ethics of "laziness and carelessness".

have you learned from on this board? What have you done to "constantly seek after truth", rather than close yourself off from points of view that disturb your preconceived notions too severely?

Are you constantly seeking truth? In what ways has participating in this forum altered your preconceived notions?

The article was addressing believers, but surely even atheists spend time reflecting on what they believe and why they beleive it. Or is atheism by rote a norm?

about constantly seeking after truth, now am I? Let the person who did prove they're not a hypocrite.

And if you think atheism happens by rote, you understand even less than I thought.

Is there some drive within you that requires you to mischaracterized what those with differing views say?

You know I never claimed you said that, don't you? I said (if you need your memory refreshed) that IF you think that atheism happens by rote, your understanding is very poor. IF. You do comprehend the implication of that word, don't you? Since you asked "is atheism by rote a norm?", one might conclude that you're deeply confused on that point.

Is that your question clearly indicated that you thought atheism MIGHT happen by rote. The fact that you even needed to ask the question, that you even considered that both cases were reasonable possibilities, is the point.

But keep squirming. You do it so well.
