[quote:Anonymous Coward 29666193:MV8yMDc2NzIzXzM0OTgzOTQ2X0MyQzc0QTA2] [quote:PigsInSpace:MV8yMDc2NzIzX0REMDY5NzFB] When I encounter someone who claims they are Atheist, it makes me wonder about what Atheism truly is. The central thesis proposed by Atheism is that god does not exist, however, what most people don't realize is that "GOD" is central and key to the belief. God is the ground upon which Atheism is built on, however, the only catch is, that Atheists denounce god... but how can they truly be Atheist if god is central to their thesis? Meaning.. if there was no god, then Atheism would not be possible as a concept. You cannot use something you do not believe in as a central point in your thesis, correct? Atheism seems like a joke that is being played on the ignorant. A true atheist would never call themselves an Atheist, because Atheism immediately locks you in to "god" or the lack of "god".. but God is still very much part of the belief structure. Make sense? [/quote] No. It doesn't. God is an idea proposed by theists (believers). Atheists are merely those who have not been convinced by any of your arguments. They do not believe. They have no need for your mental crutch. The fact that one knows a word does NOT mean one believes in the concept it represents! Atheists do not denounce god. They just don't believe in it. Why should I denounce something I do not believe in? I denounce RELIGION because of the evil it commits and the indoctrination it imposes, especially on children. [/quote]
