Idk i think atheism is just as presumptuous and asinine as theism.
Atheists don’t tend to fall down the nationalism - fascism hole quite as frequently, but they can be just as annoying.
I just don’t know what’s wrong with admitting we don’t know. We can’t perceive everything and there is still too much mystery for me to subscribe to anything. That being said, I do not use the promise of an afterlife to live well, I justify that by making happiness my goal, I just can’t say definitively there is nothing going on beyond what we know, spiritually speaking. I don’t think any religion has gotten it right because how could they if we can’t perceive everything?
The vast majority of atheists are agnostic atheists, and “we don’t know” is that in a nutshell. Gnostic atheists who “know” there is no god are rather rare but very loud.
I figured this was the case. The loud ones tend to set the stage, unfortunately. I’d personally just consider myself to be fully agnostic, but I’m sure I share a significant base of beliefs with most agnostic atheists.
if enough people started saying so, would you think theres a chance that shoelaces are sentient even though theres no evidence to support that and all reasonable evidence supports the opposite conclusion? ofc not, so why should i entertain the idea of gods. hmu when you have some evidence.

You are walking, talking evidence of militant atheists being asinine.
I will not be elaborating.
thats not kind
I don’t know you and I have no obligation to be kind to strangers. You’ll live, I’m sure.
just dropping an ad hominem and peacing is a poor way to engage in my opinion. be well.
I’ll give that, I shouldn’t have called you asinine. I will rephrase.
Your behaviour is asinine – and not making me any less annoyed at militant atheists.
im just enjoying lemmy
