Aww, figured that statement would not last though :)

I'd say that being confined to a naturalistic worldview makes you atheist.

Ya know, I agree with you on that. I fully admit I stick to the natural evidenced world and our best understanding of the natural world when I make decisions about the natural world. This has served me very well. This skill also has allowed you to live as long as you have. You are in it to, but as you say, you don't "limit" yourself to just the natural world when making decisions within it. I seen a lot of people get hurt by accepting things in the natural world without evidence. The basis of every con relies on this. If you kept your supernatural god idea strictly in the supernatural I would have zero problems with your belief, heck it may even be fun to sit their and hypothesize on all the possibilities of your supernatural idea. But as soon as you start to organize your life in anyway around this supernatural idea you have brought it to the natural reality we live in. Just like we cant have someone imagine they have a god that commands them to kill and maim as many people as possible in whatever way possible, we need to keep the supernatural ideas separate from reality, the natural, the evidenced, or these ideas can get very dangerous very quickly with real world negative consequences.

JazzTheist (The Liar): "The level of education or intelligence says virtually nothing about the validity of either side; otherwise it would be a subtle ad hominem fallacy ("God doesn't exist because religious people are dumber on average")."

Yes. Edcuation level actually says a lot. The more educated a person is, the more likely they will become atheist. The less educated a person, the more likely they will be religious. This is true throughout the entirety of the Earth. And it is NOT an ad hominem fallacy. That is a lie you have created in a miserably failed attempt to debunk a true fact.

FACTS — Formulated Accurately Codified Truth in Science. FAITH — Falsehoods Assumptions Innuendos Treachery and Hogwash.

"God doesn't exist because religious people are dumber on average." Nothing subtle due to the truth of this statement YOU made.

JazzTheist (The Liar): "I propose that the reason why more educated people become atheists is likely because of ego."

And this coming from a Religious Absolutist. Religious Absolutist have proven to be the most narcississtic persons in all of humanity. Atheists become atheists due to knowledge, critical thinking, logical and deductive reasoning, and rational and analytical thought. Something no Religious Absolutist possesses. Well, the only knowledge they may have is small cherry-pick smattering of an obsolete, irrelevant, barbaric, savage, offensive, and unsubstantiated, immoral Bronze Age religious text. Remember what I wrote in another post?

Scientist/Atheists read many books and feel they still have a lot to learn.
Religious Absolutists barely read one book and feel they know everything.

JazzTheist (The Liar): "The joy of being smarter than everyone around keeps them from considering a higher power."

It is actually knowledge, critical thinking, logical and deductive reasoning, and rational and analytical thought that makes atheists what they are. The ONLY definition for atheist: "The lack of belief in any god." There is no other definition. You Religious Absolutists make prepoesterous and outlandish claims and all we atheists are saying, "I do not believe you. Where is the evidence?" And you Religious Absolutists have been in a hellish tizzy ever since.

And here is a quote from Ricky Gervais: “Tell me the reason why you do not believe in all the other gods that have existed, and you have just answered your question as to why I do not believe in your god.”

JazzTheist (The Liar): "I'm nowhere saying that "God exists because atheists have ego"; I'm just offering an alternative explanation for why many educated people are atheists."

Yes you are. You just said such. This is nothing more than a preposterous and outlandish opinion. Inadmissible as evidence.

JazzTheist (The Liar): "

Arakish (The Soul Haunter): "Undeniable proof that theist are of lower intelligence. They look to some other imaginary friend to do the thinking for them."

Circular reasoning and begging the question. You're basically saying that "theists are dumb because they have an imaginary friend (begging the question); and the reason why they have an imaginary friend is because they're dumb.""

Not circular at all. You were the one who said as much, not me.

======================================================================

You said you were a life-long atheist then became a Religious Absolutist. Well, let me tell you a story.

When I was only 3y old, me mom caught me reading the labels on the cereal boxes. She then used the Bible to help teach me how to read. Only one problem. Even at that age, I saw the Bible as being as ridiculous as Mother Goose fairy tales. When I was 5y old, me mom gave me the novel Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke with a note attached. I was to read the novel and write a 5 page report. What kind of mother tortures her child thusly? Bascially, she wanted to prepare me for First Grade (there was Kindergarten back then). Two months later, guess what premiered on TV. Star Trek: The Original Series. With just those two things, I was forever hooked on science and science fiction. And since I was forced to attend churh with me mom, it was my greatest hero, Mr. Spock, who kept me firmly grounded and prevented me from being brainwashed by religion. Star Trek ended in 1969. However, just two months later, the greatest achievement by the human species also occurred. Neil Armstrong did his Small Step Giant Leap just six days after my 8th birthday. Never was religion ever going to get their vicious claws into me. However, due to the horrible evil I suffered at the hands of religion, I was forced to pretend that I had gotten saved, just to keep religion from continuing to abuse me through the methods physical AND psychologically terrorism. It was not until I joined the US Navy that I was able to come out of the closet and claim that I was ALWAYS and atheist, and always shall be.

Here is one form of psychological terrorism employed by religion. The absurdity of Original Sin. To convince children that they are born evil/sinful is unconscionable (not guided by conscience; unscrupulous; not in accordance with what is just or reasonable). What kind of immoral monster is going to tell their children that they are born evil/sinful, born of evil/sin, born into evil/sin, born from evil/sin and must have an imaginative Sky Faerie and Magic Lich Virgin to save them? You stupid, idiotic, and retarded Religious Absolutists have it so damned backwards. Evil and sin had not one damned thing to do with it. Children are always born from love (well, 90% at least). I for one, always told my daughters they came about from the absolute love my wife and I had for each other because we were SoulMates. Literally ONE soul, ONE heart. It was an Act Of Pure True Love between SoulMates that created my daughters. NEVER that bullshit diarrhea you Religious Absolutists fucktards spew.

Even my daughters said as much when we let them go to church to “find the answers for themselves.” They said the main reason was how you Religious Absolutists taught them how they came into this world. They said it was despicable of you to say they came into this world due to a sinful and evil act instead of the True Truth. Something no Religious Absolutist is capable of speaking. Not a damned one of you.

And here is a quote one of you fucktard Religious Absolutists said to me. This guy is in his 70s, has a PhD in something religious, and is the Pastor at me mom’s current church.

Fucktard Religious Absolutist: “You should be ashamed of yourself for not raising your daughters in the Word of God. You should be ashamed for never taking them to church to teach them to be proper Christians. It is no wonder you lost them all. You lost your entire family as payment for not raising your children correctly.”

It takes a special kind of stupid to be a Religious Absolutist.

You claimed that logic and critical thinking made you an atheist. Ironically, you spent the whole last chapter demonstrating a profound lack of understanding of theology. Bad theology was what made you an atheist. YOU, Sir, are the liar. I don't even need to mention that you sound extremely illogical.

I'm not lying. When I was an atheist I genuinely thought everyone on this site were good people.

And yet for the past few days, I've seen the some of most horrible, toxic, hostile, sadistic, shameful human beings I could ever imagine.

Thanks for making me lose faith in humanity, which only makes me have more faith in God. Good job atheists :)

A gander at your profile
A-KUAN SHIAO 35 replies.

Don't remember an A-KUAN SHIAO. Been here off and on again for over 2 years. How long ago were you posting here stating you were an atheist?

You lost faith in humanity debating your now theist point of view on an atheist debate board? Really? Did you really expect anything less? If I were to go debate on a theist board my point of view, would I expect a warm loving welcoming embrace that would bolster my faith in humanity?

Seems like it is frighteningly easy for you to lose faith in humanity. Did you have much to begin with? Does it worry you how easily you lose faith in humanity that you might easily lose the same "faith" you have in your god idea? I would be if some anonymous debate board on the net that holds a different view then I do makes me lose faith in anything so easily.

Also under your current name you are at 150 replies and counting. To a mere 35 for the entire time you state you were atheist. Does not seem like you were nearly as much of a convinced vocal atheist, as compared to now theist. Are we supposed to be impressed that you state you were one atheist, compared to how much more vocally theist you are now?

Nope. NOT bad theology. All theology is bad when one applies critical thinking, logical and deductive reasoning, and rational and analytical thought. No lying needed. The whole premise of religion is to pervert, demoralize, subvert, and bribe all persons with the belief that it possesses the one and only truth. And, the worst part of ANY religion is that it is an ideology that is implicitly and explicitly protected from any and all criticism from both within and without. Why should any ideology, especially religion, be so privileged? Can you not see how disastrous this way of thinking can be, and is?

And you're only resorting to insults

Where?

I guess you never read this in another post I made. Won't include the whole thing, just the most relevant part.

I know religion is, and has always been, tremendously harmful to Humanity. I know that religions, and their way of thinking, and their theological disagreements, have created the greatest violence, destruction, injury, death, bigotry, harm, immorality, intolerance, wickedness, and abuse to the human species than any other cause. The main problem is not religious fundamentalism, but the fundamentals of religion. Religion’s loose version of “morality,” has NO place in a civilized society.

Sure. You can argue that it is the extremists, not the doctrine. All this says to me is that you have never truly read the various doctrines. It is both. Extremists might be using it as an excuse, but it is an excuse that the religious texts readily provide. I firmly believe, and shall take this belief to my grave, that the human species would have been much better off had there NEVER been ANY form of religion.

I see NO evidence of ANY gods, but plenty of evidence of religion’s harm.

And I am a lot more concerned with the welfare of my fellow human beings than I am about “offending” or “hurting the feelings” of people who choose to believe in the faerie tales of an obsolete, irrelevant, barbaric, savage, offensive, and unsubstantiated, immoral Bronze Age religious text about an imaginative Sky Faerie and Magic Zombie Virgin.

Offended? So the fuck what!

Ultimately, it is Religion that is Humankind’s worst enemy.

Ans when it comes to ANY AND ALL religion...

I publicly argue passionately against any religion.
I publicly question any religion.
I publicly laugh at any religion.
I publicly shame any religion.
I publicly resist any religion.
I publicly defile any religion.

Why? Because religion defiles what it means to be HUMAN.

Oh my God, those wicked atheists and their erroneous assumptions. Obviously they did not watch my chimp video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXP8qeFF6A "Stupid Atheists" A chimpanzee can out perform them on tasks of memory.

Yes, Theists recognize the sins of mankind, that's why 90% of prison populations are theist. Of course they recognize the sins. They are the ones doing them. Good Point. You really put those filthy sinners in their places.

JazzTheist searches the internet for a non-naturalistic world view. I think that's just great. We are still waiting for some definitions regarding these world views. What is spiritual? What is supernatural? What is this god thing you speak of? What evidence do you have that anything at all you have said is valid? WE ARE STILL WAITING?

Yes, the theists will gain control of the laws of the land and witch burning will begin again. You will be King of the USA . You will really show those atheists some day. Umm When the rapture comes. Until then, we honestly and truly plan on calling you out on your BS and treating you accordingly. You will have your day when the Rapture comes. Until then..... well...... kick rocks.

Looking through a telescope

Looking through a telescope and reading/watching the works of Carl Sagan led me down the path of atheism.

Ironically, Carl Sagan wasn't an atheist and he'd be disappointed at this.

I bet that you will become a theist by looking through the telescope even more.

Firstly, She not He.

Firstly, She not He.
Secondly, Demonstrate where I said Sagan was an atheist.
And finally, I will ask again. If person A influences person B to become vegetarian, does that make person A vegetarian?

For the record, I stated he was an influence on my personal journey to atheism.

Furthermore, Sagan was more in line with being agnostic.

JazzTheist's picture
And Sagan explicitly stated

And Sagan explicitly stated that atheism is a disbelief in God--that is, believing that God doesn't exist--whereas atheists claim themselves to be ''not convinced in the existence of any gods (which is sort of an equivocation fallacy to begin with)''.

I just find it somewhat perplexing that an atheist finds someone who disagrees with atheism on a fundamental level to be her guru.

TheBlindWatchmaker's picture
Atheism is simply a person

Atheism is simply a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods.
That echoes what Sagan has stated and echoes what many atheists think.

Look at your interactions here, everyone asks for proofs, evidence and so on.

But for a third time I will ask, If person A influences person B to become vegetarian, does that make person A vegetarian?
This is a very simple logical question.

What Carl Sagan's impact upon myself was, to open my eyes to the wonder and the allure of the cosmos.

That would be because you have made a snap judgement on a person without asking questions nor trying to find out the point being made. Sagan being an idol to me has nothing to do with my atheism in the literally sense, as I clearly stated it led me on a path.

"I just find it somewhat perplexing that an atheist finds someone who disagrees with atheism on a fundamental level to be her guru."

The teaching and actions of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi heavily influenced my growth as a person and I continue to embrace many principles advocated by this great person. But I do not shave my head nor do I wear the same garb.

Some weird little guy with a weird little moustache (I am trying to avoid using Godwin's law) was a socialist. I embrace some socialist viewpoints, but I do not advocate a "final solution".

Thank you, a bit of humility goes a long way.

In regards to the way you have been addressed, perhaps it may be mix of not only your forward approach (which I do not particularly mind, but others may), but more likely due to your like minded colleagues who frequent these pages.

Most make awful claims and straw man atheists in their opening comments, fail to answer any questions which is odd given this is a debate forum and seem to be obnoxious as well as rude.

This has been met more recently with a similar approach from atheists.

That is what I find the most annoying about new theists here. Most fit the following criteria: They make outlandish claims and comments that we are just supposed to accept without contest, in addition to constantly changing the subject and almost never ever answering our questions.

It gets irritating talking to people whose only goal is to circumvent logic.

JazzTheist: "And he was also

JazzTheist: "And he was also an agnostic who disagrees with atheism on a fundamental level."

Partially correct, but ultimately wrong. Carl Sagan only disagreed with the "hard atheist" viewpoint (as am I by the way) of the statement, "There is no god." What Carl Sagan said in one of his shows was that all scientific evidence points to the "improbability" of any god existing. That is my view point. More later.

I am also agnostic due to the fact that there are some things "I do not know." Remember the true definition of agnostic is "lack of knowledge." When someone lacks knowledge, they do not know. However, unlike Religious Absolutists like you, I do not suffer from the horrible disease known as "goddidititis." Truly horrible disease.

Now back to my atheism view point. I am like Carl Sagan, whom I grew up watching as a yungun, in stating that there shall always be a probability that a deity MAY exist.

Another idiotic post from our

Another idiotic post from our friend JazzyTheTheist - "And he was also an agnostic who disagrees with atheism"

Obviously no understanding at all what the terms Agnostic or Atheist mean. (But he use to be an atheist.) BS!!!!!

Jazz - You might have well have said, "He was also a banana who disagreed with airplanes on a fundamental level. " Do you even care that your posts make you sound like you have never read a book in your life. Agnosticism is about KNOWLEDGE. Frankly speaking, everyone is agnostic. I have never found anyone with an knowledge at all about God or gods. We are still waiting for you to prove me wrong with some sort of fact or evidence. Atheism is about 'BELIEF." Knowledge is a subset of belief. What we generally mean by knowledge is "JUSTIFIED TRUE BELIEF." Given this definition, there is no reason what so ever to believe in a God or gods. There has been nothing at all given to us that qualifies as "Knowledge of God or gods." Nothing! Therefore, we are all agnostics. At least we are all agnostics until you can provide us with that evidence you seem to be holding back.
