What Is Atheism

Atheism is, etymologically speaking, a completely rational term. Atheism is to theism what apolitical is to politics. The terms mean not interested in or a part of theism or politics. Atheism is the antithesis of theism.

Rationally atheism is understandable. It isn't easy to wrap one's mind around the creator, Jehovah God. Such a belief requires faith.

By definition atheism is nonsensical. A god can be anyone or anything. Natural, supernatural, person, place or thing, wood, stone, flesh and bone. Even, as Paul said, ones own belly can be a god. There are countless gods. It doesn't require belief, veneration or worship on your part. I don't believe in Zeus; I don't believe he ever existed; I don't venerate or worship Zeus, and yet Zeus is a god.

The definition of atheism as disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods. That's nonsensical.

No deity that would ever be worthy of worship would ever expect a bunch of mindless drones to just blindly accept said deity on pure "faith" ... that would be one very nonsensical and/or hateful deity to just f*ck with people like that.

Stop trying to make yourself feel better for your willingness to do so at the expense of others who are not.

Not even if 99% of the deities were invented by the faithful themselves? How obtuse could you possibly be?

I've spent over a quarter of a century studying gods of all sorts and I've posted all of the information any sensible person would need. If you have any rebuttal other than to shoot off your big mouth because your petty, fragile world view has been damaged then I suggest you shut up and post it. Otherwise I don't have time to waste on your pathetic and shallow ego.

@AkioTsukino Out of curiosity, following your 25 years of study, you did come to the conclusion that's it's all made up fables intended to control, right?

@Ynotisay The Bible? No. Not at all. If it was designed to do that it failed miserably at it. If that was the case we wouldn't be discussing it here. The conclusion that I have affirmed in that time is that the Bible is remarkably accurate and insightful. In that time I also discovered that religion wasn't designed to control either. It was redesigned to be controlled.

@AkioTsukino Wow. OK.
