The trouble with apatheism

[Nearly Sane]

Of course there is. Religion is a non subject for them.In a world with religion they must take physical no intellectual steps to keep themselves religion free.
They must be moving swiftly on.

Knitting is not a non subject for me. I just don't take an interest in it. And again religion is not equal to theism. There are religious atheists, and non religious theists. You addressed nothing about what my post said.

Equating knitting with world views, eh, Sane.

Now tell me again why we should be interested in your threads concerning the SNP, Brexit, feminism and gay rights?

I doubt that he's told us why for the first time, or expects us to be necessarily.

In terms of whether someone is interested in something, then knitting is like world views, and everything else. I see you ignored the rest of the post about your ongoing confusion of theism and religion, why?


And I have no idea what your second sentence has to do with this discussion. If someone is interested in any of those topics then fine. It's a very narrow selection of the topics I do post threads on though, why was that?

Vladdo,

I suppose we're we to find an actual apatheist we could get a better understanding. Even then Hillside would pop up to veto any definition and tell apatheists at they were REALLY ABOUT.

That’s daft. “Hillside” would only “pop up” if you got your representation of it as wrong as you get wrong your representation of pretty much everything else. A few posts ago for example you said, “To remain an apatheist you must turn away from any discussion on religion”. That’s wrong – an apatheist might well discuss it as a debating exercise, but he doesn’t care either way about the outcome (ie, whether there are god(s) or not).

That's a bit borderline since why would an apatheist even bother with a debate on it?
Sounds like you are being a bit definitionally imperialistic.......trying to enlist them into the broad church of Hillsidian atheism.

Why he might do that is irrelevant – the fact that he might and still be an apatheist is enough to correct your previous mis-statement that the apatheist "must turn away from any discussion on religion". He might choose to do that, but there's no "must" about it.

There’s nothing “defintionally imperialistic” about correcting your error, and it has nothing to do with my atheism either.
