On the other hand, I've got a problem with Atheists who don't regard it as a belief system. Atheism is the belief that God does not exist. It may be impossible to prove that God exists, but it's equally impossible to prove that he doesn't. Claiming otherwise is arrogance.
I should clarify that statement by pointing out that I classify myself as a firm Atheist. It's going to take a long post to explain that in more detail, but it's late here and I'll leave it to tomorrow.

What Oanst said...

I wish I could express my thoughts in a way that people would understand. But here I'll try.
I'm not atheist because I defined myself as such, but because it would be a term applied to me by others. Because its a common term accepted to mean that you don't believe in god.
But I don't not believe in god to cross religion. It has nothing to do with religion. Religion just isn't part of my heart and mind. When I make decisions, religion plays no part of it, and I am not an atheist because I chose to not believe in religion x_x Jesus... I just have no way of explaining this. Like I'm not like: Haha I choose not to believe in god, therefor I'm an atheist.
But saying that atheism is a religious belief just kinda offends me, because I have no interest in religion in terms of beliefs x__x Its non-existant in that regard.
I do enjoy reading about certain religions though. But it's more of a curious standpoint.
You could turn it around and say that religion is an atheistic belief because they choose to believe in god rather than not.... I dunno.
I'm probly not making any sense to any of you.
