Question
Hi Ken,
Could you please answer me the following question:
With regards to theism, what do I (Lindum) believe?
If you cannot answer this, please state why.
If you can answer this, please state how.
Concise answers in your own words are preferable.
Cheers.
PS: for bonus points you can tell me what my favourite colour is.

Yeah, but rephrasing "Ken, you're an asshat.", doesn't take too much thought.

Hi Ken,

I thought I was too assertive in our last exchange. I could have been more diplomatic. I apologize.
No problem, Ken, don’t worry about it.
Sadly, however, you failed to answer my question directly; studies etc., are not relevant to my beliefs since I was not a participant. Failure to present a witness more expert than my own pertaining to my (Lindum’s) beliefs, leaves me with no further option than to believe myself regarding my own beliefs. Unless you can present something beyond this, I am content in my atheism.
Cheers.

Hi, Ken.

I think you need to scroll back in this thread and see some recent post.
Could you indicate a pertinent post for me? Thanks.
Ken writes:
You have not given the quality of evidence to show the world you are content with what you alledge. The consistency issue is still relevant.
I’ve no need to convince the world, my beliefs only concern myself. My lack of belief in god/s (a-theism) is unaffected, and I remain content with this. Still no superior witness to my (Lindum's) own beliefs than myself?
Ken writes:
I also think you should read the ex professed atheist book by C.S. Lewis called "Suprised by Joy". To my knowledge there are no professed atheist holidays!
I am not C.S. Lewis; I have my own view of the world. Public holidays are of no relevance to my beliefs. I remain an atheist, and content at that.
Cheers.

Re: Ken just can't believe people don't believe
Hi Ken,

I believe the professed atheist would do better if they reviewed the social science literature.
I'll leave that to the "professed atheists", then; I am a a real life atheist so won't bother .
Ken, you seem to have become an "a- atheist -ist". Are there any martyrs to this cause?
Cheers.
