Atheism is a boundless subject and while some atheists may be very lax about their beliefs, some others may aim to achieve certain objectives. Just as devout believers have their own ideas and agendas, unswerving non-believers have their own. The Debate Room at Atheist Republic is a forum that urges people from both ends of the spectrum and even those in between to have healthy interactions, exchange opinions and participate in debates about any topic.
The number of topics that one can debate over in this forum is bounteous and the good thing is that Atheist Republic heartily welcomes all who want to participate, irrespective of whether they are secular individuals, non-believers or even those who do not see eye-to-eye with atheists.
We know that all individuals are entitled to their own point of view but Atheist Republic also believes that there is no harm in having one’s point of view challenged. We are of the opinion that unless people involve themselves in educative, logical and meaningful debates, they will be unable to evolve intellectually, understand others with tolerance and appreciate what lies on the other side.
If you have ideas that genuinely intrigue you or could possibly intrigue others, it is a great idea to initiate and participate in a debate at Atheist Republic’s Debate Forum. Either you contribute to an existing thread or you can even start a thread of your own. Just remember to be respectful to all users since every individual is entitled to his or her own beliefs. Besides, you only stand to gain when you can engage with another in a comprehensible conversation. As most wise people are believed to have said, war was never the means for peace.
Ipso facto they are born atheists, and free of doctrine, as I said, so you seem to be repeating my point back to me, despite it destroying your claim that atheism is a doctrine, or that it requires doctrine.
FFS what is it you think “tabula rasa.” means? Yes, obviously, since babies have a “clean slate” they lack theistic belief and are atheists by definition, since they lack all beliefs they also lack doctrine, QED atheism is not a doctrine, nor does it need any doctrine. Atheists can and do adhere to doctrine, how many fucking times does it need to be explained to you that atheists, and atheism are not the same fucking thing?
Theism is a set of beliefs, thus it is a doctrine by definition, atheism by definition is not a doctrine. We are going around and around with you making the same false statements over and over, if that’s not trolling what it is?
Doctrine noun
a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.
Thus theism involves a set of beliefs is this sinking in yet?
Atheism noun
disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.
So clearly that is not a set of beliefs, but the lack or absence of a single belief. I don’t give a fuck what you want it to mean, or even why.
Uhhhhh huuuuummmm - Theism is simply belief in God or gods. It is defined as tinking/believing “God Exists.” All the dogma shit comes while defining that god, what he is like, how he exists, and why he does the things he does. There are pantheist gods, Catholic gods, many versions of Christian gods, Norse gods, Pagan gods, and all of them have their own reasons for existing and dogma for their minions to follow.
Yes. Once the assertion is made, people are going to have questions. If you can’t answer the questions, no one is going to believe you. So, you pull shit out of your ass and create Dogma. Atheism doesn’t work anything like that. We just wonder what in the fuck the theists are all talking about, and if there is a god, why in the hell can’t they all just get along? LOL
Obviously you think if you run your mouth enough you’ll magically convince everyone here that your shit argument on Atheism being a religion is legitimate. Sadly you are mistaken. But you must need to hear that 100 more times by most of everyone here before you give up and move on.
Bitch, I am claiming that atheism is a political doctrine. Atheism is not a religion just as theism is not a religion. It’s a real shame that i am the only atheist keen enough to recognize that, because all of the analogies, that you peon atheists use, are erroneous.
And I like most of the people here disagree with you, bitch. You keep using a No True Scotsman. There are people of all types of beliefs that hold political positions all around the world. So you can cram your stupid argument up your ass, nice and tight.
I enjoy your constant negging the group trying to get attention. Your attempts are rather sad, having to resort to insults to try to get a response on the subject you want to speak about. Did your father speak to you like this? This feels like a learned behavior.
If only that were true. Unfortunately, herding atheists is a bit like cat herding. It’s an exciting endeavor, but you just aren’t going to get them to line up and follow along.
IMHO, this place is like the Berlin of forums - it just keeps going and going, and the residents are pedants who will call you out if alles isn’t in ordnung.
