To which premise do you refer? I did not make the comment with the expectation of making friends, but rather to incite debate. Anyone who talks about religion and Atheism should expect debate.
That said. Religion is a fundamental construct of western civilization. To claim disagreement with what so many people have born, lived, killed, and died to believe is a very serious thing.
Premise: Atheism is a refutation or dismissal of ALL stories, anecdotes, eyewitness accounts, and historical records that claim the "for real" corporeal or non-corporeal existence of divine beings .
Premise: The refutation or dismissal of the existence of divine beings is incompatible with the belief, first-hand accounts, and historical record of said divine beings.
Premise: A Atheist, by virtue of the first premise, holds that the stories, anecdotes, and first-hand accounts of divine beings are wrong due to error or deception.
Its pretty funny actually. Ya might want to backtrack and re-read the conversation. Pay special attention to the capitalization if that helps.
Silly rabbit.
Is this an idea you came up with all on your own? Or did a bunch of people get together to try to convince you of these beings? Did they write books, build temples,and hold ceremonies to convince you of the existence and benevolence of these creatures?
Are you disbelieving the idea, or the people who told you the idea? The problem is, the people who told you didn't claim credit for the idea. They told you it was the TRUTH.
Its not much different at all. A "Hard Atheist" may be just as religious and biggoted as any other kind of person devout to their beliefs.
The real question is: Is there a word for people who "Could care less if there is a god",
I think the pasta people might be closest to that ideal, but I could never embrace it.
By thinking it through. There is a lot of time to do that when you are an Atheist.
People say that Atheism is the disbelief of god, but that is not correct. Atheism is the disbelief of people. By being an Atheist, you are in fact saying; "I dont believe anything that anyone has -ever- said in support of the existence of god'. You are saying: "Those people have been misled or deceived in some way and I dont believe them no matter their opinion, credibility, or station in life."
Atheism will never be popular or accepted. Because that acceptance would not be reciprocated. Atheists don't believe in people.
The batteries could even have small motorized wheels of their own that allow them to automatically detach from the bus and self-navigate to a charging station. Then a new battery could crawl up under the bus and hoist itself into position and lock-in.
Maybe it does not want to promote the number of significant figures that integer represents?
Do current distros (systemd or not) still allow for zombie process to remain in the process table? Does systemD fix that problem now?
Drones seem un-necessary. Why the return trip? Why not make the delivery vehicle....a "smart-bomb". A delivery vehicle that could be dropped from a [very] large plane and that descends in a very controlled fall to its destination. Maybe homing in on GPS, or using a small camera.. It would have just enough smarts to control its descent and make adjustments, but be disposable otherwise. Or tough enough to ship back to Amazon by "ground" shipping.
It looks like a really nice case, but too far outside my "minimalist" envelope. I do need to shake things up though; I haven't built a machine in too long. I need to bring a new one to life.
There were reasons which I cannot seem to remember right now. Fan noise maybe? But why dont cases blow air up?
