It's a mistake for non-believers to accept the label ''atheist."
It's being used like the "anti-Semite" label. Very effectively.
You can say, "I am not religious," and people will think nothing of
it.
The moment you say "I am an atheist," they get out the garlic bulbs,
or the shotguns.
It's curious, because Mr. Hines is quite an atheist himself. He is
atheistic when it comes to Zeus, Shiva, Brahma, Cihuacoatl, Odin,
Shango, Bumba, Baal, and almost all other gods.
Surreyman and I merely go one god further.
Humanist, I suppose, is the more polite phrase this side of the pond.
But insults from Hines? .........................................

With Hines as concrete proof that the universe was not created by an
all-knowing, all-loving god, we can be sure that Surreyman is
justified in his humanism.
James Hogg
"Virginia [yes] lingered, whelmed in pity, thrilled by a wonderful
womanliness of HER who knelt there."
Winston Churchill, The Crisis
Curious notion that a believer in groundless myths and superstitions
should be a better-grounded person than one who doesn't believe such
bunk.
Curiouser still is how Mr. Hines suffers quite discomposure, if not
frank unhappiness, unless he is considered a highly educate member of
the intelligentsia, yet he has a thoroughly insufficient taste for
evidence when it comes to religious claims; claims and beliefs that
should not survive an elementary school education. He seems content
with holding sacred religious beliefs for no other reason that they
were thought sacred yesterday. And he is quite happy to organize his
life around untestable propositions found in ancient literature.
He criticizes Islamofascists for killing and dying to further the same
sort of propositions, the only difference being that Islamofascists
use a different piece of ancient literature with a somewhat different
set of untestable propositions.
Mr. Hines, a lover of history, seems unconcerned to belong to a
religious group whose own literalists place the beginning of the
universe 2500 years after the Sumerians and Babylonians learned how to
brew beer.
A group in which to be a moderate means to subscribe to the
unacknowledged neglect of the letter of the divine law -- entire
paragraphs, pages, and chapters, in fact. Why bother in the first
place?
For people who demand evidence from those who claim to know the
answers to the great questions of existence -- matters of the utmost
importance -- Mr. Hines has only disdain and pejorative labels.
Yet, in trifling matters like knowing whether the picture I posted of
NoGall is genuine, Mr. Hines demands evidence.
Curiouser and curiouser, indeed.
That's because the two things are not even approximately the same.

Why are you ignoring the "and" in that definition?
--
Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN be...@iphouse.com
Because it is irrelevant. The definition unfolded is this:
Religious =
Having belief and reverence for God or a deity
OR
Showing belief and reverence for God or a deity.
It goes without saying that if you believe in a personal God capable
of creating the universe and orchestrating an after-life, you must
have some feeling of respect for it, unless you are crazy. Therefore
reverence is assumed if you believe in God.

He didn't know what "religious" means, and wants to forget that he had
to come here to learn it.
This is quickly reassembling previous forays NoGall has made into this
forum; he plays mouse for a while and then goes away and spends months
crying in laps, just to forget himself again.

If that comes from a dictionary, you need a better one. An atheist
denies the existence of any deity. That is just as much a "belief" as
the belief any established religion posits, so claiming "all
atheist(needs an s) are not religious" is really just an anti-atheist's
definition of atheism. Not believing in either the existence OR
nonexistence of a deity is agnosticism. Ever heard of it?

NoGall missed an invaluable opportunity to hold his tongue when he
joined this thread.
Now he has to go to safe mode, saying as little as an ellipsis, just
in case he slips again.
He can spend months like this. It's his idea of "holding out."
What he actually holds out is his large butt for me to kick and throw
rocks at worse than his father threw rocks at the stork.

On the contrary. Atheism means etymologically and semantically no
more than LACK of belief.
A LACK of belief is not a belief anymore than the lack of money is a
fortune in the bank.
You should get this straight first if you want to join this
conversation.
Atheism (non-theism) is not a religion, or a philosophy, or a belief
system, or a woldview, anymore than non-racism is. Theists they make
claims, which atheist simply don't accept. That's all there is to the
definition. There are of course varieties of atheism but they all
share the same general definition before other clauses are added.
There is much discourse as to why the claims of theists are
unacceptable to the rational mind, but that is not a religion either
or a belief system: it's a debate.
You seem to believe all the facile rebuttals to atheism that have long
been shot down. I suggest you read up a little before wading deep in
this subject.

You forget to tell us how atheist are religious. Please do that.
Hilarious. NoGall tries to poke with a warm lettuce...
Never intellectually nimble, NoGall appears in worse shape today than
in his illustrious run of 2006, in which he covered himself with
glory.
Astonishing! In record time he has established and confirmed that
some folks descended from the chimpanzee later than others.
The way you've posed it, you're totally wrong. It's a basic tenet of
logic that the person saying something exists, is the one who has to
prove it; not the other way around.
However, there are people who are hysterically atheistic and who
argue it from just as much an emotional standpoint as supernaturalists
argue for their fantasy figures and myths.
Actually, you supernaturalists have a very simple way of proving your
case and converting masses of non-hysterical atheists - just have your
supernatual beings show themselves and prove their powers.
You claim you to talk to them and see evidence of their presence, so
it should be simple to get this done... if they actually exist....
I'll be happy to convert as soon as you do that.

NoGall keeps borrowing quotes from his betters, and wondering how to

I have never seen a man wanting to swing easy and hit hard more than
NoGall, and being so irremediably unable to do so.
So NoGall, you didn't know what "religious" means, eh?
Tell us more.
Fred's taste for "<poking>" isn't very strong either.
Each "<poke>" does little poking but shows NoGall's empty silo of
ideas to the readers and gives me the chance to make fun of him
indefinitely.

What NoGall is trying to say, Fair Readers, is that a man has also the
right to be barren.
A dry womb to the tomb.
But does he have the right to abuse the privilege?
That's mission creep in reverse, NoGall.
Fred's character assassinations always end up as drive-by dullness
attacks.
Yet another unexploded tedium grenade.
NoGall is joggin in place, away from the minefield, he thinks.
Hilarious.

It will soon be two years I've been kicking NoGall's butt with rarely
a miss.
No applause, please... It's a big target.
His intellect is not replenished yet; he remains only sensible in the
duller parts.
Here I am, for it is fit that I commit offense to my inferiors
The winter is at an end and NoGall is nicely positioned over the
whipping post.
He is responsive, clueless, and any day now he will think of something
to say, and kick off a new fun season.
In preparation here is some spring cleaning: NoGall needs a new
nickname.
True that where normal people have a gall bladder NoGall has a muscle,
and when attacked he flexes it but no creative juice comes out; he
just feels the tight knot, which has become central to his world, and
is responsible for the grimace a few Fair Readers have seen.
Everybody knows it by now so it's time to move on.
Fred, your new name for the season is Yono. Or short for Yoko Ono.
And phonetically means, "not me" in Spanish.
Yes, folks, Fred is quite like the odious ugly little cunt; but
without a supergroup to break.
Kind of like a dog without the loyalty.
Stay tuned.

Fred, you must be getting great pleasure from poking Tiglath in his
gibbering. In fact, I wish you two would get a room.
Mark
Not as much pleasure as I get sticking his poker up his ass, after
warming up the metal thoroughly, burrs and all.
It suits me that NoGall continues to parade his mental deficits. In
fact, I hope he keeps going through spring, summer, and fall, and
provides a daily canvas for me to draw his caricature. Think of it
as the s.h.m. daily cartoon.
As to you, rural Bush voter. You must be eating the seed corn by now
in order to save your little cash to buy a little gas for your
tractor. Serves you right.

The evening was saved, however, when Yono opened his kimono

I didn't know I had damaged this goober so badly in 2006.
He lost the battle of wits and now tries to make up for it with
mindless endurance.
Poor bastard. Who told him I tire easily?
It's Yono's (formely known as NoGall [a.k.a Fred McCal]) version of
the Socratic Method, without the questions.
For each <poke> Yono utters, I have a hundred jabs. Curiously,
written by Yono himself -- the best kind.
It's all in the program for the next seasons.
Stay tuned.
Oh, I am. He, of course, is far too thick to 'get it' and just keeps
trying to get a reaction that will never happen.
And the last thing I'd want is to share a room with a Spaniard...

Don't forget what you learned about "religious" in this thread,

Mind you, God won't help you.
Yono (formerly NoGall) goes for an extended bewildered pause.
Not a sunny disposition, Yono.
And that's a goober who lives in Caribbean Avenue.
Hmmmmm, more catnip.
Shweeet.
Fair Readers are better off in a way with a quieted Yono (formerly
NoGall). He tends to vacuity.

Whatever Yono wants, it didn't work in the first fifty pokes.
What makes him think it will in the next fifty, I wonder.
Isn't it amusing to see Fred hanging on by his two typing fingers?
Behold: s.h.m.'s own Yoko Ono flapping in the wind.
The trouble with good things is that they always get better.
What we have here, folks, is a man who hasn't quite mastered the
