Atheism is a or is a product of mental illness...

Why? Do you believe it is going to be raining flying pigs?

 

No. But since you don't rule them out, I'd be concerned, if I were you, about the fallout after their all-you-can-eat celestial buffet.

 

My definition of atheism is a willing practiced disbelief in God. A willing rejection of the concept of God.

I see no reason for this at all, why reject God when you don't even believe in God? Why accept any concept of God by another that you feel you have to prove them wrong in their belief?

Is it not enough to just enjoy non God?

So I see atheism, which is a practice, not merely as someone who simply has faith in non God, but someone who is actively trying to convince others that their belief in God is wrong. They are the flip side of the evangelicals.

Do you really see the live and let live atheists in these threads?

Or do you see the mentally ill type who have to try and convince others that their beliefs are wrong?

I don't recall ever saying the atheist are wrong in their beliefs or their religion, I am in no position to evaluate their personal beliefs.

I have my beliefs, they are free to have theirs, and as long as they don't prevent me from my beliefs, what is the problem?

 

Fundamentalist beliefs invariably translate into actions. Republicans pandering to the religious Right do try, and occasionally succeed, in passing legislation that impacts other people's lives.

 

belief is the precursor to action ..

dumazz

you have no idea of a god, you're too stupid

 

Invariably is not necessarily.

There are people who are fundamentalist in their beliefs, but they don't use the political process to inflict their beliefs on others...

I am assuming that you also oppose fundamentalist speculative scientists or atheists who try to impose their beliefs on others through the political process...

 

Thanks for showing everyone your level of emotional and mental development.

Helps to support my initial thesis...

 

So we now have a theist who finds he has to rule in flying pigs so he doesn't have to logically rule out God, asking if atheists have mental illness.

you really couldn't make this stuff up

 

OH MY GOD (WHOOPS) ROFL TOO FUNNY!

stu always find that logical angle that's so clever and funny

 

I don't have to rule in or out flying pigs. I am not concerned with flying pigs in any way.

A flying pig is not God in my view, as a flying pig is a limited situation.

Those who think a flying pig, or Santa Claus, or a Giant Sky Daddy Fairy are an equivalent of God have a different concept of God than I have...

They are entitled to it, just as you are entitled to worship your own Gilbert...
