Why do you think I am being dramatic? Good, neither am I I was only looking at it from a different perspective. You can see that no one needs to defend a belief unless they want to. The fact that we need to start using dictionaries says that this discussion is kinda mute.

As the algorithmic mathematical advancements in brainwave analysis increase due to computational limitations disappearing, there are many opportunities on the horizon for cheap diagnostic tools for the masses to become available. Schizophrenia has long been seen as a condition where people...

I thought of the difference between an INFP and ISFP today, the first has emotions that lead to ideas (whereas ENFP gets ideas from the environment that triggers emotions), and the second has emotions that draw into themselves the need to attach to nearby stimulus (Whereas the ESFP gets...

Psychological stress may be different from physical stress. As in the article, cortisol did not increase but cognitive decline happened. This indicates that emotions are more prevalent in stress regarding other activities. In the sense that these subjects were doing a casual activity, the...

A man was in a pit and came up out of it to a stadium with lions. He got on his knees and grasped his hand together head to the ground. People in the stadium started to throw gold jewelry into the stadium center. Everyone rushed into the stadium. The man was not eaten.

In the USA we have the freedom to believe things because the rules of the constitution say the government cannot force you to believe things as we have the 1st amendment. So when it comes to what is true or not, it matters that people have the right to decide for themselves. Only when people...

The oscillations that create brainwaves form assemblies of neuronal activation where processes are assigned to regions and those regions recruit other areas in the task at hand. It is the coordination of all the brain together. This is the highest correlation between brain activity and...

I saw a commercial on the PlayStation four tv channel at my sister's apartment. It blew my mind how complex those animations were. Those people who came up with 3D rendering engines in the 80s were amazingly smart. I saw the pictures of what a cray 2 supercomputer could do in the middle school...

most of my day I do not think the bible affects my life rather, I think about it sometimes but I just try to get by because I am poor and have nothing to do all-day sure the bible is important but life goes on

As I have gone through many images of such female and male MBTI renditions I have noticed a pattern. First, the female INTP is seen as a nerd but in several nerd girl images, I can tell these girls have either very male or female-type energy. An example is In Dragon Maid where Miss Kobayashi is...

I always assumed a black 20-year-old ENTP because of the pirate dreadlocks. You said you are 26 and I am 36 - I have seen many, many debates about religion. They were the thing for most youtube people to watch 2008 to 2016 I was not part of video debates but only on forums I talked about it...

You perfectly well know what the concept of God is so you'd be a fool to say you have no opinion on it.

You can say that someone is a-sexual because they lack sexual drives. You can say a baby is a-theistic because they lack conceptual reasoning skills. But a baby is not an active disbelieving atheist in the same way. Reasoning skills are what matters here. To actively believe or disbelieve...

If I go back to school, I may have money to buy a car. The only job I had, was 12 hours a day Tuesday and Thursday for two years where I woke up at 6 am, got in a cold/hot van for an hour back and forth - and half the time I was not cleaning stuff no-one talked to me as I stood around...

not believing is default atheism(?) when do beliefs arise in children? at age four I remember I felt God's existence

Noah's flood covered all the coasts where ancient temples existed. But it was only a 36-foot rise in sea levels over 900 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holocene_glacial_retreat 10,000 BC - Trailer 3

The cat people told me that the intergalactic federation of light strictly prohibits Klingons from invading Earth under the treaty with the Pleiadians.

I am not sure people with babies often claim: "my baby is an atheist"

I do not demand that atheists explain why they disbelieve because I understand that they (know) what they are so I do not need to believe a baby is an atheist or theist because they don't know

ASDF Movie: Pie flavour

babies are in a quantum state of neither theist or atheist, until they realize they themselves exist can they start to ask if the greater mind exists

Asdf Movie 2 | Are You A Man Or A Mouse

the claim that babies are atheists is what I think is ridiculous babies have no capacity to incorporate the idea that God doesn't exist into their understanding

Because I am not sure extraterrestrial aliens exist yes right the choice to actively disbelieve is what I consider atheism because if atheism was not about actively disbelieving as a free agent, not having beliefs would lead to ridiculous claims such as rocks being atheists. and the...

I think, on this planet, only humans can be considered fully autonomous rational agents. So I would say rocks (actual physical rocks) cannot have the free will to believe stuff. enough to know that there is a higher power who is a person (agent) they would need to have the experience of...

God is a person. You are a person. The shared aspect of God and you is knowing one's own existence. God is a person who knows all existence. And we can say we believe God knows us personally.

Without understanding agency I do not think we can come to any conclusions about what atheism is. Atheist: (I) Disbelieve in theism Theists: (I) Believe in theism Tell me how a non-agent can make choices to believe or not to believe things because I do not think they can.

a can of beans has no agency to be a theist or an atheist

the proposition of theism is false

An atheist is not a baby An atheist is not a can of beans An atheist has the agency to accept or reject theism

because you are not a potato, you are a human being human beings can make conscious rational decisions about what to believe and what not to believe so if you make a decision to believe or not believe in God, then you believe in the truth or falsehood of the proposition

(The density has increased) I was the one who said atheism is a belief because I think that if you disbelieve in God you must understand what the concept of God is. I disbelieve that unicorns exist = I know what a unicorn is AND I can say I doubt them human babies do not have the ability to...

New-age science is often misunderstood. In particular, the reason many people hate witches is because of an anti-female prejudice. This was part of it so to say that during the Enlightenment it was discovered again by the public but was known in private the nature of the earth. If you look...

Conversion is not prescriptive. It can only happen if your heart is touched.

The agency of a person is important. Can atheist beans be converted to theism?

Babies just are is my position. Babies are not theists or atheists but toasters' lack of belief in God makes a toaster an atheist as well. any object person or place lacking any belief in God is an atheist in your view then? I am contrasting this to what @LOGICZOMBIE is saying.

babies are without God? how would that be established?

I think he conceded that the baby question was relevant because he conveniently ignored half of my statements. Babies do not have beliefs in the normal sense, they cannot be atheists.

How can you ask a baby if they are not a theist? babies only understand that mama exists.

do we need an uberman for something? I thought the uberman just is who he/she is above man as man is above ape

Now that I qualify as a theist, I can say that atheism is a belief. @EndogenousRebel is correct that a belief about God not existing is not agnostic. This means if I have a belief that God is or is not then that is not the same as to my ignorance like a baby can't be a vegan or not a vegan...

Theism to me is that there is a mind behind all we see. We might need to clarify what a mind is but generally, it can observe us and all reality and sometimes interact with us. I was raised by my mother to read the bible somewhat and believe a mental force controls things. This feeling has...

Can we say my belief in theism needs qualifiers? My self-identification as a theist comes from my experience of God. I saw the divine light after the moral choice I made to forgive someone. (This was literally light and had a personality to it) In my view divinity is that which cannot be...

Presumably, does this mean I do not need to explain why I am a theist?

I think that I have a spirit. so some part of me is supernatural whereas a non-spirit can't feel anything A source of spirit may exist as the God of all

The difference between Autism and Schizophrenia is sometimes blurry. it may contradict that I am both an autist and a schizo but then we may need more research on the brain? no one who is qualified has ever given me a proper brain scan certainly, experts exist, but where would the line be drawn?

You did not, I was referring to this post:

transfer is what Leibniz called transposition

It may be better than being called a schizophrenic.
