third. what the fuck would you have to discuss on an atheist discussion group?


What about discussing whether the 1st Amendment's Establishment clause was meant to legislate the separation of church and state, nope "501.3.(c)" or merely prohibit the state from naming an official religion?  <-- that one

Whether the Supreme Court was right to uphold the inclusion of the words "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency, If you look closely its closer to the "IN GOD WE" Trust.or "One Nation Under God" in the pledge of alligiance?  <the sovereign king of england considered himself god ya know?  Why not the sovereign federal gubafia?

Oh and btw, might want to look up what the word [Al]liege means:

quote:

liege   [leej, leezh] 
noun
1. a feudal lord entitled to allegiance and service.
2. a feudal vassal or subject. 
adjective
3. owing primary allegiance and service to a feudal lord.
4. pertaining to the relation between a feudal vassal and lord.
5. loyal; faithful: the liege adherents of a cause


Whether there should be atheist chaplains in the military?
Now you did it, DK is going to have a bird, official Church of "Zero".

How to counteract the movement against teaching evolution in school?
Raise school taxes.

How to (for lack of a better word) fill the void that's left when you renounce religion but you still seek for a higher purpose in life?
George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer (live)

How to determine what's moral without god?

Oh thats easy! - 

Maybe a discussion about whether atheists are subject to discrimination?    

Comparing and contrasting Christianity with other myths.
911 Commission report?

Huge amounts of things, like the ones posted by gungadin... without the interference of theists. Which is a good reason to have Atheist forums.
The same applies for Theist, Christian, Communists, etc...

you don't think that atheists agree that there is no god?

Thank you for the explanation on the first point. Sorry I misunderstood.
No, they don't. In English, Atheism describes both the "weak" and the "hard" positions, where some of them do not say "There is no God". They just do not say "There is a God" either. Some, for example, Russell or Drange, say that the question cannot be answered. Drange even says that it is not a question at all.
As long as English puts Agnosticists in the concept of Atheist, atheist do not agree on, that there is no God.
Best regards.

The English language does no such thing. The fact that the words "agnostic" and "atheist" are NOT synonyms would be your first clue.

I recommend you to be more humble when trying to correct me.
If you consult the Oxford dictionary, or the wikipedia and its sources, or you consult the difference between "weak" and "hard" Aheist as I mentioned in my posting, you will discover that yes, the English language does include both Agnostics and hard Atheists in the concept of Atheist. Agnostics do not believe in the existence of God, therefore they are Atheists according to the Oxford dictionary and those other sources.
If you played more attention to my posting, you would have seen that I say that the ones are included in the others. This suggests that I know perfectly well that they are not synonymous.
Maybe you should read with more attention and answer more thoughtfully. I am trying to be diplomatic here, but you posting was very annoying for me because of the tone.
Best regards.

Good. I'm glad it was annoying. That classification of degrees of atheism doesn't come from the OED, it comes from Richard Dawkins.

I've been an atheist for longer than you've been alive. Don't presume to educate me about atheism, sonny.

Consult the Oxford dictionary. Not Dawkins. The Oxford dictionary. I did put you the link already, but you do not read what I am writing.

For the rest: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/atheist

There you will find that agnostics are included in the group of atheists, as I said the English language does.

As for the classification between strong / weak Atheist, was there before Dawkins was born... it relies on Karl Marx strong/weak differentiation. Marx being Aheist long before your father was born... .

Actually, for your shame and ridicule, Dawkins precisely critisizes this classification prefering a stochastic approach. "The God Delusion" p. 50-51.

And now I "hide" you because I prefer not to read people who want to be annoying and do not pay attention. Oh, and yes, the argumentum ad verecundiam is also pretty ridiculous.

what the fuck does that have to do with anything? i mean really now, its not like you get better at not believing. what the fuck does it matter how long you haven't believed, one minute or 100 years, its not like you don't believe even more with time.

and what the fuck is there to be educated about? do you need to learn how not to believe?

atheism 101
lesson #1: there is no god.
lesson #2: there is no lesson #2, that's all there is to it. course complete.

What is the "God" meant in the definition.
How and when Atheism appeared.
Which is the situation of Atheists in the world.
How has been classified Atheism, and why, by when, for what.

If you can have a "female studies" you can have "Atheist studies".

Or you need to be taught to have a vagina ? Just kidding, but I hope you get the point. You can study many things which are in core very simple. It is just about gathering together all which has do to with the concept.

PS: There is also "lesbian studies". Apply the same. You are lesbian and that's it, but the story of lesbianism and its relation with the surrounding society can be an interesting subject matter. I guess even you or your partner know something about some famous lesbian. Why did you care? It does not matter... but you did.

who the fuck cares. i suspect atheism existed before theism did, i mean somewhere along the line some fucker had to be the first to come up with the idea. but in any case, that isn't going to affect my lack of belief in any way.

who the fuck cares, i don't believe in god, how some fuck in an ivory tower classifies that isn't going to make me believe any less.

i think the problem here is that for some being an atheist is a big part of who the fuck they are, its a major component of their self image. while to me it just describes something i am not. i'm not a theist, and that's all there is to it, it doesn't affect my life in any fucking tangible manner, it's just something i don't believe is real, right up there with santa claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy, tarzan, and gregory house.

being female or a fucking lesbian does effect my life in a concrete manner, being an atheist doesn't.

* No, if I define "god" as "Hannah" you definitivey believe that Hannah exists. You sentence makes no sense, sorry.
* Some people care about history. That you do not care is your choice but don't try to denigrate interests just because they are not yours.
* Some people care about fighing against discrimination, no matter if they feel "more atheist" or not for that (in that point I agree with you).
* Being atheist DOES affect your life, as it excludes being, for example, Christian. And it also affects how some people react to you.

I am with you in many points:
* Atheism is in core simple and admits few degrees (disagree with Dawkins on that).
* Atheism is as itself nothing to be proud of (but I think it can be to reach that from a religious society, as it shows independence of criteria).
* Atheism implies no special set of interests, values, etc.

But it *makes* sense to speak about atheist studies or knowledge on Atheism.

Last but not least. I understand that everbody here expresses themselves as they please, but I will limit strongly my communication with you if you continue using the word "fuck" on every sentence. Just saying.

Not that you funcking have to fucking care, it is ok if you do not give a fuck about how the fuck I fucking communicate with you, but I fucking find it simply fucking annoying to fucking read the "fuck" word on every fucking sentence and therefore I'm fucking informing you about which my fucking course action will be.
