Atheism

Would you set out all the “evidence and reality” you have for your assertion: “I do not have a soul.”

Me…I do not have any idea if I have a soul…or if there is an afterlife…or if I come back to this life…or anything else about after death.

Frank I see you are still using the militant agnostic approach. "I do not know and you do not know either"

Good one, Frank. That one was worth a smile.

That you see that Frank is still using the militant agnostic approach is not a satisfactory, or grown up, answer to his question.

And your use of the word "militant" is devious and deceitful.

"Speaking out" is the sine qua non of militancy.

Frank only posts what he thinks about these matters. As far as I can remember he brings no extraneous "evidence" to back up what he says about his agnosticism which is, of course, irrefutable in an intellectual space devoid of any practical affairs, which are the sole concern of Christian theology.

Practical affairs ought also to be the sole concern of atheists. I recognise that my atheism is a faith like I recognise that my belief that snow is white is a faith when I know it is nothing of the sort. It is not a faith that a snowfield makes my eye muscles behave in a different way than when exposed to a water-meadow.

That atheists are unable, for whatever reason, to address practical affairs is proof that they are not serious. Agnostics have the same problem.

On A2K I mean. Mao and Lenin and Marx did not allow themselves a similar indulgence. They would have considered doing so to be akin to a posh buffet degenerating into a cream-cake slapstick orgy such as the one Prisoner in Cell Block H depicted so wonderfully when Doreen and her friend were placed in charge of setting out the tables for the visit of the State Governor to the prison which were to be set upon by masticating molars after the cells had been inspected and which were in first-class pristine condition for the occasion.

"Militant Atheist" is the new catch phrase they use to slap an atheist down.

Funny, innit? A couple thousand years of religious wars, crusades, genocides, witch burnings, ethnic cleansings, terrorist attacks, blah blah, and they're stamping their little feet when we simply speak up. I wonder if any atheist/agnostic has even ever started a fistfight trying to convert a believer. None I know of.

I can do the "free unwashed receptive and unhinged, pure clean mind" trick. It's actually quite easy which is its main attraction.

I would get banned from A2K if I were to chance my finger in that direction. And polite company.

That you lot are not banned from A2K is scientific evidence that you only talk about "free unwashed receptive and unhinged, pure clean minds" and "critical reasoning" and other mush of a similar ilk as a misguided and somewhat devious claim to fame. You never actually engage with either. Which is a bit wimpy.

They are mantras. Pat yourselves on the back mantras. Worthless.
