2Crunkshark -- That it does.

@zesty -- How do we know you're telling the truth?

@evidentialist It is evident! Lol

Atheism is NOT a 'default' position nor stance, it IS, in fact, a STATEMENT by a person who has reasoned out through Logic, etc, that NO God/Deities, etc, have ever existed EXCEPT in the fevered, frightened and somewhat primitive minds of the earliest of Homo Sapiens in particular.

@Triphid -- Hmm ... that's a rather odd way to define the word. Sounds more like something a militant antitheist would say.

@evidentialist Then , may I suggest, you RESEARCH the meaning of 'Atheist' as per the Oxford ENGLISH Dictionary.

@Triphid -- Did that long ago, mate. Doesn't say anything at all about believers being afraid, primitive, or deluded. That I happen to agree with your assessment in no way alters the meaning of the word atheist. Atheism is not an active stance. It is a state or condition of not holding a belief in god or gods. Spouting the negative attributes of believers and their psychological status, though I happen to agree with you on that also, is an active stance and more fittingly is described with the word antitheist. Using capital letters to indicate a shout makes it more like a militant antitheist. Might we also agree on that point?

@evidentialist I was mentioning that bit about it as a REFERENCE to the origins of the earliest forms of religious belief systems as per my years of studies into Theology and Comparative Modern Religions ( my ThD btw). It is my firm and educated opinion that those traits still exist amongst the 'Faithfools' of this day and age hence they are the 'source' material/s that ALL Organised Religions foster in their effort to survive and prosper.
Btw, since the Internet does not allow for actual vocal usage on this site, as on others as well, and given that emphasing a point is part and parcel of debate/discussion, etc, I simply use upper case lettering as a means to express emphasis not as a means to shout as you appear to believe/think.

@Triphid -- Understood. For information, on this site we have the wonderful ability to emphasize words with italics and bold face type. Here's an example: The president vowed he would never give in. The president vowed he would never give in.

An asterisk at the beginning and end of a word or phrase produces italics. A pair of asterisks at the beginning and end yields bold type, and triple asterisks will give bold italics.

@evidentialist Thank you, but I grew up and was educated in the No Computer Eras and have only begun using one regularly in the last 10+ years so I'm not all that familiar with computers and their nuances, etc, my skills are at least very basic in that regard.
