Quote from: XSEAN on September 18, 2015, 04:02:48 PM2 thing I never discuss with people politic and religion. I see the world differently from you Carsongen I mean, I don't feel the need to bring up my lack of belief in conversation like others incessantly do, unless I'm directly asked about it. But I just hate people who try to distance themselves from "vocal atheists" by claiming they're not atheists in the first place. Like, if you don't believe in god/afterlife, you objectively are one. If you don't want to be tied to the fedora tippers, just don't act like one. Trying to claim you aren't an atheist in the first place just makes it worse.

Some people get tired of arguing how counter-terrorism operations can't be handled like conventional warfare and other assorted nonsense that you have to deal with outside of the internet and it's pseudo-intellectual based echo chambers.
tldr version, stop being a pussy about your beliefs/lack of beliefs

I would hardly call the internet an echo chamber... pseudo-intellectual, sure.
Quote from: Sergeant Pip on September 18, 2015, 04:13:11 PM*gets in agnostic chair**grabs popcorn*I said this once already before, but you cannot both believe and not believe at the same time, see the law of the excluded middle. Agnostic/Gnostic are both stances on knowledge. Theist/Atheist are stances on faith. If you believe in God but state that you cannot know of his existence, you're an agnostic theist.If you do not believe in God but state that you cannot know if he doesn't exist, you're an agnostic atheist.If you believe and claim to know God exists, you're an gnostic theist.If you do not believe and claim to know God does not exist, you're an gnostic atheist.If you are calling yourself an pure agnostic, you're an implicit atheist. See here the definition for implicit and explicit atheists.Quote"Implicit atheism" is defined as "the absence of theistic belief without a conscious rejection of it", while "explicit atheism" is "the absence of theistic belief due to a conscious rejection of it"tldr version, stop being a pussy about your beliefs/lack of beliefs

Do you go outside?The internet forum demographic is a lot different than your average normie.
There's a lot more Kinders out there... and they breed... and worse, they vote... for Trump.

I mean, just on this site, you have feminists, anti-feminists, transgenders, atheist, theists, Libertarians, conservatives, liberals, anti-natalists and racists. Seems pretty diverse to me.Although if you're simply referring to things like "there is no God" or "evolution is fact" and stuff then, yeah, I agree with you. But that's ultimately a good thing considering those things aren't even worth discussing. QuoteThere's a lot more Kinders out there... and they breed... and worse, they vote... for Trump.Don't get me started. I just found out a kid in my Law class is a Trump supported. I was like, "Dude, you're Canadian. You have everything to lose and nothing to gain from admitting that."
Unless a website is tailored to conservative values, it is bound to have a progressive liberal bias.

I still wouldn't consider us an echo chamber. Because most of us agree on a single thing? Nah. Liberals don't agree on everything.
You're being literal.
I am a practicing I don't give a shit. Whether or not there is a god isn't going to change how I am going to live my life.

Seriously, all I said was AgnosticI don't believe in god, I know that I can't prove he isn't real, and I can't prove he is. I don't know. As such, i'm agnostic. So leave me alone okay?
