How does anyone know someone is an atheist?

I guess people claim the most outrageous things and then conclude that, YES, that other person's comment is my opinion as well.

Nietzsche as far as I''m concerned was not such an amazing authority on WHO truly is an atheist. Take instead Bertarand Russell; wouldn't he conclude that there is an important decision to be made at oil industry; at travelling to other Worlds then. These decisions are foolish in my mind compared to those ones we make for the Regions of ou major concern of livelihood. Maybe we're wrong this way over mankind's main stay of an argument for posterity's sake. Maybe, like Russell may feel, the arguments have a reasonable demand on God's existence for the certainty of knowledge being advised for future generation. what we're wrong about is US in denial.

But we don't truly know everybody in the world on these formidable questions and maybe the doubt for the people is worth it in this day and age after-all.

The marxist theory of propaganda is also of value to Not failing the present moment for our NEED to be PART. The common atheism is bad anyway.

 

maybe , in contemplating god , there's really not much to
think about . whenever i do try i don't think much for
twenty minutes . it's ok .

 

But we're talking common god or godlessness. I guess you are suggesting that every one has his private mode of thinking of a psychological structure for knowledge. So we can sit each in our own Heavens and contemplate that God would be with us if only I could lie about "my workable" epistemology.

Did science drop from heaven for instance? We all study our ostensibly deducable content for a social community, and then we come home to be off the hook by getting free time for the essential character of the human condition breathing life into our souls. So is it that you think much for more than twenty minutes about the soul?

My real question is: is it after-all wrong to have an art - God to believe in as the means to avoiding wars and for the better way of Life? Yes; that's my question of indifferent deeds to perform.

 

I think it's been proven beyond doubt that a belief in a god of any sort does not prevent war and infact often instigates it or is the very driving force behind it.

You seem to be suggesting as a possiblity the idea of hiding the truth from ourselves in order to continue living in a fantasy land for the greater good. Not only would this be a severe hindrance to scientific and intellectual progress, it also wouldn't work. Revealing the truth is a natural human drive. Believers rarely, if ever, believe despite knowing there is probably no god really because they want a nice fluffy life. Belief is just that - a belief. Genuine. What they sincerely think the truth to be, for whatever reasons.

The rest of your posts are difficult to comprehend so I'm unable to address more points.

 

if they yell "oh these bothersome fluctuations in the space-time continuum" when they hit their thumb with a hammer ... they atheist

Oh really? We should rate the speed reading for whether that IS an Atheist or Not. Incidentally, the real revolt of the masses is ... post-modernism. NO, I don't understand that one.

 

Well you may be trolling, but my answer to the one salvageable argument is now there for others to see, which suits me.

How unfair: I can invest in the stock market.

 

If you're not genuinely nuts, you must be incredibly bored.

 

i suggested nothing is known of god by thinking about god . that doesn't mean nothing is known . one just wouldn't know any more than a duck .
