@finallyLukko @keaitto @denimneverdies Atheism is only the opposite of theism, not religion. Non-theistic religions such as certain schools of Buddhism or Jainism demonstrate that atheism and religious practice can coexist.

@VVolumeWM @Bevmtgl @athiestboi We don't, hence the distinction between religious and irreligious people.

Atheism is the belief that one deity (or more) doesn't exist.

Not to be confused with Egotheism or Autotheism which is the belief in the divinity of oneself or the potential for self-deification.

Reality is stranger than fiction.

@abraves277 @athiestboi Look at my bio. Maybe you'll learn something.

Good night.

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi And because this statement is your personal opinion, an accurate way to formulate it would be: "I think it's very sad. Life without God has no meaning, in my opinion. No wonder so many atheists struggle with finding purpose. At least, that's the impression I get."

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi Then, that means the following statement is not objectively true. It only reflects your personal opinion, based off of your emotions, personal experience and observation:

"Very sad. Life without God has no meaning. No wonder so many atheists struggle with finding purpose."

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi But do you agree?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi So how can both be true?

"Very sad. Life without God has no meaning. No wonder so many atheists struggle with finding purpose."

"How can I speak for other people? I can tell you my truth."

Please, explain this to me.

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi So a correct way to formulate your first statement would be: "I think it's very sad. Life without God has no meaning, in my opinion. No wonder so many atheists struggle with finding purpose. At least, that's the impression I get."

Would you agree?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi So you retracted from your previous claim?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi If you can't speak for other people's experience, why did you say "Very sad. Life without God has no meaning. No wonder so many atheists struggle with finding purpose."?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi But is all nonbelievers experience the same as yours, or can you only speak for yourself here?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@Liberty17768 @P_Chonya @BradSoliday @TheSkepticWiz "Atheists would never say “yes” to believing in God. They HATE God and..." (Straw man fallacy)

The hatred of God is called Misotheism, not Atheism.

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@Liberty17768 @P_Chonya @BradSoliday @TheSkepticWiz "Atheists are much too smart in their own eyes to do so. And..." (Faulty generalization fallacy + Straw man fallacy)

Atheists or antitheists?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi If, as a nonbeliever, your personal experience felt meaningless, does that mean this is true for all non-believers?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@AtheistOwner @Skeletonkey5555 The only thing that is spot on is my bio: "The wise knows that he believes, the fool believes that he knows."

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@ActualCordiner Mm-hmm.

Note: When I fail at providing any evidence for my claims and people disagree with me I get angry and call them names.

Anger issues.

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@AtheistOwner @Skeletonkey5555 So let me get this straight: you say shit about me, yet you don't know shit about me.

Make it make sense.

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@abraves277 @athiestboi Is that how you felt when you were an atheist? Without purpose?

[Vlad Dusk @DuskVlad]

@ActualCordiner Really. Or is it because you can't provide evidence for your speculative claim?
