I see what you mean Balla, being a modern atheist means god is a "non-issue" and it doesn't even play a role in their behavior and that "belief" just isn't there. However, I still feel it's a belief, especially how it's being played out now in modern society, so we can substitute apathy for belief in this case, to make both our arguments more sound?

Atheists are apathetic to the existence of a god, although many believe that there is no god, there are others who are apathetic on the subject.

Beliefs don't have to be religious either Con. I believe that trees are here because I see them, I don't question the fact that that tree is there or not because I can observe, touch, view it, therefore I believe in it. I believe, in a very biased way, that Halo is/was one of the best games ever created.

Belief: merriam websters this time, not dictionary.com

"1 : a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing
2 : something believed; especially : a tenet or body of tenets held by a group
3 : conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence"

So you two are right, and sound, ok, so it's not a belief persay (although i would still argue that in a paper), so what do you believe in? scientific inquiry over religious dogma?
I believe that whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you.....

Nah, the only thing I know, is that I know nothing. I believe in evidence based beliefs. So yes, I believe the scientific method to be the best system we can use to obtain truths, or as near to truths as we can get. The things I don't usually apply the method to are philosophical questions or common sense things, like is the sky really blue, does my chair really exist, what is the sound of purple? Those questions are illegitimate to me, because they do not have an answer. In that regard I'm agnostic.. I guess.

Same here, I know nothing. Those questions are great to ask though, I value them. It's those questions which helped spawn scientific thought, and for only that reason I enjoy them. And by virtue of the scientific method, we require work and duration in order to find a suitable "answer", so the answers may not exist yet but if they did how would they be used, could they be used, etc, etc. Otherwise, nah, just gets in the "way". I want to be an academic philosopher but more on the science side of things, working with neuroscientists, psychologists, programmers, computer techs, etc. But I shall always defend philosophy...so ya lol

Oh, and by definition of being human, we're already crazy apes!

hitler and stalin both had mustaches, does that mean people with mustaches are mass murderers?
