Is atheism a religion? If yes, make your case. [Spirituality & Religion]

@GodSpeed63


Nope.
Categorically incorrect.

According to your belief system, they may replace your personal god in their life with something else. This is known as an idol. It is not a belief in, or worship of, a deity. Therefore they are atheists: people who disbelieve or lack belief in a god or gods.

Prove me wrong.

@Pikachu
What do you think a dummy god is?

@GodSpeed63

Not a god. Do you disagree?

@Pikachu A dummy god is an idol. Yes, I disagree with you.

@GodSpeed63

And an idol is not a god. If you disagree then explain why an idol is in fact a god.
If you fail to do that then you acknowledge that an idol is not a god and therefore an atheist does not believe in a god and is therefore *gasp'8 an atheist

@Pikachu
By whose authority?

@GodSpeed63

*ahem*

An idol is not a god. If you disagree then explain why an idol is in fact a god.

So explain why you think it is and we'll go from there.

@Pikachu I've already explained this to you before. Why do you need to hear it again? Do you want to get rid of your idols?

@GodSpeed63

No. You haven't.
But if you have then it will be no trouble to explain it again in brief.
Go ahead.
Or concede the point. Those are your choices

@Pikachu
Sure I have, you weren't paying attention or didn't want to pay attention.

@GodSpeed63

strike one

@Pikachu How many strikeouts will it take before you discover that it's you holding the bat instead of me?

@GodSpeed63

cute deflection

that's strike two 😉

@Pikachu I must be a good pitcher in order to strike you out twice.

@GodSpeed63

I asked such a simple question. At least i thought it was simple.

That's strike three.
Try again next time.🙂

@Pikachu
You're out. I Told you, it's not me that strikes out, it's you. I've already hit my home run when I invited Christ into my heart.

@GodSpeed63

Too bad accepting christ into your heart doesn't give you the power to answer a simple question lol

I don't even know why you try to contend with me. It's not a fair contest and you only weaken your argument in the eyes of any observers.

@Pikachu
Nice bluff, but I've answered your question already and you know it.

@GodSpeed63

Funny how you've always already answered something but you never seem capable of actually showing that answer when challenged.

You're dishonest or self-deluding. Either way, you need to step up your game, son😁

@Pikachu Look back on our conversations and you'll find it.

@GodSpeed63

lol who do you think you're fooling, coward? This is why i find you such a pathetic debater.
You do this every time. You're willing to spend hours and days repeating that you've already answered something but you never seem to have the time to just repeat it or even just copy/paste it.

You're either astonishingly lazy or a dishonest coward.
Either way, you're only weakening the case for which you argue so passionately and yet so incompetently.

@Pikachu
Still calling your bluff, my friend.

@GodSpeed63

lol what bluff are you calling? Is that just a thing you say to save face?
Can you actually identify the bluff i am making buy challenging you to actually give me a straight answer? Do you not get that your bluff of pretending to have the answer is being called out?

Of course you do. Hence you're attempts to re-direct the conversation.
Sorry ,tiger. Not letting you squirm away

@Pikachu
No, I'm saying it because it's the truth. You've seen the evidence I gave and now you're trying to save face by rejecting it and pretending I didn't send any.

@GodSpeed63


....so my bluff is asking, challenging, demanding that you repost the evidence which you think disproves my position?
lol what a strange little maze your mind is...
