The Difference in Atheists and Believers...

Really? Which Madrassa did you attend to learn Islam? How much Arabic do you speak?

Did you learn Koine or Modern Greek in order to study Zeus?

None of that is necessary in order to find the truth...truth proves all other false...don'tchaknow? There can be only ONE truth...

And that truth involves apologetics for a being that says slave owning is okay and tells his followers to murder children?

Someone who takes an extra step that is not not needed. You either believe in gods or not. If you don't, it doesn't require a belief.

Atheists. We call them atheists.

No, it involves discernment/insight along with the main thing, Jehovah's holy spirit...

And let me guess, if another religion doesn’t have a “Holy Spirit”, you just assume from the outset that it’s false, correct?

Atheists reject the belief in God. That is a rejection, not a belief. It's saying "I refuse to believe".

Some atheist claim a lack of belief. Some atheists assert a belief that God does not exist.
 
devildavid said:
No, "we" don't. Because there is no part of atheism that involves a belief.

Yeah we do. Honestly, outside of internet message board semantics, most common atheists has likely never considered the difference. Nor should they. It's a childish game of burden shifting.

So, again, you have no category for people who believe that God doesn't exist?

No, we don't, anywhere, anyplace. There is no such belief category.

I know, love and trust my wife. Not a belief.

It most certainly is a belief...unless you follow her around 24/7...you don't know...

No, it sure is not a belief. Not in the sense you are trying to make it. I know and trust her. Do you believe it will rain some day?

Not verifiable empirical evidence. And none that doesn’t come from a 2,000 year old book of mythology.

No it isn’t. Unless you can prove there is no other way for life to exist than via your god. Do you have empirical verifiable evidence of that?

The biggest difference between Christians and Atheists is that Christians are more willing to donate money for what they believe in. Atheists on the other hand are rather cheap when it comes to the promotion of atheism. Please see: https://www.patheos.com/blogs/thedi...one-big-difference-in-atheists-and-chritians/

of course, one thing that is not taken into account, is that part of the charity is 'tithing', and a lot of the funds that is given in tithing is doing things like maintaining the church, and providing services from the church that they directly benefit from. In other words, they give to themselves, and call it charity. Even though they call that tithing charity, they directly benefit from it, by partaking in the benefits of what that money pays for. As such, that isn't really charity

This is the logical fallacy known as 'baiting the question'. It is also known as 'the divine logical fallacy' and is related to the argument from incredulity.

One question that is will not be answered, but will get diversionary tactics behind it is 'how is life evidence of God'?

Cowards then, who are either unable or unwilling to defend their thoughts.

It'd be like me positing a lack of belief that all non-Christian positions are true.

Prove my lack of belief wrong.
