  2. If they were in charge, there would be no Halloween. This is similar to if Johova's Witnesses were in charge.

  4. Being an atheist will get you killed in both SA and by ISIS, but not the US. They have no freedom of religion, the US does.

  5. You cannot know that there is no god anywhere, otherwise you're claiming to be a gnostic atheist, instead of an agnostic atheist.  If you say that you know 100% that there is no god, then you are now making a claim and now have the burden of proof. It's a much better idea to say that you lack the belief in gods because of the lack of evidence for gods. You then have no burden of proof because you have made no claims. I don't know what dictionary you have been reading, but atheist is defined as "a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods."

  6. ihartevil You need to take a chill pill man, it is possible to not know something with absolute certainty, but to also hold a belief in it. Unicorns for example. Do you think unicorns are real? If not, you are an a-unicornist. If you think they are real, you could be called a unicornist. Do you know for certain that unicorns are not real? Do you have proof or irrefutable evidence? If so, you are gnostic in your disbelief in unicorns. Gnostic means that you know. If you don't believe in unicorns because of the lack of evidence for the existence of unicorns however, but are open to the idea of evidence for unicorns possibly existing, then you are agnostic in your belief in unicorns. Agnostic and atheist are not mutually exclusive terms. But why take my word for it? Just read what Thomas Henry Huxley wrote when he invented the word agnostic: "Agnosticism, in fact, is not a creed, but a method, the essence of which lies in the rigorous application of a single principle ... Positively the principle may be expressed: In matters of the intellect, follow your reason as far as it will take you, without regard to any other consideration. And negatively: In matters of the intellect do not pretend that conclusions are certain which are not demonstrated or demonstrable." According to philosopher William L. Rowe, in the strict sense, agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify either the belief that God exists or the belief that God does not exist.
