So again... instead of just realizing your definition is /wrong/. In fact even when I JUST defined atheism to you in the post you are responding to. You decide what other people believe, and put words in their mouths? That's not how things work.

You believe in "higher things". Okay? But the fact is, you must've been convinced from a purely ANECDOTAL position. Unless you claim to have evidence that nobody else has, in which case what's taking you so long to blow the world's mind with your secret info? Why does nobody else have this evidence, why have they not produced it and cashed in on it already?

Some #foodforthought; for reflection.

That is the very definition of Straw Man, attacking a position the opposition isn't even arguing.

Sorry Siemens I do not wish to be seen as ganging up on you but what TerramineLightviod is saying here I think is true and very well said I must add.

I do not think that is true, I haven't seen Siemens do that, but only share their perspective as simply as they could; just as you and other's have in here~

Tho everyone's perspective may not always 'a lign' with each other, doesn't mean it's not true, cause everyone has different things that they have learned from their experiences in life that have led them to where they are.

Okay. I didn’t read TerramineLightvoid's comments very carefully because I wasn’t interested in discussing with him. Which sentence that I wrote do you think is erroneous?

It might be true that atheism isn’t a religion in the actual sense of the word if you define religion as belief regarding something supernatural. But it is undeniably true that atheism is a dogmatic belief system. I said atheism is a religion because atheism is a dogmatic belief system:
- Atheists believe without any prove that human consciousness is created by the human brain (because they deny the possibility of the existence of a soul).
- Atheists believe without any prove that we all developed through biological evolution (natural selection) because they deny the possibility of spiritual forms of evolution.
- Atheists believe without any prove that the whole universe is made up of substantial matter (atoms) although the material universe could also be a virtual simulation we use to make experiences.

So atheists do positively believe in things that are unproven, dogmaitc and arbitrary – therefore I call atheism “religion” = dogmatic belief system.

I didn’t read all TerramineLightviod wrote because I discussed this topic many years. And I think I’m not in charge to give people that are at a very low spiritual level private lessons.
He should believe what he wants. I'm not interested in it.

I’ve problems with the term “ to respect” someone’s beliefs. What does to respect others beliefs actually mean? I think they are wrong but I accept your right of being wrong?

So you respect others beliefs as long as they do not cause harm to anyone?

Do you mean this quote:
"the problem is... that you didn't look up the definition in a dictionary to see that you were... wrong? You don't get to just make up definitions of words, especially when trying to scrutinize other people." ?
As I already said: I used the term “religion” in the sense of a dogmatic belief system. This is not so different from a dictionary definition. So were is the problem?


Or do you mean that quote:
" you have to be looking at what /they/ are saying, not your unfathomably wrong assumption of what they are saying." ?
I do know what atheists say and believe. I gave you three examples of what atheists dogmaticaly believe in my last post:
- Atheists believe without any prove that human consciousness is created by the human brain (because they deny the possibility of the existence of a soul).
- Atheists believe without any prove that we all developed through biological evolution (natural selection) because they deny the possibility of spiritual forms of evolution.
- Atheists believe without any prove that the whole universe is made up of substantial matter (atoms) although the material universe could also be a virtual simulation our souls created.

I just wont to explain to peeps why I do not post / engage on sf as much as I could, I have had certain posts deleted over time and one just recently.

And if I can not be my self it don't feel right.

I do not wont to be suspended as I have gained a lot from being a member here, and I also feel I contribute my own perspective on things spiritual and such.

Just felt I had to express my feelings.

peace and love

you don't have to discuss if you don't want to

This is how you treat me, can you see that.

Look up your posts to me, especially your recent ones.
