It tells me you don’t understand what rationalism and scepticism mean, they’re not proper nouns for a start.
It’s not a title, it’s a description, and they’re only useful if used correctly. Your misrepresentation of what atheism means is risibly absurd.
There are over 45k different sects and denominations of Christianity globally, over 200 in the US alone, so don’t call yourself a Christian it’s meaningless…
“Do you believe in God?”
“No, I don’t believe in any god because I am an atheist”
That’s it, that’s how a normal conversation between normal people goes without all of these headaches; the other points you made have nothing to do with your original statement so I’m not even gonna bother to asnwer them as it would be a waste of my time.
Sometimes I tell people that I worship Jahbulon for trolling purposes.
Please describe that viewpoint and list the dictations of western culture.
Exactly what?
That isn’t an answer to me question.
I don’t believe god is real. I didn’t choose to be an atheist. The Christians are the one who call me that when they find out I don’t believe. Take it up with them.
Irrelevant line of reasoning for me. I am European, I live in Europe, English is my second language, and I was taught British English in school. Everyone here understand what you mean when you say atheist.
Leroy is of course talking utter bollocks.
The reason I’m an atheist, is because I don’t accept unsupported mythological assertions uncritically as fact. It has nothing to do with his bullshit fantasies about “cultural hegemony”. But he’s too busy pretending that he knows what we think better than we do ourselves, in classic arrogant mythology fanboy fashion, to bother paying attention.
Indeed, he’s behaving just like the worst creationists we’ve all encountered here - “nah nah, reality is wrong and I’m right”.
