Aren't babies born atheist? [Spirituality & Religion]

They do by definition

@UnparalleledMonster: they should edit the definition then..

@Traubi:

Why? Should the meaning of words be changed because you don't agree with them?

@UnparalleledMonster: no,but im against categorization as a whole..you think im going to change my mind because you wrote a post?

@Traubi:

If you're against categorization as a whole then why have you chosen to use the category label "male" in your SW profile?
I assume also that you don't categorize yourself as belonging to any religion, race or nationality.

But at any rate, the meaning of a word does not change because you don't like it

@UnparalleledMonster: here's the thing...people don't care bro..you bring this up from time to time since EP,hoping for arguments..I joined the atheist group on EP only to realize what a bunch of idiots they were..being an atheist is a conscious choice you make in my opinion.Babies are unable to do that. The parents have the right,do raise an atheist or a full blown christian..either way,it's nobodies business.

@Traubi:

hmm, dodged that question pretty blatantly. I guess it's safe to assume you're NOT against categorization as a whole then.

You're welcome to your opinion. It's just not factually relevant.
And here's the thing, bro. YOU care or you wouldn't be making repeated posts.

If you don't want to debate then don't debate.

@UnparalleledMonster: my opinion is that babies are not atheists..thats all..Believing that nothing exists is just as stupid as believing that God exists.

@Traubi:

lol And just who is talking about a belief that "nothing exists"?

so what do you think exists?

@Traubi:

Not god, not werewolves, not bigfoot.
Plenty of other things exist though.
Odd question

@UnparalleledMonster: I believe in science man..the energy field that they can now measure.I went down that road because science always provides proof.see if one day science finally discovers the complete truth,which is not going to be a bearded man in the sky of course..you can call that,god,energy field,a black hole sparked all of it as a side effect or you can call it a kitchen cabinet.. it will not make a difference. Because that something exists with proof.You can call it the creator,since that's what it is.you can fit that into the definition of god. That's why I think atheism As a word or (dis)believe is completely useless.

@Traubi:
You think the aspect of the definition as described as "lack of belief" is useless because one day science might prove the existence of something that is the creator?

@UnparalleledMonster: exactly.it does exists,or we wouldn't be here.
