yup.
here's my Christian thought though...no such thing as an atheist according to the scriptures. And many atheists believe there is no God. Not just that they don't believe in God. That's an outward acting belief in something that seemingly no one can prove. Making such "Believers" hypocrites as well as faithful as these last base their belief on others not being able to prove God existence.
No such thing as agnostic either (according to the Christian bible), but at least there isn't the element of hypocritical belief involved. A little more honest I think.
Come right down to it....none of us can prove anything to anyone else. On the premise that there is a Christian God (this is not a premise for me...it's true) evidence of him to the individual comes in the form of faith. And it's intended by God this way as revealed in the scriptures. On the premise that there isn't a Christian God, then the proof of this would necessarily be absent by definition as well.
Atheist is a much abused label, I would prefer "Atheist, believing wrongly", "Atheist, in denial of their belief in God" and "Agnostic, wrong but awaiting any proof".
too long by far, so it's Atheist, Agnostic, Believer (in God), Believer (in the Christ). And of course Republican, but that's another story.
as far as Socrates, democracy and the like...I prefer to say agree or disagree with, rather than believe or no. Karma is a faith as is Buddhism (don't know why people call this a philosophy only system. Definitely believes in supernatural stuff that is unprovable). Tho many faiths are not deity based so the term Atheist would have to be used even more haphazardly to apply to non-adherents.
It's all a mess for sure and according to the bible (read romans ch 1 i think) atheists are not just wrong, they are nonexistent. Just another example of human "intelligence".
