Originally posted by twhiteheadYes, to learn definitively posted comments from present adherents should be accepted objectively as academic information to be processed and assimilated. Would you be of a mind to comment on a few of the most egregious points in the list of 20?
I strongly suggest you learn to listen to actual atheists not former atheists. We don't go around getting our information about theists from former theists.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyNo. All I need say is that it is not an accurate description of atheists in general and almost certainly not an accurate description of the original writer either.

As you have been told many many times - yet you persist in ignoring it - if you want to know how atheists think, then ask them, and listen to their answers - whilst keeping in mind that how one of us thinks is not necessarily representative of other atheists.

17. Insist that Atheists are Good without God.
However, this might also indicate their thinking process.
Originally posted by RJHindsWell obviously some theists might claim atheism is based on logical fallacy, the problem is, that said theists never seem to be able to explain what that logical fallacy is.
4. Live a life of arrogance despite also living a life dependent upon logical fallacy, which is now deeply embedded in the worldview.
13. Claim Atheism is not a religion
This is hardly 'how atheists think'. Its simply an obvious fact.

Originally posted by Grampy Bobbynearly all appear to be nonsense. which begs the question, why post them? they seem to be as relevant as posting a random collection of statements about cheese.
Ythes; I rather doubt that 1. applies generally to those atheists who contribute to this forum. Your turn.

Atheist will not accept any explantion that their Atheism is based on a logical fallacy.
Originally posted by RJHindsIf you think it is a religion, then say so and explain why you think it is. Maybe you are just playing your age old game of coming up with your own definitions for words as an excuse for talking nonsense.

They certainly won't if no such explanations are forth coming.
Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI can't see ow any of them are valid. Many are descriptions of what someone might do but not of how they might think. and even those do not describe atheists.

The only way to describe how atheists think is to say that they do not believe in a god.
Can you point to evidence of how any[/] atheist on this board conforms to [i]any of those 20 descriptions?

Originally posted by twhiteheadI think atheism is a religious belief just like evilution.

Most atheists say they believe atheism is based on the facts. However, the logical fallacy with that is they do not know all the facts.
Well then, what do you think Atheism is based on?
Originally posted by PenguinI believe all atheists think in a materialistic way and exclude miracles from God and the spiritual as fairy tales and imaginations from the brain.
