Intuition may come into play but its no substitute for pure cold logic.Logic can point out contradictory premises. If, however, the premises are wrong but not contradictory then logic will produce a consistent and wrong answer. If you think otherwise then you do not understand logic.

Atheism is the position of lacking a belief in the existence of gods.
That's it, the one singular thing all atheists have in common.
It's not a belief system, it has one absence of belief.
It is often, but not always, the result of a belief system [such as
Rationalism, Skepticism, Secular Humanism, Buddhism... ect] but
it is not a belief system itself.
Just as not collecting stamps is not a hobby.
Given that you have had this explained to you many times and despite
appearances you are not too stupid to understand this, to claim otherwise
is to lie.
Don't do that.

There is no necessity that logic cannot be used to evaluate two false premises that are contradictory for both can be shown to be unsound. In an algorithm this is not strictly so because its self contained and dependent upon its own inherent values.logic can and reason can and does correct for the incorrect, its how in fact we subject chess variations to falsification.

I reject you, your perspective, your reasons, your inflammatory caustic diatribe, your advice, your assertions of dishonesty and your belief system.
Now suck it up into your mind!

Nice.

Nice? So the negation of not collecting stamps meaning that itis not a hobby is nice? Fail, epic fail, atheism is the disbelief in gods, divinities, its a belief system like any other. Just because its expressed negatively does not negate this fact.
