What the?
Atheism means no belief in god. What part of that don't you understand?
i think atheists are sick of the whole scene, that's why they call themselves that. not because they don't believe in God....for the most part.

So you really think additional [b]years of research and study amount to nothing? 😕[/b]

Originally posted by bot 6You can get a PhD in things other than philosophy, most of them are actually. To get a doctorate, you have to do research and publish a thesis as well as just take classes, you are using your own mind, not just the work of others. Plato and Socrates are all well and good, but they don't lead to much new knowledge anymore.

Originally posted by bot 6I'm an atheist and I've actually had to participate in organized religion a lot lately, I don't believe a word of it I assure you, but it certainly hasn't gotten me out of the religion scene, at least for the moment. I and many other people definitely DO NOT believe in any kind of god or "higher power" whatsoever.

Originally posted by bot 6So, by your rationale most Christians are just calling themselves that to what, be a part of the 'whole scene'?

This makes no sense.
My Dad has and wants no part of the religion 'scene'. He calls himself nothing. It wouldn't even cross his mind to do so. God, religion, churches, mean nothing to him. He's areligious I guess.
I'm an atheist not because I'm sick of any 'scene' - far from it. My posts here are an indication of my willingness and desire to be a part of the discussions and arguments. I'm an atheist because I reject the notion that there exists any sort of supernatural aspect to the world around us.

Originally posted by bot 6No. PhD means you have a doctorate. I have. I'm seriously doubting you do, considering you don't know what it means. I'm a scientist by trade. As is Stephen Hawking. Are you suggesting that YOU know more about the universe than he does??
phd is just another word for talking out of my a$$, anyone can philosophy....im talking about being ignorant about the universe.
I think its you talking out of your ass.

Originally posted by bot 6A PhD is not necessarily in philosophy. Mine is in science.

Perhaps you should look these things up, it's obvious you don't understand.

Originally posted by bot 6You clearly have no idea what phliosophy actually is. I doubt whether after years of study you could even grasp the simplest of philosophical concepts.

Stephen Hawkings may be the high priest of Atheism, but he still needs someone to wipe his arse for him .. or in your case .. lick it.
Memorizing and regurgetating "facts" for some University test is one thing .. being able to tie your own shoes and wipe your own arse is quite another.
You know a lot of facts in one area of life .. science. That doesn't mean you have the sense to come in out of the rain, just that you learned how to memorize and suck up to Professors in a closed society.
Get over yourself, you ain't all that and FOR SURE you don't know everything, as a matter of fact, from your posts, you don't much of anything outside of one little area of life.
