I dont understand the dead ppl xtians reference. Sorry i must be dim. You will have to explain that one.

Christianity is not that big a threat in Australia. Any belief is a position.

This is 2 entire concepts put on 1 line. Who knows why.

Xtianity is not that big a threat in australia.

Yeah I agree. Australia is pretty lucky in that respect.

Any belief is a position.

Yeah thats right too. And non-belief is NOT a position. Its not even a belief.

No. Atheists know facts, Religiosose accept statements without proof and accept them as facts, this is known as belief. It is up to believers to prove their case not up to atheists to disprove it. pluto is made of green cheese, I can believe it and accept it as a fact. And I don't have to prove it.

Interesting analogy. But.

Abstinence makes sense only if there is a possibility of sex - or alcohol or drugs or fatty foods or whatever one is abstaining from. Cutting off one's d!ck is not abstinence. Having a d!ck but choosing to keep it in the trousers is abstinece. So atheism is an abstinence from a belief in god, not a permanent severing of all attitudes towards god.

Not that that made any sense but atheism is a lack of belief in a deity.

I know you certainly do not come to your conclusions without removing emotion and pre conceived ideas.
