What does a person have to do to prove that they are not a theist?

What the fuck do you want? A pat on the back? A gold star?

Why does one need to “prove” they are an atheist? That is a very Christian notion. Xtians are always trying to demonstrate how “devout” they are to their fellow theists on Wednesdays and Sundays. It’s always “Oh look at me! Oh look at me!”

That is really breathtakingly stupid. Challenging the definitions of the words you need? What in the hell are you blathering about? Here’s a definition for you…go ahead and challenge this one:

doctrinaire in American English

  1. a person who tries to apply some doctrine or theory without sufficient regard for practical considerations ; an impractical theorist. adjective. 2. dogmatic about others’ acceptance of one’s ideas; fanatical.

  2. You are a theist

  3. You are a liar

  4. You are a Troll

  5. You are afflicted with batshitterinson’s syndrome

  6. You have a brain disorder

  7. You are desirous of being slapped

  8. You have found yourself adrift in a morass of stupidity and are flailing about, hoping for a lifeline of semantical ambiguity.

Check all that apply and proceed to slap yourself.

I do not remember ever learning of “Presuppositionalism,” and upon reviewing the Wikipedia article I do not recognize how you apply it to describe me! I do not believe in gods, nor do I trust the legend of Jesus.

I am arguing honestly. You have problems arguing honestly. You have claimed to have encountered my arguments from other people. You have claimed that there are more “ways to believe,” than what I am guarding as the erroneous presumption that atheists believe “belief” to be. And then, you have been bullying me using vulgarities.

If my arguments seem non-sensical to you, then ignore them like you ignore all of the other discussions that you ignore. I am not pestering you to participate. I am trying to respond to as many arguments as I can. It is difficult being the artificer of a scientific paradigm.

The foundation of my arguments is based on ontology. The problem that atheists, and the political realm of society, are encountering is due to the absence of a reliable ontology to correctly sort the categories of entities and subsequent semantics.

Nobel Prize in Economics.

Because I am being accused of being a Christian. You cannot figure that out, because I am challenging the doctrine that atheists are supposed to guard: atheism is the lack of belief in gods.

That is an informal definition, but it forms your primary doctrine for defining what you believe to be true.

Theism is an ontological doctrine that claims that a supernatural deity is the creator of reality.

Atheism is a political doctrine that opposes theist doctrine as the basis for public policy, because atheism cannot be an ontological doctrine, as theism is.

And you are providing this reliable ontology? Please help me understand what credentials you have enabling you to soundly explain and classify entities. What is it about your efforts to do so that should convince folks to trust you as reliable in this arena?

@Cognostic Well, Cog, he’s got you now. He just used the unbeatable “Nuh-uh! I’m-not-you-are” defense. Sorry, ol’ buddy, but there is no way to counter that.

Cog?.. Using vulgarity?.. No fucking way! Surly you jest! Don’t worry, though, C.H., I’ll handle this. Stand by while I go slap the shit out of him real quick.

What the fuck?!? Since when the hell did we start having guard duty? Nobody ever gives me the memo for these things. Y’all can kiss my shiny metal ass on that bullshit, though. I did my share of guard duty with the military and police. Ain’t standing any more watches no damn more. My name better not be on the roster. :triumph:

You have not challenged a single word. You have made an unfounded and unevidence assertion. Atheism is a dogma. You have not shown me the evidence for the claim. YOu assert atheists believe something. You have not indicated what that belief is. You have challenged nothing. All you have done is make the same inane assertion over and over and over and now someone needs to remove you from the site,.

You are a dishonest Christian apologist using a presuppositional position to troll the atheist forum. Your position has been debunked and all you can find to do is repeat your idiocys.

Can we remove this person?

I have never written that. I have written that atheists have a dogma - the informal definitions of atheism and theism, and the incorrect definition of religion. And then atheists believe/use those erroneous definitions (champion) to test the moral bearing of candidates for membership in their peer groupings.

And I proved it. @Cognostic refuses to prove that he and the rest of the good atheists have encountered my arguments previously. Why don’t you help him?

And he has failed to prove that there are multiple ways of “believing.” Again, why don’t you help him?

My definition of belief is “support of a doctrine.” Your definition of belief is a magical switch in the brain.

By the way, i notice that UAA does not yet have a logo. I think it’s time to make one. Here is my suggestion:

No, you missed the entire point of my post. The entire point of my post is that an actual Atheist wouldn’t give two flying fucks or care to prove it. Some atheists wear it on their sleeve that they don’t believe in bullshit fairy tales.

When you sit there and claim that Atheism is a doctrine at all, it makes you sound like an xtian. Atheism is simply the lack of or disbelief in the existence of deities. That’s all it’s ever been. It’s officially not a belief system or considered a religion. You’d know that if you read about it. Read this article word for word than sit there and tell us what it said because you obviously don’t fucking get it.

That is the atheists doctrine, and you are guarding it.

You have a “(litmus) test” for determining who is an actual atheist compared to a fake atheist; but you do not want to confirm that, because that means that there is an atheist doctrine that atheists are responsible for guarding.

I have explained the problem, and the solution is that atheism is a political doctrine that opposes theist doctrine as the moral basis for public policy.

Atheists should not believe in a magical switch in the brain that theist seem to believe in when it comes to believing in the existence of a supernatural deity. Atheists should believe that belief is “support of a doctrine,” including the doctrine of supporting reasoning to that doctrine.

Wow. Just wow. You’re so fucking dumb.

Dude, I live in the bible belt. I live in a big ass church town. There are no “groups of Atheists” where I live. There are no get togethers. Everyone where I live is made up of xtians. Almost everyone I know is a Christian. I don’t go out hunting down people who are atheists. I don’t go around with a note pad asking who is an Atheist and why. Wanna know why?

I. DON’T. GIVE. A. FUCK.

Because that’s what Christians do when they go door to door handing you their dumb ass pamphlets wanting you to join their congregation.

What the fuck are you going on about? What the fucking fuck?

Sounds like that’s what you think Atheists should believe in. Guess what that’s called? Magical thinking. Choke on it, boi.
