Can you prove that you are an atheist, and not just a Christian who is lying?

Question

I am an athe-atheist. I don't believe in atheists. SO PROVE IT

nunovyorebizniz is right, I'm an aatheist. And it isn't funny, but a though provoker for those atheists who ask for proof of that which cannot be proven.

Same atheists (thankfully, not all) start every discussion with something like, "You can't prove God" (or Jesus, or the Bible). The implied assumption is that if you can't, you have proven He isn't. The logic is flawed. Lack of evidence is not evidence.

I had hoped to get some of these to think more deeply by putting the same shoe on their foot. My question implies the same faulty assumption.

Logic is both atheism's basis and it's most powerful weapon. An atheist who begins a discussion with flawed logic ends up unarmed.

Some of you saw the point.

Answer 1

i am an atheist because i don't believe in god.

I'd like to point out that you are using a logical fallacy. you're using the Burden of Proof fallacy, i.e. "Prove that you love your father." it is illogical for you to make me prove my own belief.

Answer 2

In much the same way that a Christian cannot prove they are not an atheist who is lying, only the person making the statement truely knows.

Why would an atheist claim to be Christan? Well, a common reason to hide one's religion is to avoid upsetting family.

Why would a Christian lie and claim to be an atheist, well, in both China and Russia, at various times the governments there persecuted Christinas. In Queensland Australi until a few years ago, it ws a crime to practice witchcraft, which made being Wiccan a criminal offense.

Right now the US backed regime in Afghanistn (just like Saudi Arabia) is persecuting people who change from Moslem to Christian.

Try telling your friends you have become Wiccan and see how they react, you'll discover that there are good reasons even in liberal democratic cultures to sometimes lie about religious affiliation.

ZetaTalk: Who Came First
Note: written Jun 15, 1996

Should a stranger drop into human culture from another world it would be hard to decipher all the protocols and interdependencies without a historical record. Why paper money rather than cloth woven with special threads, and why are some structures square rather than round when most building materials such as rocks, tree stumps, and caves are rounded? Such is the confusion that humans experience when first learning about genetic engineering in their past and seeding planets in general. The genetic engineering practices they learn about do not reflect, on their face, the history of these practices. Was life, at the very beginning, seeded by God, and when did the practice of intelligent groups seeding other planets begin? We, the Service-to-Other Zetas who are talking to you here, do not have all the answers, but we can share our understanding.

Life first begins as a natural result of the processes that occur on all life bearing planets - the warm soup of oceans, filled with the simple genetic components that can and do linkup in an endless variety of combinations. Humans are aware that the DNA on Earth is all composed of four simple building blocks. In other parts of the Universe such components differ from those on Earth, nor is four the magic number. Big bangs occur periodically in this or that section of the Universe, and life forming after a big bang evolves slowly. In that same section of the Universe numerous worlds will eventually produce, during the natural course of evolution, intelligent creatures capable of offering a home to forming entities. Seeding planets and genetic engineering is eventually done within a section of the Universe for the same reasons that human couples long to have children - for more company and the pride that parentage brings. The process of evolution is expedited, bumped from slow motion to fast, and the number of worlds eventually becoming life-bearing planets is increased.

In the section of the Universe to which the Earth is a part, the seeding of planets and migration of reptilian or hominoid life forms has been in place long before our time. We have been told that none of the hominoids currently visiting Earth were the precursor, but rather all are the result of seeding and genetic engineering. Of the many hominoids who contributed to mankind's hominoid structure, none were the base hominoid, which was smaller and more monkey-like than would be expected. In truth, the issue of who started mankind will not be resolved by researching the history of genetic engineering efforts, as every step back opens another history book, and on it goes. Does it matter? Live in the present, which has more puzzles than humans can even begin to address. Live for the future, which will shortly get quite lively.

Answer 4

what an athe-atheist? If you're gonna try to be funny, at least get your prefixes right.

Existentialism tells us that nothing can be proven, you can't prove that you asked this question, or that I'm answering it right now. You can't prove that atheists or Christians exist.

So, no.

Answer 5

well true atheist always tell me they hate god and my response is how can you hate someone that doesnt exist. so the true definition of the word atheist is a person that deep down knows god exist but choose to deny him so they want have any moral responsibilities; therefore they can do any thing they want and not feel guilty.

Answer 6

All I need to prove that I am an atheist is my words. I'm an atheist , so there you go .

Answer 7

Actually, it amuses me to think how insane you must be to really believe something like that. Why would I even want to try to end such low cost quality entertainment?

Answer 8

You don't need to believe in atheists, they just exist. Your belief is irrelevant and unnecessary to our existence, therefore there is nothing to prove.

Answer 9

I am not an atheist. I love God.

Answer 10
