will ever put a gun to your head and force you to believe. I’m shocked by how angry and hateful atheists get at their fellow pedes who bring up prayer or faith. You are acting exactly like liberals, going in to a post just to hate-reply. It’s sad. All we are doing is praying snd encouraging others to pray. If you don’t want to, that’s fine. There’s no need to harass those who want to. We are all on the same team here.

Where i used to work, a group of people got together by the flagpole every day at lunch. They didn’t demand anyone join them. They didn’t force the company to make prayer mandatory. They just got together and prayed, and everyone else moved on about their day.

There’s no need for the infighting. God bless

Atheist are really only atheists when they are attacking someone else's beliefs.

As soon as atheists are put on the defensive, they become agnostics.

Hard disagree. You can be agnostic & theist, agnostic & atheist, gnostic & theist, gnostic & atheist.

Gnostic/Agnostic is a position on knowledge.

Theist/Atheist is a position on belief.

Gnostic/Agnostic: the truth of a claim is knowable/unknowable.

Theist/Atheist: I do/do not believe

MAGA on!

I agree with your definitions but often during theistic/atheistic debates, theists have their battle lines drawn fairly clearly based off of whatever their theistic doctrine is and are always theists.

Atheists, will take an atheist position that says there is no god when they are dismantling theism and then when they are cross-examined, will adopt an agnostic position of "not-knowing" anything that can't be explained by science.

In other words, they should always be "agnostic" because they don't know, but then they have an opportunity to attack theism, atheist will abandon all pretenses of not knowing in favor of saying there is no god.
