Atheism requires as much faith as religion?
If your brain is randomly firing neurons what makes you think you would have the ability percieve anything? Much less your conciousnes? (Saturday May 4 | post #164937)
Why Atheism Will Replace Religion
So I take it you agree with this definition? Maltheism (from "mal" meaning bad, or illness, and theism, from... well, theism) is the idea that God is just out to get us and that he or she or it is malicious, like a kid who keeps removing the pool ladders in The Sims. A Maltheist, therefore, is someone who believes that a god or gods exist, and that they are evil, malicious, incompetent, or otherwise causing the suffering of humanity. In essence, Maltheism is the idea that God exists and is not worthy of worship. (Saturday May 4 | post #10295)

No help there. I don't intend to wade through 90+ pages of questions so I'll take it as meaningless. (Saturday May 4 | post #10293)
You would think an all-knowing god would have thought to have somebody on the scene that could document all that miracle stuff going on. I mean, Jesus was only supposed to be the most important figure in history. I mean really, I write down grocery lists. Just sayin (Saturday May 4 | post #146)
So you could remember word for word what someone told you 30 years ago? (Saturday May 4 | post #140)

I can't find any definition for "altheist ". I guess it could mean a group of Saudi people. Possibly Al atheists? Though I can't imagine that surviving culture would continue there. (Saturday May 4 | post #10289)

How do deal with Athiests & Gay Trolls in a Christian Forum
Same goes for lying with a man. It was intended just for priests. Yeh right. (Saturday May 4 | post #95)
How do deal with Athiests & Gay Trolls in a Christian Forum
Sorry but it doesn't say anything about being a priest here : Deut:22:20 But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 22:21 Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency of people to favor information that confirms their beliefs or hypotheses.[Note 1][1] People display this bias when they gather or remember information selectively, or when they interpret it in a biased way. The effect is stronger for emotionally charged issues and for deeply entrenched beliefs. For example, in reading about gun control, people usually prefer sources that affirm their existing attitudes. They also tend to interpret ambiguous evidence as supporting their existing position. Biased search, interpretation and memory have been invoked to explain attitude polarization (when a disagreement becomes more extreme even though the different parties are exposed to the same evidence), belief perseverance (when beliefs persist after the evidence for them is shown to be false), the irrational primacy effect (a greater reliance on information encountered early in a series) and illusory correlation (when people falsely perceive an association between two events or situations). http://en.wikipedi a.org/wiki/Confirm ation_bias (Saturday May 4 | post #135)
