Some Questions for "Atheists"
 

Salaam (Peace) to all.

1) How do ATHEISTS define the term "atheism"?

2) How would ATHEISTS describe the "God" that they say or suggest doesn't exist?

3) Do ATHEISTS see themselves as integral, inherent parts of the Universe in which they exist, or as something different from the Universe in which they exist?

I have more questions, but I would like to have some responses to these, above, first.

All sincere responses are welcomed. Sarcasm and Fallacy will be ignored.

I'm really interested in the responses to number 3.

Sallam akhi.

I wasn't being sarcastic, question 2 is a catch 22.

Thank you, beautifulrock, for your response.

Are you an atheist? If so, what does that mean for you, specifically ?

RM

Atheism means that you don't believe in God. There is no gray area. It has nothing to do with spirituality or believing in God but not religion. An atheist strictly believes that there is no God. If you believe in God or you are spiritual, you are not atheist. Stop confusing these kids beautifulrock.

Whether or not God exists, the life of someone who believed in God is 9 times out of 10 better then the life of someone who didn't believe in God. You want to live your whole life believing in God, and be wrong? Or you want to live your whole life not believing in God and be wrong? Its okay to question your faith. But realize that believing in evolution without God takes just as much faith.

haha wow......
i didn't even go as far to say that one who believes in god is a moronic piece of shit but that's what you just implied with atheists.
eat a dick.
or better yet, show me any study that actually proves that statement rather than just pulling it out of your ass.

i can not state this enough- if one is so convinced and contempt with the possibility of a judgment day, they are only enabling it to occur- meaning the genocide of the human species.
which i personally find disturbing.
i live my life knowing that i will die at somepoint but hoping genetically aspects of me may live on. agreeing with an apocalypse occuring is wishing death on the generation that must face it, including your own family.

I find everything you said to be ignorant because I have done the research. You clearly haven't. You can't possibly know how the other side exists if you can't fathom living on the other side. Your statements reek of conjecture and false statistics. You sound just like a false prophet.


Atheism can be either the rejection of theism,[1] or the position that deities do not exist.[2] In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.[3]



first sentence of wikipedia definition

At first i was an atheist because I rejected Catholicism , but as I did more research, began to believe in the scientific principals that could explain spirituality, and a stream of infinite consciousness that is never ending and always beginning again.

W'Salaam, Akhi!

Salaam (Peace), begongo...and thank you for your response.

Insha'Allah, I will respond a little later...

RM

Salaam (Peace) to all.

To "beautifulrock" and "DrBold241"...

Thank you both for your answers. I have a few more questions (one, for now) to pose to you, and whomever else cares to participate (reasonably).

Given your responses regarding your (Man's) relationship to the rest of the Universe, what would you say is the "material" difference between the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up your (Man's) body, and those that comprise the rest of the known Universe (aside from "arrangement", of course)?

Looking forward to your responses.

Arguing with religious people about atheism is useless since they'll keep reading from a book.
