  • Yes, I’m on one side, with dictionaries, etymology, and the majority of atheists, and you’re on the other side. I would agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.

    Google:

    noun: atheism. disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

    Gnostic - adjective. relating to knowledge, especially esoteric mystical knowledge.

    Me:

    Theism is belief in a god, atheism is a lack of belief. Atheism is not necessarily a belief that god does not exist.

    Gnostic is about knowledge and not belief






  • Atheism is the belief that there are no gods and out right rejection in the belief of any gods.

    No, not quite. Atheism is not believing in a god, it doesn’t mean you claim there is not a god. A subtle difference, but it is the difference between not believing, and believing not. Also, agnosticism isn’t a middle ground between theism and atheism, there is no middle ground, as it is dichotomous. Agnosticism speaks to knowledge, or what you claim to know. So, a person could be an agnostic atheist, or an agnostic theist.















  • Legally, you do. You may not like it but that’s how it works.

    I’m an attorney, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    My argument isn’t about how it should be. People should be decent. They often aren’t. My statement is about the legal implications of the decision. Breasts either remain sexual which means all naughty bits are on the table or… they aren’t and are legally no different than any other nonsexual thing.

    This isn’t how sexual harassment is determined at all. Nothing you’ve said has any connection to reality.

    Can you take someone to court for looking at your legs? Sure. Will it have a good chance of success? No.

    YES! If you’re in a workplace and that behavior is happening and it consistent, it is a hostile work environment. It would be no different if the unwanted attention was on a leg, an arm, or a breast.
