musKeeto: This is actually why I like you (no homo).....never angry and not a hardcore atheist.....unlike me. musKeeto: So you even raised up the dubious level and went even more dubious? EH? Stop using that fake dictionary from India- a·the·ist (th-st) n. One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/atheist Atheism is a disbelief in God. Can one truly say that bigfoot doesnt exist? No....What atheist say is that it is very (extremely) unlikely that God exist, just like big foot. Throw away your dubious wikipedia and dictionary As for Yahweh, he doesnt exist because he is a self-refuting contradiction. That is provable with logic. So me and other hardcore atheists (strong atheists) take psalm 14;1 personally. Other gods, I remain in disbelief. musKeeto: Shut up. Thanks for the dubious strawman I never said that christians cant engage in freethinking. The christians can't just be freethinkers. They cant be labelled as such. Here is a previous quote Logicboy03: musKeeto: Review my previous quote above musKeeto: I am missing the point. Whatever sha, logic is a great tool. musKeeto: Falling off the earth would only be logical if the world was flat. However, the earth being flat was illogical, considering that people had canoes and ships thousands of years before they accepted that it was round musKeeto: Popping it now |

striktlymi: Dogmatic atheism is impossible But you're too foolish to realise that. |

Kay 17: The quintessential freethinker is in the mould of Socrates, the only man to know he is ignorant. The freethinker is consciously in search of the truth, he is willing to forsake all traditional "truth" even ethics. He is unbound by all authorities except Reason. Proud to be almost a freethinker...lmao |

Logicboy03: LWKMD!!! Now brethren can you open your Definition of DOGMATIC 1: characterized by or given to the expression of opinions very strongly or positively as if they were facts <a dogmatic critic> http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dogmatic Read that LB and apply to yourself... |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 12:39pm On May 09, 2013 |
striktlymi: Is atheism an opinion? hmm Let's use a simple example; Is there anything like a dogmatic disbelief in the toothfairy? Does that make sense to you? |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 12:41pm On May 09, 2013 |
Logicboy03: When an Atheist says there is no God...that is definitely an opinion that is not based on facts. Or are you trying to tell us that Atheists don't have opinions? You sir are a dogmatic Atheist! |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 12:43pm On May 09, 2013 |
Logicboy03: ...and you should learn the difference between the phrases 'dogmatic atheist' and 'dogmatic atheism'... I used dogmatic Atheist in the event that you have not noticed... |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 12:44pm On May 09, 2013 |
Logicboy03:Lol. Crase man. Logicboy03:Stop using a free dictionary. They didn't have time to compile the different meanings of the word. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/atheism Logicboy03:There's something called STRONG ATHEISM.. right? Logicboy03:Lol. Logicboy03:But the PSALM is for those who say 'there's no God'... Logicboy03:Does that include Allah? Chukwu? Obatala? Logicboy03:Alright. Clarification noted. I don't agree but how man go do? By that analogy, one can say I'm a Christian but not religious... Logicboy03:No one's denying that. It brought us bombs and drones. Logicboy03:Yawn.. Just give up... Their logic was built on the perception that the world was flat.. It was sound logic, but wrong nonetheless. Logicboy03: |

striktlymi: Atheists having opinions is not = atheism being an opinion Disbelief in god = atheism = not an opinion Atheism is a disbelief in God.....just as a dibelief in the toothfairy is not an opinion but how reality should be. A logical stance- not believing in things that have Zero evidence |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 12:45pm On May 09, 2013 |
Logicboy03: @Bold: turning white to black and making people believe it... Nice trick... |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 12:47pm On May 09, 2013 |
Logicboy03: Are you for real? You still have not noticed that you are calling white black? Who talked about Atheism if not you? |

Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 1:38pm On May 09, 2013 |
truthislight:Lol, you must confuse us for Ihedinobi and Frosbel.. Note that we don't say either of us isn't a TRUE atheist because of the difference in opinions. You Christians should learn from that |

Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by truthislight: 1:48pm On May 09, 2013 |
Kay 17: What of an individual subscribing after due scrutiny to a religious dogma as his personal belief?? illogicalboy will say at that point he was not "free"thinking. He must be the one pushing information into everyones brain. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by truthislight: 1:51pm On May 09, 2013 |
striktlymi: the guy is a west of time. He will not answer any questions but wishes to push his views on others. Very boring. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 2:07pm On May 09, 2013 |
truthislight: Guy.....what did I do to vex you? Eh? |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by truthislight: 2:13pm On May 09, 2013 |
musKeeto: I wont call you daft, but then, the way Logicboy communicates with you leaves out much to be desired. Logicboy03: @muskeeto ^ etc. Maybe you dont deserved more for airing your views. I just wander. "Atheist fellowship" then >>> cat and dog. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 2:15pm On May 09, 2013 |
truthislight:Take heart, my dear.. I understand the way you, alexleo and a host of other Christians feel. There's a reason Jesus sent the Comforter.. It's well.. one day, Christians will silence the atheists in this section.. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by truthislight: 2:21pm On May 09, 2013 |
Logicboy03: I want you to always cool down and "think" befor giving answers to questions so that it will be convincing an argument. Not just your personal opinion. Peace. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by truthislight: 2:35pm On May 09, 2013 |
musKeeto: You have been here for this long in this section and yet you dont understand me? But for the seemingly obvious consequence of being an atheist, i hate the deceit of the so call religion/religious. Speaking against this ills and lies is not my issue of complaint but rather a dishonesty of heart It is also this religious lies that had turned some to atheist at the first place, as such, speaking against this deceit in religion is not my problem. I dont think i and alexo want the same things. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Nobody: 2:50pm On May 09, 2013 |
truthislight: Lol!!! |

Kay 17:By this what you are suggesting is that a religious freethinker cannot see reason to trust, but reasons after trusting. Thus, his reason is shaped by his trust for the entity in question. One thing you need to understand is that freethinkers are not born, it(freethinking) is more like a dimension of understanding which negates whatever restriction liable to induce a distorted appreciation of a subject. A stage of awareness that carries no bias for one's belief system. Anybody can first trust and later rethink involve in 'freethinking' to ascertain the truism of whatever he/she holds. As long as this be the case, that is, our thinking not restricted by a certain bias but moulded by an understanding of it, then we lay claim to freethinking. |
Re: What Is Being A "Free Thinker?" by Kay17: 2:16pm On May 10, 2013 |
Reyginus: By this what you are suggesting is that a religious freethinker cannot see reason to trust, but reasons after trusting. Such premature trust could serve as a bias |
