(13,485 posts)flattering yourself it seems. If all you have are replies and recs to bolster your point you must be feeling under some pressure to prove it. You should. Considerably more than half the replies are negative toward your position either in part or completely dismissing it. Many of the recs are DUrs that like to push against atheists whenever they get the chance. Many others are rec'ing because they are supporting Warren's argument since it's a worthy and necessary position to argue.
As far as claiming to be atheist, just the fact that you keep repeating, "I am an Atheist" shows you don't really know what atheist means, you don't have a reasonable grasp of the language, or you're not atheist at all. When you say, "I am an Atheist" you are saying you belong to some organized religion, church, sect, or a named group.. Do you? Maybe, The Church of Atheism or the like? You either do or you don't know what you're talking about. If you're trying to say that you don't believe in a deity then you should be saying, "I am atheist". No capital A, no an, just I am non-theist... atheist.
But go ahead, flatter yourself if it makes you feel better. Or maybe try some of that "always doing good for people" stuff that you tout but so far show no sign of actually being able to do.
Don't be hard on yourself though... I also rec'd your OP.
