further this road you claim to be on.


    Alas all thats left is the shallowest of forum internet rabble rants and mockery.

    tsk tsk!!

    The statement I made was not based on prejudice and assumption. It is a statement I've heard coming from atheists.

    We Christians all believe everyone's life has a purpose and is meaningful but I've heard atheists say there is no purpose to life and so to them it is meaningless and now you are telling me that is not the view of all atheists?

    It just goes to show you folks (atheists) are lost and have conflicting beliefs.

    Your inability to comprehend the concept of unbelief is unsurprising, enmeshed as you are in a hodge-podge of conflicting myths, fables and superstitions.

    Twice today now the subject matter of 'superstitions' has met the forum. On the other occasion I inquired what 'superstitions' and was given the run around. Perhaps your integrity will be a little higher and I might be able to get a straight forward answer instead of a diversion. What 'superstitions' are you speaking about? What 'myths' are you talking about? And what 'fables' are you talking about?

    Your inability to comprehend the concept of belief is unsurprising, enmeshed as you are in a hodge-podge of believing existence came about accidentally because you see your existence as a freak of nature with no genuine purpose or meaning...lol

    you point to fables and superstition and base your philosophy on the sole negation of such.
