When I found I couldn't define the difference between religion and superstition or god and santa claus, I gave up. Its all silly twaddle in any case.

@redredred I can. What you seem to believe is superstition. What I believe is science. Actual evidence is all on the side of there being a Creator. Only silly people think that things exist for no reason.

@hippyjoe1955 Thats not a definition thats a random set of assertions you wish were true.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@redredred No. It is true. Atheists are into superstition without any basis in fact. They can't even find any evidence in support of their theories.

@hippyjoe1955 Given your self-claimed competence in matters scientific, this should be an interesting discussion

@newjaninev2 They call you Cleopatra 'cause you're the queen of denial. BTW I haven't read anything of what you posted today. I will do the same tomorrow if you post.

@hippyjoe1955 While you’re casting about trying to find your balls (hint: they’re those tiny things hanging on some woman’s wall), perhaps it will save you a lot of trouble to learn that atheists [i]don’t have[/i] Theories
Scientists have Theories

In fact, 'atheism' is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a 'non-astrologer' or a 'non-alchemist'. We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.

Quoting Sam Harris. We are scraping the barrel now aren’t we? 😊@newjaninev2

@Speedyman Yet I note that you don’t actually address what Harris said
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@redredred Including your religion aka atheism.

@hippyjoe1955 Atheism is a non-belief, it requires no faith, claims no miracles, has no devils or saints and doesnt require anything of anyone. It simply states that the case for a god hypothesis is completely lacking in logical support.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@redredred I used to be an atheist. I didn't have enough faith to remain one. Atheism is a religion.

@hippyjoe1955 Atheism is not a religion. A religion is a set of beliefs and morals bound together by a common philosophy. There's no "philosophy of atheism". That doesn't exist.
