Anyhow, I have read several sites like them and what they state is their opinion in issolation of all other athiests. They did not canvas all athiests to obtain a consensus of opinion and no athiest has to agree to those opinions in order to be an athiest.
 
That's why i said SOME in capital letters, there are SOME atheists doing evangelism as there are SOME Christian, denominations making evangelism, seems we agree in this point also.

As to Strong/Weak/Possitive/Negative atheism, I dispute them, as do others:

Not all, but some do the problem is that when people refer to christianity they have a vision of two guys knocking at your door at 6 am to sell you salvation, some do this, and it's wrong, I'm the fiorst one who has saidfthis several times. Some atheists act in similar way.
 
But as some dispute his categorization, others believe in it and there lies the problem....Or the schism LOL

Well Dean, I found several organizations with dfferent perspectives, some even not compatible, so it's reasonable to believe there's some sort of schism.

So if I have no belief system I am not allowed to call myself an atheist? Okay, I am not an atheist, I just don't have a religion or belief system that requires a supernatural figure head.
 
Again you are changing my words, i say there's a common dogma in atheism, and it's "There's no God" if you don't accept that dogma (And for that reason believe in some divinity), then you can't be an atheist by definition.
 
Originally posted by Dean Dean wrote:

Love is a human characteristic, as is compassion, the use of "jealous" in the scriptures was not to denote "envy", but to show "love" - a god that loves his people so much that he would be jealous if they worshipped any gods as well as him. That is not the same as being envious of the other gods. As I said - it was written to dissuade the Israelites from turning to the polytheistic ways of their neighbours.
 
Then we agree, this are the beliefs or the interests of the Israelites that were added to the Old testament as if it was the word of God.
 
Originally posted by Dean Dean wrote:

But that is beside the point, you have agreed with the point that began this particular branch of discussion, which was to demonstrate that christians know that other gods do not exist without having to prove belief that they do not exist: " of other Gods that don't exist"
 
Of course we have dogmas, that's a characteristic of a religion.
 
Originally posted by dean dean wrote:

The phrase "I am a jealous god, worship no other god but me", which is the specific phrase that I stated that caused you to question the use of the word "jealous" I made no mention of Abraham in connection with that word and specifically said it was used during the exile of the Israelites in Egypt.
 
I believe the jealous quotation came after, but doesn't matter we were talking about different quotes.
 
That's all for me in his thread

I use that one too Mike, along with God-f******-Dammit, when I stub my toe or something.....you have to wonder where those combinations come from.

Well there is certainly NO SUCH THING as separation of church and state in the U.S., that is a myth if I ever heard one.  The Right wing aligning itself with the religious right back in the fifties pretty much guaranteed that there would never be a separation, not to mention that the subject of Abortion is a platform utilized and twisted to pull votes (which tends to be a religious debate, even though it should be a civil debate/right).   The fact that the U.S. dollar has "in god we trust" on it, denies separation of church and state.... I could go on, but you get the drift....  Wink

I don't mind debate.  But it is one thing to argue and another to go into a thread knowing that most of the people will be opposed to you;  (I don't go into the Chritianity thread for this very reason) It's one thing to "preach to the choir" and another to do missionary work in a foreign land that may or may not be full of godless cannibals!  Tongue

Yes, but in many countries, religion is still in a special place. Religious institutions are generally not taxed. Religion is still used to get the votes and support of the people. Religious groups try to push the separation of church and state, just look at California and the Prop 8 fiasco.

   This thread wasn't about debating the existence of God. It was about caused a person to be an atheist and issues regarding atheism.

Nice play of words Dean,. it's fantastic and perfect for a lawyer on a trial. calling them loonies because you don't agree with them, doesn't make them loonies.

Hmm - you've shown that before and I didn't laugh then either, though most of those "commandments" are laughable. The guy is obviously full of good intentions but he is not speaking for (using your statistics) the 1 billion atheists and agnostics present in the world today - Alexia site traffic for that site suggests that less than 0.001% of atheists have even seen it - compare that to the percentage of christians and non christians who are aware of the 10 (or 15 Wink) commandments of Exodus (or the percentage of christians who regularily break at least one of them every day).
 
So the ones who talk about Positive Atheism are loonies, this guys also, wow, you are getting closer to Fundamentalists at every step, next time you will say that only your view of Atheism is cotrrect. Wink

In fact as an atheist I find it embarrassing that the guy should even attempt to mirror the Decalogue and then struggle to make a full ten. I can make nine perfectly acceptable non-religious commandments just by choosing from those listed in Exodus Ch.20 - nine that I have adhered to my whole life so far, but my adherence to them does not make it a religious system, or make me a believer in any religious system.
 
But Dean, I know you don't agree with them, but they are part of he Atheists, the Positiove Atheists also, there are factions and schisms as in any Church. Wink

For a religion that is not enough - you cannot be a christian by just saying that you are, you cannot be a christian just by going to church every Sunday and saying a few prayers.
 
That's way I said ALMOST religious STRUCTURE.
 
You say there is no dogma, i say there is all of the Atheists share a comonm dogma and that is God doesn't exist, and why is it Dogma?
 
Because is an stablished opinion without which you are not Atheist, as you are not a Christian if you don't believe in the divinity of Christ.
 
 
So if I have no belief system I am not allowed to call myself an atheist? Okay, I am not an atheist, I just don't have a religion or belief system that requires a supernatural figure head.

It is not my claim - I just quoted Exodus - in fact the phrase "jealous god" appears many times in the old testament (Exodus, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Ezekiel and Nahum). I put no interpretation on that phrase other than equating jealousy with displeasure. Applying any human emotion to a diety is probably unwise, but there is such a limited vocabulary we can use in these cases - however I am sure that the scripture writers chose their words very carefully. The meaning of the word "Jealous" was not lost or hidden to the ancient Israelites.
 
The perspective of early israelites assignig human characteristics to God doesn't imply he really has thse characteriostics, God can't be jealous, he can't envy anything because he's almighty according to our beliefs, much less he can be jealous of other Gopds that don't exist.
 
 
Love is a human characteristic, as is compassion, the use of "jealous" in the scriptures was not to denote "envy", but to show "love" - a god that loves his people so much that he would be jealous if they worshipped any gods as well as him.

What phrase? I was referring to the moment when God reveals himself to Abraham (Genesis Chapters 12 and forward), and even when talking about Moses, he was a educated man for the era, but hardly would had understood many things we do now.

I'm not trying to convince anybody to follow a determined faith, I couldn't care less about that, but I do believe some atheists are doing acts similar to evangelism...That's all.

Oh, I never said you said it was universally; I was just wondering what you thought about it.

I agree that some atheist people and organizations can be just as pushy as religious organizations; it really just comes down to an individual basis. In general though, I tend to find more pushy religious organizations than atheist ones.

Not sure that means anything significant.

Now look people. I think both sides need to stick to their respective threads. Discussion IS great, but clearly we are having a problem keeping it as just a discussion. I see people bashing atheism, saying Buddhism is not a religion, saying those who believe in God have "crusaded" this thread.
Honestly, it's getting pretty tense in here. It's why past debate now, just getting nasty.
