If you believe in Atheism, you're an idiot...

[Chanus]

Being Agnostic and being apathetic are two different things which may overlap à la some Venn diagram of belief systems, but simply defining "Agnostic" as "I don't care if there is a god" is quite incorrect and insufficient.

It's a bit of a pet peeve as so many morons claim they are "agnostic" simply because they think it's "better" or "smarter" than saying they're atheist.

Yeah, difference of agnostic and atheist is a really blurry line and most people are confused by it. Most people think atheist = believes god does not exist, which can be true for a specific atheist but is not necessarily true for all atheist. Atheism is actually quite a large category that can encompass many different things (including agnosticism).

There is so much confusion about the terms "atheism" and "God" that it makes it almost impossible to debate with one another. You need to have well defined definitions in order to make any sort of logical argument, and if people are using different definitions than one another it makes the argument worthless.

Except if evolution were true, people would be half monkeys today, because regardless of how long that time takes, there would be primates evolving even now. Gotta love how it's a 'theory' and people are all crazed for it.

That's not how evolution works.

Bleh no edit, typos ftw. "regardless how much time that it takes" is how that should have read. Grammar ftw!

So monkeys didn't evolve to humans via evolution?

Microevolution > Macroevolution

Anyone who looks at a human being and doesnt see how close we are with monkeys and apes needs to remove their ideological blinders.
