Don't be silly, "Atheism is characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of gods." -- http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/intro.html It's just the opposite of what you say. Belief in the existence of gods is not required. The only rational state in this case is an absence of belief in the existence of gods. Again: "Atheism is characterized by an absence of belief in the existence of gods." -- http://www.infidels.org/news/atheism/intro.html Atheist agnostics go beyond absence of belief in the existence of gods to unabashedly deny and repudiate, on principle, religious belief in the existence of gods: "That which Agnostics deny and repudiate, as immoral, is the contrary doctrine, that there are propositions which men ought to believe, without logically satisfactory evidence." -- Thomas Huxley, who coined the term 'agnostic', in his excoriation of the Christian Belief, "Agnosticism and Christianity" http://aleph0.clarku.edu/huxley/CE5/Agn-X.html "The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence." -- Thomas Huxley, Evolution and Ethics --- BBBS/LiI v4.01 Flag* Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) SEEN-BY: 633/267 5030/786 @PATH: 261/38 123/500 379/1 633/267 |
