The fact you are getting this worked up is funny. The fact you didn't call BS on me using the European Colonization of America and WWII as an "act of Christianity" but are getting this nitpicky about "acts done by atheists" vs "acts done in the name of atheism" is icing on the cake. LMAO I'm not getting worked up, you don't have that power over me. You merely slightly annoy me. I'm pretty sure I called you out on you attributing things to Christianity that weren't actually done in the name of Christianity, but I might have overlooked some things. Don't blame me, your posts are so full of shit that it's all too much to deal with on a point-by-point basis. Not to mention the many contradictions in your posts. For example: You claim you lack faith in general, yet you claim you're not an atheist or agnostic? Nonsense. That's impossible. Either you indeed lack faith, which makes you an agnostic/atheist, or you don't lack faith. Which one is it? You claim atheism's lack of theistic faith leaves a void that needs to be filled. Yet you also say you personally lack faith. So what do you use to fill that void in you? Or are you somehow a special snowflake to whom this "rule" does not apply? There is a void that belief often does fill. It's a basic psychological tick within humanity that very few are able to ever shake. Belief that one has an absolute understanding of the world through a religion for example. Belief in concepts such as the rule or law or in the nature of humanity, be it good or bad. Applying certain to what is impossible to be certain about, and clinging to it as a foundation of ones psychological bedrock for going out and experiencing an unpredictable world where outside of science, the rules are mostly made up on the fly. That is what all belief systems offer in the end, from the most optimistic of religious views to the most nihilistic of atheists ideas or the most totalitarian of cults, it offers people a chance to feel like they have something solid that they know about in life, a 100% certainty fact that is much more practical and personal then the sky blue. As for my beliefs? That's simple. I believe and have faith in the idea of human good and the ability to defy ones nature. That there are good people in this world, even with the amount of crap humanity produces daily, and thst all people have the capacity for good, compassion, and kindness, because humans can defy nature and the natural order of kill or be killed. I don't believe in god, and I don't really believe in an afterlife either, or anything supernatural that isn't simply an odd phenomenon that's yet to be explained. At the same time, I believe there exists things like universal morals, basic things and rules to humanity such as Don't Fuck Kids, or It's Polite To Help Strangers. Simply because I would prefer a world where such is the case, without much of the spiritual stuff making it so, and more because more times then not I think most people live life this way in some form. It's like the incredibly lazy and passive version of Stoicism.
