Are you an agnostic atheist or a gnostic atheist?
Agnostic atheists say that is too arrogant to say that there is no God because thats a claim there is no evidence for, much like the claim that there is a God. Gnostic atheism doesnt absolve the atheist of the burden of proof because they ARE making a claim. Agnostic atheism is just a lack of belief in God rather a claim against his existence, in the face of lacking evidence which is a better position to take, because it shifts the burden of proof on the theist.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality5 months agoWhy do some atheists become Christians or theists of some sort?
Is it because they are going through something terrible and choose to discard logic and find solace in religion? Or is it because they analyse and evaluate religion with reason and arrive at a different conclusion than us atheists and interpret said religion to be well in accord with logic and reason and find irrefutable evidence that corroborate with the specifics of the faith they join?

1 AnswerBiology6 months agoWas it wrong of my uncle? Is he playing his role well? Is disciplining me his role?
My uncle thinks that phones, i pads and video games are all bad and are ONLY used for entertainment. He holds the view that entertainment is ALWAYS wrong and it makes you dumb. My uncle shouts on me, call me names like useless, good for nothing and a slob. There have been numerous instances where he has snatched my screen because he doesn’t like me using gadgets. He has a poor understanding of how gadgets work and views them as toys that goofballs use. Little does he know that they can be used to study, to be in touch with the world and to learn new things. I use my gadgets for entertainment and to study philosophy which my favourite hobby. I try defending my position to him but scoffs at me and dismissing my defence by saying that he wont buy into my lame excuses. He says that hates kids using phones but he is LOT more relaxed with his kids in this regard. I mean has no cool gadgets of his own and his kids borrow mine to use and play games on, but my uncle tends to go easy on them. The moment they return my gadget the uncle immediately steps in takes it by force and give me a scolding.
Do you think it's his place to discipline me? Do i owe him anything? Is my phone usage his business? Why do you think he doesn’t mind his doing the same **** that i do?

I thought that its merely a synonym for philantrophy but turns out that its not.
It refers to rejection of revelation and scripture but how is it different from materialism and atheism.
Antihumanism is the rejection of humanistic ideals.
I have also read that humanism elevates human beings to a metaphysical level. I also did not understand that line.
