+80 Being atheist is comparable to having a multiple choice question that you have chosen to leave blank. amirite?

I would say it's more comparable to having a multiple choice question that you have answered correctly ;)

Or, more probable, wrong.

atheists still believe in something. they believe (essentially) that there is nothing. they are the pessimists of the religious world. agnostics are just plain confused. that would be me. . .

Atheists are certainly not pessimistic they just choose to not believe rubish, instead they believe actual proven facts

I am not an atheist but this post really pisses me off. You're basically saying that being an atheist is the wrong answer. Have some respect for others or keep your opinions to yourself.

no offense, but if you want to keep your opinions to yourself you should GTFO. Look at what this site is for. lol. And I said being atheist isn't an answer.

OK.

Well, maybe its like an SAT multiple choice question where not answering does not affect your score :)

Haha true :)

that is what I was going to say maybe they just aren't sure so they don't answer it in order not to be penalized it is not saying it is the wrong answer just not an answer.....

That would be agnosticism...

I actually think it's more of a multiple choice question which you've answered "none of the above" to.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Which is basically the same thing...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No because there is, a decent amount of time, an answer that says "all of the above" or "none of the above."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes but picking "none of the above" means the same as not answering anything at all. Either way, you're choosing not to pick one of the choices.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, but it's not the same thing as leaving something blank, because leaving it blank means you defiantly got it wrong, but being atheist isn't wrong.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Okay, I see where you're going. Leave it blank and you're definitely wrong, choose none of the above and you have a chance at being right.

exactly :)

I spelled it correctly, so I don't know why you posted that...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

As you stated above, "...because leaving it blank means you DEFIANTLY got it wrong..."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

What if there is no "none of the above"?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

look kiddo, there's a reason tests don't ask your opinion on things. religious views are obviously something you cannot prove right or wrong. your analogy is terribly flawed, quite simply.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There is nothing wrong with being atheist. It just means that you don't believe that there is an "ultimate being." Most atheists are not bad people or soul-less freaks, they just believe more in the scientific stuff than the almighty stuff, that's the only difference between atheists and people who are religious.

completely and totally agree

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's more complicated than leaving a question blank.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You could have left the question blank simply because you don't agree, not because you don't know the answer.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Right, but that still makes it wrong.

To the teacher...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You are just as much an athiest as I am. The only difference is that I believe in one less god than you do.

@person who says blank is wrong, shutup you get the point of his original post stop trying to be a smart ass

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Why don't you just get over the fact that not everyone is religious? Assuming that you fully believe in a religion.. if you're content with your beliefs, you don't need to diss other peoples beliefs/lack of.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not really. You get points counted off for leaving an answer blank. That implies that atheists are bad people, or lazy. I'm not an atheist but the comparison is kind of unfair. It's more like answering None of the above on a survey of some sort. There is no wrong answer, it's only an opinion. Ultimately, not that big a deal. People can believe/not believe what they want, and we have no right to persecute or question them about it. Also, congratulations, you have incited a religious argument over the internet, for that you get a badge and a cookie :3
