It's funny
To all you Philosophical types. I am a radical, militant atheist and I don't think that I would ever be tempted to put my male sex organ into the cloaca of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. I don't even have chimney at home . Does that count as a belief or a non-belief?

Re: It's funny
I think I do. It's just that you don't want to answer the question.

I don't speak Russian. It's OK when you don't want to answer questions.

A huge difference. Is the idea that the earth will keep on turning for billions of years and that the earth turns around the sun a belief? If you think that it's a belief you try to drag down facts to the level of unevidenced, ridiculously stupid religion.

Re: It's funny
That's the problem. A lot of religious people conflict the different meanings of the word "belief" and do ridiculously stupid arguments about it. Such as the rotation of the earth is a "belief" and is exactly the same "belief" as "Muhammed flew around on a winged horse". Semantics and sophistry,

Re: It's funny
I agree religion would be around long after I've gone. I'm angry because I was basically raised in a theocracy and I believed it (for that I'm angry at myself, though I was not allowed to question anything).
I call myself a radical, militant atheist just to piss those holier-than-thou religious folks off. They don't have a clue on how to approach me when I call myself that. They basically tend to just run off.
