+113 Atheists: you don't claim to know there is no God, you claim to not believe in one because scientifically you can't prove a negative and lack of evidence to support something isn't evidence against it. But you're not agnostic because you don't believe in God, amirite?

I feel that stating, "I don't believe in God" is basically saying God exists, but you deny said existence.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

No, it's not saying God exists because you wouldn't say that if you didn't believe he existed.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Wtf? I honestly want to know what you're trying to say. It sounds like you're saying I wouldn't say that if I was atheist, but I am....

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I'm not saying you wouldn't be saying anything if you were or were not Atheist. I'm saying someone who says they don't believe in God isn't saying God exists.

So you're basically just disagreeing with me, but not providing any support?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

What...?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

You're seriously making zero sense whatsoever. It's really not worth an argument. So nevermind.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

No, you're seriously not making sense. I'm pretty sure I've just been trolled. So OK.

Nope, you're just being stupid.

You lose any credibility when you anonymously use ad hominem insults. Then again, you didn't have much to begin with when you said stating, "I don't believe in God" is basically saying God exists.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Hahahaha well you also lose all credibility when you have shit for backup.

You sound like a jack ass when you start a sentence that's not funny with hahahahaha.

The entire point is that there //is// no back up. But lack of evidence to support something isn't evidence against it.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

"I don't believe in God('s existence)" That's what we mean.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

You can be an agnostic atheist.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Explain what that is to me please.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Ok I'll try. It means that you don't beleive in any god(s) but you aren't claiming to know that a god(s) do or don't exist.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Oh ok. Yeah, that's what I am.

I think all agnostic people would have to fall under either agnostic theist or agnostic atheist actually, wouldn't they?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

KoalaHugger: or they could just be completely unsure what they believe.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Good point anon, I stand corrected. Though at some point they'll probably figure out what they believe, whether they still identify as agnostic or not.

These posts are beyond annoying. You're looking for an easy way to get votes and comments on a topic that has been debated on this website a million times.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

How would you know what the point of me posting is...? I actually made it because of the comments here http://amirite.net/726291 namely the one that says Atheism is all about certainty. How am I supposed to know what the majority of Atheists think? Something like "the sky is blue" or "sleeping is good" are obvious posts that are used to get votes. An idea based solely on the individual's opinion is not a good way to get votes. And if you look here http://amirite.net/search.php?s...38;q=athiests+ you won't find very many posts about what the beliefs of an Atheist are.

It's so frustrating getting on here everyday and seeing posts with arguments about religion, atheism, and whether God is real or not. It's so old.

That was really obsessive. I can see why you went anonymous..

by Anonymous 11 years ago

...Yeah :3

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Also, none of those posts were about religion/atheism so it was pointless...

by Anonymous 11 years ago

You said "These posts are beyond annoying. You're looking for an easy way to get votes and comments on a topic that has been debated on this website a million times." The point isn't that you post religious shit, it's that you're a hypocrite for making posts that will obviously get YYAs and posting about topics that have been discussed a million times. And one of those posts mentions Muslims and Christians.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

That quote was about posts that make us argue whether God is real or not. My posts don't do that.. You misinterpreted.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

So it's not the fact that it's overdone or obvious, it's that it's talking about an opinion on God? I'm confused as to why you would hate a post that expresses a legitimate opinion. It's not like the over done posts about God that are used to get upvotes like "Thiests and Atheists should leave each other alone" Most posts I see about God being real or not are troll posts.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I'm Christian and I believe God exists, but I don't //know//. I think that's what faith means.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Yeah, this pretty much sums me up. I consider myself an agnostic-leaning atheist.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Well, there's no way to prove either way, because you can't prove a theory. The idea of God is just that: an idea. Completely intangible. You can shout all you want that the bible says this or that science says that, but - at the end of the day - your debate will go nowhere. I think being an atheist is saying, "There is no God" and being a theist is saying, "There is a God (or whatever you believe)", but both parties have to be aware that there is no proof either way and be open to each other's ideas. Honestly, they probably just didn't think this far into it when they came up with these terms.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Theories can be discredited or proven wrong though... Also, though I don't believe in God, I completely agree and respect everything you said in your comment.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

I guess that's true. Maybe there's a better word I can use. Also, I don't believe in God, either. It's kinda funny, though. Rereading my comment, it does sound like I'm religious despite the fact that it's completely neutral. I guess we attribute certain arguments and mindsets to certain groups. Interesting.

by Anonymous 11 years ago

Ummm, if i'm not mistaken Agnosticism is claiming that you honest to fuck don't know if there is a god or not, it's impossible to prove so you don't really have a religion.
