Coming into a thread on atheism with your own made up definition is like a christian going into a christian thread, arguing how it's right, and then two posts later saying

But go ahead and give me your definition, I'm a couple'a ears.
YOU are the one with the "made-up" definition, and you still have not told us who uttered the aforementioned quote. I spent about 30 minutes compiling a list of Atheist works, spanning hundreds of years, that are online. There are many good explanations in those books.

You cannot accept, or deny, an idea like Atheism (and it IS an "idea") with a just few lines. Reigion is also an "idea" - and probably the WORST one ever imagined by the human race.

It's late, and I could do better, but MY "one-line definition" of Atheism right now is:
Without theism.

That's it. Anything that is written by men claiming to have "special" knowledge of the "supernatural" is BULLSHIT! This includes the bible, koran, and all docrines of theology-based movements. It's all a gigantic fraud.

If this is not enough, and you are perfectly right to say that it isn't, then read some of the experts' opinions and observations that I have listed.

P.S. there are no gods, prophets, "holy" men, angels, devils, saviors, or ghosts. Anybody that claims that these entities exist is either stupid, insane, a liar, or all three.
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . My qualms with atheism. Here is what I've been thinking: We only know what we have observed. For example, we wouldn't know 2+2=4 unless at one point someone took two seperate piles of apples, 2 in each pile, and shoved them together to see there was now a pile of 4 apples. This is what originally turned me off to religion. It is unobserved and can easily be created by a good mind. Also, the fact that religion comforts so many people made it feel somewhat empty to me. Most people will believe anything that Rating: 5
