That's clarified things no end

Glad to be of service.

And if the Cheeky One is going to make pronouncements, then we should point out any lack of clarity in his expostulations. (I'm sure the chemist sells a tube of cream for that.)

The following is lifted from Wikipedia:

--------------------------------------------------------------
Heathen
--------------------------------------------------------------
Heathen is from Old English hæðen "not Christian or Jewish", (c.f. Old Norse heiðinn). Historically, the term was probably influenced by Gothic haiþi "dwelling on the heath", appearing as haiþno in Ulfilas' bible as "gentile woman," (translating the Greek in Mark 7:26). This translation probably influenced by Latin paganus, "country dweller", or it was chosen because of its similarity to the Greek ethne, "gentile". It has even been suggested that Gothic haiþi is not related to "heath" at all, but rather a loan from Armenian hethanos, itself loaned from Greek ethnos.

You are confusing "worthiness" and "effectiveness".

no I aint

But a system based upon an illusion is not utterly worthless.

An army of soldier ants marching in a column for food (no belief system) is bl**dy terrifying
An army of religious fanatics (belief system based on delusion) marching in a column is equally terrifying

in my humble opinion

And yet, grass hopper, you fail to grasp that an atheist requires NO 'belief system' whatsoever.

'Belief' is an illusion, and a system based upon an illusion is utterly worthless.

Looks like my definition of Athiest is slighty out (should have said has thier own belif system) but I stand by my statement that if chico is looking for god haters he wants to look for Heathen's and not Athiest's

Heathens have gods, just not the same ones as Chico.

Do you believe in ethical agents?

No.

The last time I used an agent was in 1983!

Athiests do not believe in any God (or Gods) so it would be illogical for them to hate God(s).

I am an atheist (since age 13), and only believe what I can see with my own eyes, or is proven to me by logical argument, or physical evidence.

[bogeyman]

Are you implying that Athiests are god haters Chico?

If i remember correctly Athiests are not god haters, they just worship thier own gods in thier own ways.

If you want god haters you want Heathen's

A lot of people who don't know what they are talking about seem to get Athiests mixed up with Heathen's which just causes lots of confusion

Get it right matey, a bible bashing numpty like you should have some clue when it comes to religion!!!

Where are the atheists?

In the caravan club forum...

Do you say in your heart there is no God? If you do well then you are the true fool. Seek solace in yourself, in material things, in your so called enlightenment and see where that gets you.

What good do you to the world Chico? If you are so much into good actions, why aren't you working for a charity?

Saying this doesn't make you any better, only a little more hypocritical.
