  • "there is no god" is definitely a claim. It can be falsified with evidence (in theory. I don't think such evidence exists).

    Perhaps you mean "I don't believe there's a god" or "I haven't seen evidence to convince me there's a god"? Those aren't claims. Those can't be falsified. They're opinions based on evaluation of evidence.

    But we're quibbling over minutia at this point.

  • For example many people think that "there's no gods, and theistic religions are harmful to our society"

    The claim is not "there is no god".

    I don't know that to tell you. This seems internally inconsistent.

  • Absence of evidence is weak evidence of absence. Not strong.

  • This is very stupid way to put it

    You have no evidence of no god.

    You could disprove specific religions making specific claims, sure. But to say there is no god anywhere in the universe of any sort? That is not a claim you can prove.

    Now if you want to reframe antitheists as anti-specific theology on Earth, then what you say makes sense. But you can't both propose a new definition mid-conversation, and then argue that my statement that was based on the first definition is stupid because you're using the second.

    Wait, they can??

    Must not be a large burden to bear.

  • Can you link me to something authoritative that shows that atheism makes the Positive Claim that "there is no god"? I've never seen that, and it seems wrong.

    Here's my counter reference:

    https://www.atheists.org/activism/resources/about-atheism/

    "Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. "

  • Atheism doesn't make any positive claims. It doesn't claim to know there is no god. That's anti-theist.

    Atheism makes the negative claim of: none of your god claims has sufficient evidence, therefore I don't believe them.

    Now, individual atheists themselves can say and do whatever. That's on them.

  • Agnostics are "I don't know, probably not. It's impossible to know.".

    Atheists are "I don't think there's a god, there's no proof".

    Anti-theists are "there is definitely no god", and they have just as much evidence as believers.

  • The setup doesn't match the punchline. How about "I don't know how to cook or eat vegan". Then the twist is about the misunderstanding between the food and the people.

    Otherwise it just looks like "haha kill the idiots"

  • Self-hosted voice assistant with mobile app

    Jump

  • It's gotten better. Which is to say, it's almost feature compatible with the old assistant. But you can also give it context. So for example, if you say "remind me X", you can get it to automatically remind you tomorrow with an alert at 9am, unless you specify a different time. And it's ok if you screw up the phrasing a bit.

    But DIY is infinitely better. If you have the resources.

  • I was having the same internal struggle. But I've landed on

    iSP -> ISP router -> my new firewall -> home router

    It's way simpler that way and basically the same benefit.

  • We have four sets of fine china in our basement, from various grandparents passing. We also got one for our wedding. One day I'm going to pass them all to my kids.

    I'm hoping that one day society collapses under the burden of guilt ridden plates.
