na pia Mkuu, are you an atheist or anti-theist?
I will look for it and post it here.
I am an atheist.I am not anti-theist.
I can even see the reason for people believing in a God, I can explain these reasons, I even have empathy for believers.
I am also some kind of libertarian, so I am an advocate for freedom of religion as it was established by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights since December 10 1948.
President Kagame of Rwanda a few days ago announced that he will require pastors to have a degree in theology, I voiced my strong opposition to this move, as it infringes on the Human Rights of the people of Rwanda.
Even as I am an atheist, I will defend the freedom of religious people to worship as they want, justvas I will defend the freedom of atheist to reject religion.
The most important thing is freedom of choice and self determination.
I can't be anti-theist. I defend the right of religious people to worship their own God as they please. As long as they are not imposing their faith on me.
I do not acknowledge the existence of God outside of what if abstract thought experiments, particularly and starting with an all knowing, all loving and and all capable God such as the one preached about in the Bible and the Quran.
If atheism is the absence of belief in God. That is me.
.
If anti theism is the conscious, deliberate and almost activism opposition to theism. I am not that much of an anti theist. For starters, I do not initiate much in these conversations. An anti theist to me must initiate the agenda, not merely respond to something that is already in the conversation.
If you have noticed, I hardly start anything about God here. In fact I hardly start anything.
I just reply to people and air my views, especially by showing obvious contradictions.
Mostly the cognitive dissonance is so thick people shrug off these obvious contradictions.
