Likely. But no one asks for further clarification, so I don't supply it.

You've missed my point entirely.

Okay I stand corrected.

True.

Eh, now it just seems like we have a bunch of trivially specific labels for everything. I like the atheist/theist division. You're either one or the other. If you're not sure, you're an atheist.

Is it really? Well your logic is infallible. You're obviously the epitome of intelligence.

I am convinced that agnosticism is synonymous with atheism. Neither believe in God. Belief in God is an affirmative "action" and for that you must take the "belief in God step", and that makes you a theist. If you have not yet made up your mind (agnostic) then you have not yet taken the...

I disagree entirely. Love is a social construct. Love is arbitrary and ambiguous at best. It was a concept created by man and therefore it only means what we want it to mean. By that logic it is meaningless. I'm skeptical of even the existence of love in itself. Who can truly say that they...

For many this is a difficult position to hold, as it requires disassociating from moral prejudices.

Wrong. Christianity is a set of beliefs. Atheism is a lack of said beliefs. An atheist can follow a separate non-religious dogma if he chooses, but it is not inherent within "atheism". The laws of nature and science are based on observation and have hitherto been consistent. That they are...

I was kidding.

You are arguing that scientific evidence, experimentation, rational observation and overall science, is an equally valid and plausible theory to religion. Which is absurd, because religion is entirely faith based, and by that I mean it has nothing to back up it's claims. So all belief in...

So the world is going to end this year? But fair enough

Sure. But I doubt religion was what pushed their society towards scientific contributions. Rather, they happened to coexist. Correct me if I am wrong though.

When has military intervention solved anything other than protect the United States' foreign investments?

Galileo was persecuted by the religious dogmatism of the time for questioning the claim that the sun revolves around the earth. Belief in God is part of a religious dogma. Dogmatism relies entirely on sacrificing individual thought, and observation of evidence to preserve such a belief. So...
