The stigma of being an atheist in the US

[laklak]

The only way there's a stigma attached is if you give a single flying fuck what anybody else thinks of you. I don't. They can all go pound sand up their pious sphincters. As a major bonus they avoid you like bubonic plague. Good. Fuck off.

I just corrected him on the meaning of atheism. He's undeniably wrong.

You didn't get it right either.

Gnostics are idiots. Use the correct terminology.

[piscator]

"Proof"? Gnosticism is a statement about the possibility of knowledge. Gods providing rock solid evidence (which they are surely capable of) is an obvious way to gain knowledge of God.
The practice of denying the flesh to gain gnos is a different subject.

You show me a control panel and claim it is connected to something, which is why I'm precisely a nihilist with a parachute sat behind you.

"How do they know this isn't a universe with a God in it? "

Valid question. In the Book, praise be upon Dawkins.

I and most atheists don't claim to "know" that this is a universe without a god in it. You been hanging around Seth too much lately??

and how many gnostic atheists do you know? I've never met (virtually or in real life) one.

Just because you haven't met them doesn't mean they don't exist. I've met people who state, uncategorically, that there is no such thing as 'god'. Usually because they've no interest in hearing what religious people have to say.

[pErvinalia]

It doesn't matter. He's still wrong. He implied that atheists were exclusively in the gnostic atheist conjunction. That's simply wrong.

There is no convincing evidence that Atheists exist.

[Svartalf]

After you eat them, do they still exist?

We in Africa only eat missionaries, so the issue never arises.
