The remora of JPP
Let me start with two parts.

"Does God exist?" "I don't know."
"Does God not exist?" "I don't know."

"Do you believe that God exists?" "No."
"Do you believe that God doesn't exist?" "No."

Third part to discuss in addition to those two parts.

"Do you believe that God exists?" "No."
"Do you believe that God doesn't exist?" "Yes".

A funny flip side to that one.

"Do you believe that God exists?" "Yes."
"Do you believe that God doesn't exist?" "No."

Discuss them. Give terms for the first two terms and their definitions. Bonus, give two terms for the last two parts and their definitions.

you are wrong if you think atheists do not deny the existence of God.....
 
Wait a minute. I just thought of the fifth part!

"Do you believe that God exists?" "Yes."
"Do you believe that God doesn't exist?". "Yes."

:eek:

Would that person be called an existentialist? Nihilist? What?

Okay. What do you call those people in the second part?

I call people who deny the existence of God atheists.......I call those in your second part imaginary creatures who may or may not exist outside of your mind......I guess that means I am agnostic about your people of the second part......

I guess you're the one of my many imaginary creatures that have no clue if the Bigfoot exist. ;)

Another question for you> Do you believe that Zeus doesn't exist?

I believe Zeus does not exist......I believe Bigfoot does not exist.......I believe you do not exist.....at least not in a cognitive state......
 
This definition has the added virtue of making atheism a direct answer to one of the most important metaphysical questions in philosophy of religion, namely, “Is there a God?” There are only two possible direct answers to this question: “yes”, which is theism, and “no”, which is atheism. Answers like “I don’t know”, “no one knows”, “I don’t care”, “an affirmative answer has never been established”, or “the question is meaningless” are not direct answers to this question.

Some people believe in their versions of god/gods.
Some people have no belief in said versions of god/gods.
Some people do not believe any /all kinds of god/gods or anything supernatural.
Some people just do not give a single fuck.

And some people say shit just for reaction...like you have in this thread.

What is trolling again?

I ask because you seemed so concerned about it just a few weeks ago. Remember? I do.

Why do you think I was concerned about that about you? I don't recall telling you that I think you was a troll.
