Generally grumpy and sick of lack of doxastic nuance (atheist and theists), can’t stand stupid unless it my own.

Humble if you get through the grumpy
Sure, read Oppy, Mcgrath or Friedman. Don’t take my word for it. Hell talk to any philosophically inclined atheist.

You don’t have to engage with me.

Like lack of belief atheism being illogical? Or that theism is the default position? Or that atheism has more than one definition.

Sure Ill come back

Sure sure.

Yea correct, could be me but I don’t believe it is. I have more confidence its you not having a grasp of knowledge and belief.

So yea and yea oh and yes
December 1, 2024 at 11:06 PM
Possibly, or failing to express myself.

It tends to be a straight forward conversation with people who understand a bit about the doxastic nature atheism and theism.

I would vote for you
December 1, 2024 at 9:59 PM
Yes you are, I can’t take that from you.
December 1, 2024 at 9:57 PM
I’m an atheist…
December 1, 2024 at 9:54 PM
Use the beginner advice that works for you..
December 1, 2024 at 9:41 PM
Ok, your position is that you lack belief in god?

The only possible way for that to be true is through ignorance(1) of god or suspension(2) of belief

1 is reserved to infants an 2 is practically impossible for anyone using atheism as an identifier, unless you refuse to accept a concept of “god”

Do you agree with my definitions it makes it hard to justify my position if we don’t agree on the definitions?
December 1, 2024 at 9:30 PM
Sorry, Just to make sure i didn’t miss step here.

A theist believes(B) a god(p) or many exists (Bp and -B-p)

An atheist believes a god does not exist (B-p and -Bp)

?

Im saying atheist (some) make the argument that atheism is a non claim and therefore requires not evidence or justification.

They usually use the bald is not a hair colour rhetoric.

So they don’t deny their counter by don’t acknowledge it at all.
December 1, 2024 at 9:21 PM
Its usually used as an argument for atheism being a lack of belief, but all the examples I gave only make sense because the counter ( hair colour, tv etc) actually exists.

Funnily enought that’s not what the science suggests.

It literally suggests that faith is natural and instinctive.

But who am I to judge
December 1, 2024 at 8:39 PM
Me :)

Yes, the potential is astronomical and it will be a paradigm shift that is already touching on tangential industries in a fundamental way and driving their expansion and innovation..
