Are those posted in public? That's brilliant.

Yeah. It was a little controversial in the UK but most people were amused.

Yeah, I have one of the T-shirts it gets people looking.

Bloody wonderful. I don't understand why religious people are 100% sure they are right. Only thing I'm 100% sure of is my demise.

>>967354

Not if I have anything to say about it, bitches.

Richard Dawkins approves of this thread.

that one was taken on a bus here in canada. i'd love/hate to see what would happen if they ended up in the states. religious civil war?

Wow, the Douglas Adams one really hits the nail on the head. All of those are fantastic though.

That's not Atheism.

What, you're supporting these idiots who claim to be Atheists but promote themselves with an Agnostic slogan?

>>968993
Would you consider yourself an "a-leprechaun-ist"? I'm going to assume yes.

You can't conclusively prove that indetectable leprechauns don't exist. But they "probably" don't.

Yet you still lack a belief in leprechauns ("aleprechaunism"), which is sensible.

Atheism is the lack of belief in god/s. Ergo, saying "there's probably no god" is consistent with atheism.

Get it?

I agree this is not atheism. Atheism is saying: there are no Gods (just as clearly as religious people say there is one.)

Agnosticism simply says: I don't know, and we are all too unknowing to lay claim on either the existence or non-existence of deities.

Saying there probably is no God is more of an agnostic point of view.

But then again... who gives a fook

>>969037

exactly. ITT: rebellious teenage retards

"Atheism is saying: there are no Gods"

no it isn't. It's saying "I don't believe in any gods"

>>969041
>no it isn't.
Son, you just went full retard.

>>969037
Did you even read my post at >>969016 ? Dense moron.

Drop your pre-conceived notions that atheism is somehow a religion and comprehend the following:

>Atheism is saying: there are no Gods (just as clearly as religious people say there is one.)

Wrong. Atheism is just a lack of belief in god/s. The same way that you lack a belief in undetectable unicorns - because there is no reason to hold such a belief.

>Agnosticism simply says: I don't know, and we are all too unknowing to lay claim on either the existence or non-existence of deities.

If someone asks you if there is a gigantic robotic tyrannosaurus rex currently orbiting the earth, but undetectable by all human means, do you say “I don’t know, and we are all too unknowing to lay claim on either the existence or non-existence of giant robotic undetectable tyrannosaurus rexes in orbit”.

No, you say “until you provide me with evidence, I lack a belief in gigantic robotic undetectable tyrannosaurus rexes in orbit.

There is equal evidence for the aforementioned claim as there is for deities. Therefore, I lack a belief in deities. Which is what atheism is.

>exactly. ITT: rebellious teenage retards

Nope, just people that apply reason and logic. It’s your problem if it offends your delicate sensibilities.

>>969055

tl;dr

>>969057
Yeah, tl;dr is a common position that people take when they have no argument.

i contend we are both atheists - i just believe in one fewer god than you. when you begin to understand why you dismiss all other possible gods you'll understand why i dismiss yours.

Now I don't want to get involved in some huge debate here. But for those that say 'there is no evidence' of a God.

How do you explain the mathematical order and laws of the universe? Along with the big bang of course. Was the universe created or is our entire existence just random coincidence? (Really...think about that for a second before you answer.)

Scientifically explain human emotion. Not the happy/sad stuff, but the big stuff like love and self sacrifice. There's a lot more to it than hormones.

I don't have all the answers, but it seems to me, if you just look around, there's plenty of evidence of a God.

>>969208
Win.

Obviously a wizard made the universe (maybe you should try thinking for more than a second), spoiler:yes, random chance

Evolution completely explains self-sacrifice (protection of offspring). Oh wait, a wizard put us all here, nm carry on.

You cleary don't have ANY answers and of course it seems like there's lots of evidence of God to you, because you're an idiot

simple answer.....

I am atheist, swear to god

>>966985
this, i'm sorry to say.

>>969208

Are you retarded? First of all, just because you* can't explain those things, doesn't mean that the automatic answer MUST be God. Once upon a time, things like epilepsy, schizophrenia, bi-polar depression could also not be explained by even the brightest minds, so people just assumed it was GOD or THE DEVIL or SPIRITS or some shit. Now we know better (well, most of us).

Second of all, there ARE explanations for all those things. Even animals have been documented displaying those traits you listed, so what? Truth is, we're all so egotistical that we can't BEAR the thought that really, we're all just clever beasts who think the entire universe revolves around our lives, that we're SO special, that it all MUST mean something deep. Surely there MUST be a god, surely there MUST be a reason and point to living. Truth is there is no point other than what you make. But most people are too fucking lazy to figure it out for themsleves, so they go copy-pasta what some asshole behind a pulpit said, or what relgions blabber, so we feel so smart and enlightened and better than everyone else without having put any work into figuring out what we should really do with our lives.

*emphasis on YOU, because scientists / psychologists / sociologists etc. CAN explain it, it's just too boring and long and hard for your tiny brain to understand. Some things can't be compressed into a YouTube or a 4chan comment.

>>969275
oh btw, hardocre Christfag-turned-hardcore atheistfag here, speaking from 100% evidence. Science, reason, and logic saved me where religion was slowly driving me insane and fucking up my life. True story etc.

>>969276
>Science, reason, and logic
You sound like a typical high-schooler who has no clue about any of the above.

Your all so smart denying another's beliefs to satisfy yourself, why do you care what other people choose to believe in?

Awesome, just awesome. Gave me a boner.

The bible is right because I trust it.

Trust me and you will be saved.

Angsty manchildren wasting their only life arguing on the internet about things no one cares about. Congratulations, you're retarded.

A theist is someone who believes in a god or gods.
An atheist is someone who DOESN'T believe in a god or gods.
A gnostic is some who believes that the truth about gods existence can be known (but doesn't necessarily claim to know it).
An agnostic is someone who believes that the truth about gods existence can't be know.

Agnostic theist: "We can't know if god exists or not but I choose to believe in him."
Agnostic atheist: "We can't know if god exists or not but I see no reason to believe in him."

>>969208
I don't see what anything you mentioned has to do with the existence of a god or gods. I have no clue why or how the universe exists, nor why or how it is the way it is. But to say that because it is vast and unknown to us, it must therefore have been created by a deity is just a misstep because it begs the same questions. Where did the god complex enough to create the universe come from?

To say that the universe is too fantastical to simply exist as it does, so it must have been created by a god who by definition must be more complex than the universe is a fallacy.

The universe is literally more vast than we can imagine. I have little doubt that out there are entities which are godlike in proportion to us. That some of them are responsible in some way for the creation or order of the things we understand isn't an impossible assumption, but we have absolutely no way of knowing.

The thought of a specific God of humans such as the Abrahamic one that made humanity in it's image and who specifically micromanages the affairs of a single species on a single planet seems extremely dubious to me.
