[QUOTE="soren008"]Do you know what the term atheist means? An atheist in no way admits to the existence of God...or else they aren't an atheist.:|Very narrow-minded generalization there.. An atheist doesnt always want to disprove everything ..
All Athiesm wants is truth
Most of human kind would like there to be a GOD.. An atheist forms his beliefs on whats based in front of him, not from a series of proverbs written by men

So how could they understand faith? Answer...they can't.
I know what it means to be an Athiest .. I just said its narrowminded of you to think an "athiest only wants to disbelieve GOD's existance ".. which isnt true...
Athiesm isnt a full stop towards faith at all ...

He's too narrow-minded to understand that being open-minded isn't narrow-minded. :roll:
And somehow burying your nose in a book of fables isn't narrow-minded? Ignoring the world around you and settling for certain on one pre-determined path? Sheesh.
Well to be honest....I don't think all atheists question much. They take what science says and only attribute reality to that. Science requires questions...yet if you have read any posts in OT regarding science you see stagnant minds that don't wish to question science.Actually Atheism is built on the foundations to "question everything"

You assume all atheists are of like mind, and even of like thought process. Now THAT is narrow-minded.

Besides, all I've ever tried to do was open your mind. But if you don't reply to any of my posts ever again, I guess I could live with it. You insult just as much as anyone, but just because you do it in a subtlely cloaked kind of way, you think no one notices. Get real. You're only pulling the wool over your own eyes.

That is pretty ignorant to say.
After doing a lot of research on this forum I've come to the conclusion that all religious people are blind believers. (sarcasm)
If you can't conceive of what you don't know for fact...that is the very definition of what is narrow minded. Whether you agree or not...it's true. Open minded means open to other things...not rigid in thinking. How come someone that denies possibilities in anything...be open minded?That is pretty ignorant to say.

Let me rephrase my last reply and turn it into a question to make things more clear to you.
After reading some replies from a random gaming forum which is mostly populated by ignorant kids, you believe that you can draw such a complex conclusion based on those replies? How much research did you really do? Did you travel the world? Did you do multiple polls in many different countries? I've seen many religious blind believers throughout my life but you don't see me calling you all ignorant because of a few ignorant religious people.
I'm not using the forum to come to my decisions. I'm using the fact they ONLY believe what can be proven to them. If evolution wasn't proven....they wouldn't believe that either. It's the inability to say...anything is possible that I am using. Why do you take narrow minded as a bad thing? It's not.Let me rephrase my last reply and turn it into a question to make things more clear to you.

First post today where you didn't try an insult. So I shall answer.....it depends entirely on the context of the word. Being a bigot is narrow minded...not in a good way. Excelling at an area of expertise because one is narrow minded is in a good way. In regard to this topic.....I'm using narrow minded merely to underscore the inability to conceive that mankind does not have all the answers and the supernatural is possilbe. Thus, an agnostic would not be narrow minded. On the opposite side...a fundamentalist is narrow minded in that they can't conceive that science can answer questions about life.Comprehende?

But with that explanation/logic you can also slap the "narrow minded tag" onto the religious people.

LJS9502_basic
That's not what I meant. The fossils are indirect evidence of evolution because we don't know for 100% that the fossils actually played a part of evolution. In other words, they are not solid proof. Similar to religion, you have to make a leap of faith to believe in it. This shows you how atheists can have faith too. This is indirect evidence which shows atheists CAN understand religion. That's the best I can do to show you that atheists are the same as theists because you can't really prove that an atheist truly understands religion, as much as you can't really prove that a theists understands his own religion, because it all happens in your brain or your soul and we can't look inside of those.
This also means that you can't proof that atheists cannot understand or conceive religion. You simply choose to deny it, which is narrow minded. Which brings me back to what I posted earlier.

It recalls the quote from Aristotle I posted before: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without having to accept it." Since most of your debates center around that concept, it could serve well in your signature.
