The University of London study puts an end to atheism once and for all.

Atheism isn't natural. A person has to make a huge effort to be an atheist, just as it's harder to lie than to tell the truth.

Even those who declare themselves atheists are still believers because they continue to believe intuitively. It is impossible to be an atheist. It's over.

I am an atheist and I'd say the reverse is true, those that believe in God and Heaven don't actually believe in that fairy tale silliness. My evidence would be they fight for their lives, they pray for their health, they go through chemo, they wear bulletproof vests, they wear seatbelts, etc. They don't want to die, but why? If you are just going to float up to a perfect would where you can party with Jesus forever why not just do that? It's because you don't actually believe in that superstitious silliness.

Atheists are just low IQ egotistical materialists. They think they don't believe in god, but their god is their own ego. They worship their own supposed intelligence and "rational and logical" mind above anything else. They are their own gods. And their religion is scienceism. Anything that goes against it or questions it s blasphemous.

read Nietzsche. Religion, especially christianity is dead and was a scam all along.

This is true

Only Muslims believe in their religion
When Italy conquered the Vatican (through war) the pope asked all Christians to come and defend it. Many Christians came, they had a huge army. When the Italian army showed up they all surrendered.

Yes you've figured out that we're all stupid fucking retarded monkeys so even our most intelligent people are still just slightly less retarded than you are ultimately. It's why people who unshackle themselves from religion still end up in the embrace of all the charlatans, satanists, and hedonists. When you, as an atheist learn to stop rebelling against religion while still decoupling yourself, you realize that when you take the leash off you still need your own leash. That's self-control. When you rebel so hard from religion, you just end up launching yourself into someone else's cage.
I'm an atheist that never had to rebel because my parents gave me so little cursory exposure to religion that I was able to make peace with it and respect it while still distancing myself. Then I realized all their morality is just an evolution of the morals cavemen employed before religion existed. Religions are too rigid, so eventually we need something new. But you need self-control to manage it. Since religion and society hijack that control, you eventually fall to sin/vice even when in "god's grace." You've played yourself.

Even those who declare themselves religious still do not believe because they continue to disbelieve intuitively. It is impossible to be religious. It's over.

If you rewrote all the questions in the study to be about atheism rather than religion, you would get this answer.

there is kinda of a pointless distinction in there
you can extend agnosticism to the point where it doesn’t even matter: you can entertain the idea that the universe was created by some entity, but it’s so far removed from the concept of an actual god, the sacred scripture kind, that the probability becomes meaningless
the likelihood may go from 0% to 50%, but that 50% is completely pointless, because you removed any descriptor from it
at that point, it’s effectively atheist gnosticism

>Using a simple task based on the ‘Knobe effect’, the researchers examined how people infer intentionality in circumstances where a person’s actions knowingly caused individuals to either become religious believers or atheists. The Knobe effect is an established psychological phenomenon demonstrating that people are more likely to attribute intentionality to an action with harmful (versus helpful) consequences.

>Across all countries, participants were more likely to judge that an action knowingly causing a shift toward atheism was intentional, suggesting people intuitively see atheism as more harmful than belief.
This seems poorly argued. Harmful actions being seen as more deliberate doesn't mean that all deliberate actions are considered harmful.

There is a rock in plymouth. It's not the one called Plymouth Rock, but lies obscure about 300 meters away and uncovered at low tide. The God of that rock is the correct one toward which to direct your prayers. And the nice thing about that God is that he doesn't care if you believe in him or not, but generally has a good disposition and sometimes answers prayers, though he can work in mysterious ways. And even if the rock is destroyed or someday erodes, no worries - it's just where the God has set up shop lately ( for the past few thousand years at least )

my point is that gnostic atheism and agnostic atheism become the same thing when you abstract so much and remove so many descriptors from "god" that it turns into some undefined event

Because you stupid miserable motherfucker, life is actually a really amazing gift and our obligation is to live that life that was given to us to the best of our ability. You do understand Earth was the Garden of Eden, right? In the story, the Garden isn't a specific place, it's a metaphor for the entire planet. And we are still living in that garden today, albeit corrupted. I want to be with my God, but I also want to live the life I was gifted. I will protect that gift as best as I can. I have eternity in Heaven, I only have ~90 years here. I want to enjoy my stay. What miserable fuck are you that you want to leave this place? This is kike thinking, it's what the average kike actually thinks. They only think of life as suffering, not that it's the greatest gift ever given.

My argument against the paper is that it isn't based on facts. It's supposition mixed with anecdotal reporting, all tied together by a principal of "inference" that is based on reported THOUGHTS rather than measurable FACTS.

Knowledge is based on facts
Belief is an opinion held in the absence of facts
It is a FACT that no tangible evidence for a higher power has ever been produced in the entire recorded history of humanity. This FACT means that I can disagree with your belief and have no obligation to establish a separate set of beliefs (as you claim atheists do). I can simply state that your belief isn't based on fact and that therefore I don't believe it. There is no assertion on my part in this circumstance outside of that claim.
>>
>>519114642
Anon words have meaning for a reason. Use them and understand them properly.
When I describe myself as atheistic, it means I have no belief, none, zip, zero, nada, I don't have any sort of thought process to think there is a supernatural God. It doesn't mean I don't know of the concept, or know of the meaning of what a God is, it just means I lack a belief in such a thing beyond the concept.

Religious people actually believe in the concept. They know it, they feel it, have thoughts about it.

Reminder:

Empirically, those who call themselves "atheists" tend to hold beliefs that fall into a distinct constellation. One typical atheist belief is that they get to just "define" atheism in a way that includes a bunch of people who would never willingly associate themselves with this demographic.

If you argue this point to an atheist, sooner or later he will revert to slandering whatever he thinks your religion is, or making some strawmen about theists, even if you never express any theistic beliefs. At that point, he has determined that you are NOT an atheist, even though you may very well be one by his bogus definition. Why? Simply because you disagree with his characteristic atheist philosophy and atheist pattern of thought.

This WILL happen REGARDLESS of your belief in deities or lack thereof. The atheist intuitively rejects his own definitions.
>>
>>519113877

>99.99999% of the universe both at a macro and sub atomic state is nothingness. And whatever substance that is there is just energetic waveforms.
The reification of nothing is the basic tenet of the atheist religion.

Oxymoron

People cant claim to be atheist until they have an actual definition of what they think God is.

Ok fine mr athiest. Here's something that doesn't involve faith at all. All animals have the instinct to preserve themselves, whether they are able to believe in religion or not.

Nobody is an atheist. Not really. That's why their arguments are always insults, emotional-driven, ignorance-based, and/or fallacies.

Not my experience

The issue is that agnosticism and atheism emerged from European morality and values. They were ostensibly Christian, but they weren't the values of theocratic or religious Christianity. They were cultural values. You couldn't have the society anyone wants from a theocracy. Theocracy is just like communism. Functionally and mechanically. It doesn't work, and it only serves zealots and dictators.
The decline of morality has led to a collapse of concepts of dignity and social trust and civic duty. And the incursion of alien cultures that view all of that as weakness and see exploitation and abuse as normal is actively rotting the foundation that most people in the West want.

Ok sure, it's impossible for now to one if God exists so it'd be foolish to claim God doesn't exist.

A study with a subjective conclusion based on a more subjective conclusions (kobe effect) you say? That isn't science that is a belief system examining its own beliefs. That is a religion defining its own theology.
>>
>>519118708
