In deference to your established difficulties with reading comprehension, I'll repeat myself: |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
I changed my sig quote. |

In regards to the relevance of the topic, it surely is relevant because many of you have cited that it is indeed relevant. Many have said that Christianity is more valid because it has existed so long ("argument" against flying spaghetti monster). I bring up atheism to actually show that by that logic, atheism is much more valid |

To actually get down to the etymology of "Atheism" most of you that call yourselves Atheists have actually proven yourselves to be "Anti-theists," even in this thread alone, which is a more accurate label. |

What you are missing is the very distinct possibility that the beliefs of those existing before any of the current theologies were most likely still closer to theistic beliefs than a-theistic ones. As I've said before, I think you would be hard pressed to point to a time in history that was the exact beginning of all theology and what you would most likely find is something that could be called theology, from which theology evolved from, dating back as far as any form of language and perhaps even before. Regardless, there is no default position on this subject. The default position on the question of whether or not there is a god is ignorance of the question, which is not the same thing as atheism. |
