[Urist is dead tome]

I was talkin' to the other guy. And I knew that his name in Hebrew would have been Yeshua.

[Urist is dead tome]

It seems that pretty much no one here is actually religious. And it also seems that this kinda went from an actual debate to mindless semantics.

[Shrugging Khan]

Alright, let me give it some new juice.

You're not atheists, you're just agnostics without god. If you can't say "you're wrong, and you ought to change" to a believer's face, then you might just as well be one of them.

[Realmfighter]

You're not an atheist, you're a prick.

[Shrugging Khan]

Pricks are a very inclusive culture. They'll take pretty much anyone as a member, you weakling!

[Urist is dead tome]

Dude just stop. All you do here is pick fights. This thread has failed to reach it's goal because of you.

[Shrugging Khan]

What goal? To discuss a hand-picked collection of inane details on the fringe of the whole "atheism" business? To let a bunch of weak atheists explain how they're very tolerant and understanding but they kind of politely disagree within certain limits?

I have no intention of stopping!

The only for sure athesit I saw here was just some punk that told people to keep religion to themselves. Guess what. IT SAYS TO DO THAT IN THE BIBLE.

[Leafsnail]

I thought it told you to spread the word as much as possible...?

[Shrugging Khan]

SO WHAT! It says a fuckton of things in their, as if any of that ever mattered. Christians pick from that idiotic book whatever they want to, and act like its the word of god!

Oh, the lulz.

[Urist is dead tome]

This is the passage that I think says don't pray in public, and keep religion to yourself.

"Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your father which is in heaven."

That's just the first part.

That isn't what weak atheism means.

I am also an atheist, just to clarify that Shrugging Khan is not the only one here.

[Urist is dead tome]

I would prefer to be near an implicit atheist rather than explicit. The latter frankly come off as confrontational asses. Don't mean to offend anyone here, but yeah.

[Leafsnail]

I'm definitely explicit, but not "strong".

Implicit atheism usually goes under some other name.

If you've ever known about religion and decided to be an atheist, you're explicit. Implcit Weak Athests are those who have never been exposed to religion, and thus don't think about it (babies and the like). I assume you're trying to say that you'd rather be an Explicit Weak Atheist than an Explicit Strong Atheist.
I don't see how it's confrontational to claim that we have sufficent evidence such that saying there are no gods is valid. Religion has failed over history time and time again, to the point where my doubt over the matter has evaporated due to a consistant inablity to bring evidence for god to the table. That is why I'm a strong atheist.
