[quote name="jdfrenchbread23"]but quiet atheists still dont believe in god right? thats not a choice? lol this is making my head hurt but i get what you guys are saying
I guess what comes down to is where you fall. if you believe, to you an atheist is actively choosing not to believe and vice versa.[/quote]First, I definitely appreciate you trying to understand.
Second, 'actively not believing' is combining 2 things that don't really combine.
Being active is a personality trait.
Not believing has nothing to do with it.
I don't consider sea manup an atheist because he's actively saying so. I consider him an atheist because he doesn't believe in the god concept.
The end.
And separately, I also consider him vocal, about the Lakers, about religion, etc.
