Atheism isn't a belief?

This is the exact dedfinition crashfrog said he used:quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
n 1: the doctrine or belief that there is no God [syn: godlessness] [ant: theism] 2: a lack of belief in the existence of God or gods
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------So which is it a belief or disbelief?crashfrog do you believe a God doesn't exist?So I believe that the world is round. It may still be a fact but I still believe it.Atheism is just an opinion that can't be proven or disproven.
Yet atheism isn't a belief?Ok, it's a disbelief.Yet I don't get it.You believe a God exists. You believe the world is billions of years old.Yet you don't believe there isn't a God?Huh.So what is it.All of our convictions are beliefs, right? I'm getting a headache typing this.Some help me and explain why it isn't a personal belief, that you don't believe in God.Man I swear, if I talked with crashfrog in real life I would be able to sort this out easy. But when this shit is typed it's soo tricky and puzzling and anyone can make any convuluted statement seem
logical.Someone please explain this to me before I die from this headache.Thank you.ps: I'd like to thank Lam for making comments about me.
And Jar for closing it so abruptly. When it was/is an important discussion.I apologize in advance for cursing.This message has been edited by Chris Porteus, 08-16-2005 09:40 PMThis message has been edited by Chris Porteus, 08-16-2005 09:56 PM

It says a belief and then it says a lack of a belief?

Alternative meanings for the same word?It says a belief or doctrine then it says a disbelief.So I am guessing the first atheism isn't the atheism crashfrog expresses.
