Rejecting the very premise of god existing sounds like rejection to me.

We might make it. A huge die off in the transition is what I’m talking about as well.

I like Kurzweil too. He’s fun but he gets really carried away. From what you’re saying you and I both think it’s going to be a rockier path than Ray.

Atheism is one thing, the rejection of the god claim. Anything else is on the individual. Your misrepresentations are funny
ok yeah - I meant “some” atheists

The way you scratch and claw for tiny little holes to poke at is the funny thing

and then Chula pulled the same maneuver on you and you’re off on that bit of pointless minutiae

When you're wrong or misrepresenting a position I'm going to call it out. I'd hope you do the same to me.

No it isn't. And if you're going to take the position of a hard athiest that says "God doesn't exist", you better have some evidence or I'll reject that claim as well.

Chula you’re obviously right on a technicality

You can’t reject something that doesn’t exist

Don’t bother going down this rabbit hole arguing whether atheism is the rejection of god or the idea that there is a god

My imaginary friend doesn’t want you to and I don’t want him to feel rejected

Youre not rejecting the thing, youre rejcting the claim, which does in fact exist.

You’re an atheist who’s going to reject the claim that god doesn’t exist?

Please stop.

We're getting into semantics.

I don't believe anything in regards to gods. They are mythical. Fun to read about in a fictional way but that's it. Why bother trying to denounce fiction as fiction. It's fiction. Should I have to buy a T-shirt proclaiming that?

You've put a god in place that you feel I've rejected. He's never existed in my world for over 40 years. How can I reject something that doesn't exist?

Do you reject Santa Claus?

I'll just leave you with this. God is not a fable, you may consider the stories surrounding it's existence to be fables but the agent itself is not a story. Athiesm is the rejection of the entity/agent whatever, not the rejection of religious text.
You should’ve rolled with that plan a long time ago.
