Atheism - How many gods do YOU not believe in?
Anonymous said...
"Atheists are just religious freaks like most other religious nutters. Enough said."
Since not believing makes one a religious "freak" and believing makes one a religious "nutter", what's the third conclusion one can draw from experience with religion? Believing, not believing and____________?
A-gnostic doesn't count. Belief is a conviction as well as non-belief is a conviction. If one is convicted about not knowing then they are also a a-theist or without a belief in God. Hanging out in the middle is either a Theist between religious beliefs or an Atheist softening the descent by kidding themselves. Also, friends and family are much more likely to give one a pass if they use the word Agnostic or "I don't know." That at least sounds hopeful to them you will come to your senses when you finally know the right things and their truth. They will not be so kind to one who has the conviction that they live and think "a", without, Theism.
