Spendulus was saying that sometimes it is beneficial to have heuristics, especially during times of "fight-or-flight".

BADecker joked about it, which I think is hilarious XD

Ok, though I'm still not sure how having or not having heuristics is applied to what I said xD

Don't worry about it, what you said was absolutely correct

Well, I guess that works for me, lolz xD

Put it this way. We could discuss the philosophical matter of improperly stereotyping. While running...

Or we could just run Grin

For athiest there is no God ,everthing is creation or the existance with cause and effect.We create our own heaven or hell,not in hereafter ,but on earth,in our lifetime by the compassion we give our fellow beings and which we receive in return.
His thinking is free from all the prejudices and fear created by the flagbearers of different religions fundamentalists and not influenced by any relgion and beyond its restrictions.His only holy sacrament is compassion because he recognizes that the individual life is precious to him and accord the same value to the life of all other beings including beings who opposes our religions and political belief. Do you agree?

Not really.Check Jordan Peterson.

Profiling people into one basket such as "atheist", "christian", "muslim", etc. is wrong on so many levels.....

Honestly, labeling like that says more about the labeler -.-

If you and I are ever walking down a dark downtown street and there's a couple guys up ahead, and I whisper, "Those guys look like bad news. Let's go this other way. Fast!"

My suggestion if you want to stay alive is not to start talking about baskets....

I'd hope you would be saying that cause they are criminals or something of the sort. Their religion is irrelevant.

Christian criminal and muslim criminal is the same, cause only the "criminal" part matters.

Now if you weren't talking about that, I have no idea what you wanted to say xD

Of course, they were saying the same thing about you two. Did you meet them somewhere, again, the other way that you went?

Thank you Kiir

These are just terms, even for pet preferences there are labels such as he's a "cat person" or she's a "dog person" etc.

We use terms for specific meanings, please don't feel bad about it. It is just to make us understand each other easier.

Yeah, I get it. It can help, case by case basis. I guess some humans tend to ruin everything, even "neutral labeling" xD

Very true

Well, perhaps you, sir, are talking like that and that's a healthy view imho.

On the other hand, if I had to bet, I'd say the majority doesn't seperate those things so well as you do.

Why names for such things, btw?

I don't believe in God, but I'm open to possibilites, hell even "God", too.
I'd need some proof, ofc, but that's not the point.

Why label me "atheist" or "agnostic" or whatever the term is for "my case"? xD

If I say "I don't like dogs" (I do, cats too, most animals, really xD) I wouldn't be called "Doesn't like dogs person" xD

When we speak of an "atheist", we are not making generalizations. We are saying that he/she does not believe in an intelligent creator of this universe. That is the entirety of the definition. No more generalization can be made. Atheists can range from kind, loving people to deranged serial killers. So are theists, they can also range from kind, loving people to serial killers as well.
