I mean we cant see it,we cant smell it,lets see.....litsening.....cant hear it.We cant seem to percieve it in anyway.
So by reason of emperical evidence, you dont have a brain.How do we know you dont have marshmellows inside your skull?Or that aliens from a distant planet is feeding information to say?Or maybe like a robot you have wires and circuits for brains possible?
We are not able to percieve if there is a brain inside ya'll head,so technically we must conclude ya'll have no brains right?
Oh wait!We could get an electric saw and open your skull.Oh,but if we did that and you did have brains,that would kill you. So were back at square 1;no way to confirm you have brains.
So how do we confirm ya'll have brains?Surely you wouldnt say that we just have to trust you.That we just have to have faith.Ya'll wouldnt say that right?But you would agree that since we cant saw open your skull and see;the only conclusion is ya'll have no brains right?This conclusion is right isnt it?

Amusing question deserves an amusing answer, too bad I'm not witty enough to come up with one.
I understand your point, however it is flawed. First, the same standard could be applied to theists. How do we know theists have brains? As in your atheist example, we cannot open the skull of a theist without great medical risk. So how can we observe that theists have brains?
Even though we can find evidence of a brain using various technologies like X-rays, MRIs, EEGs, lets suppose for a moment those technologies weren't available. We would still conclude that both theists and atheists have brains because humans have brains, and atheists and theists are both humans. Also other mammals have brains, so the exception would be not having a brain.
Ok, I'm tiring of answering this question, but I like it because it is at least amusing.

Just because you don't use your brain, doesn't mean it does not exist. I like to use mine, and have lots of empirical evidence that it is working fine. I even have brain scans of living brains working on different senses and stimulation's to guide me in where in my own head the activities are happening.
I have data from dissected brains, which proves that evolution put three separate brains into our heads, you too. And I know that one of these days, you are going to feel so damn dumb, you wont be able to think away a stupid argument to help you. On the other hand, I, by actually using my brain in an exploratory way, should with luck, be enjoying healthy conversations with other open minded folks for the next forty years.

Coming from a person who isn't Atheist, YOU are the one who doesn't have any brains! If you had any brains, you would know that everybody have their own beliefs and values (religious or not), and while you don't agree with them, it's not in your place to be so judgmental to ridicule people for being themselves and for believing what they believe in. So, you have two options here: You can either accept the fact that everybody has their own unique values that you don't have any right to ridicule or change, or you can just keep your mouth shut. I'd recommend you do both. Have a nice day.

You can be confident that atheists have brains, because anatomically they are exactly like all other humans, and every human whose head we have ever opened has had a brain in it.
Every person we have ever actually seen die, has stayed dead, too, so I think we can say with some confidence that stories about people "rising from the dead" are just that; stories.
(And the correct contraction of 'you all' is "y'all", not "ya'll". If you had a brain you might know that! LOL!)

If your a Christian you sure shouldn't be talking like this...
PLEASE all you who are atheists don't think that all Christians are this ignorant and rude !
I refuse to let someone like this represent the Good Christians out there.
We should all show each other mutual respect, this it completely uncalled for !
I respect the opinions of others who don't believe the same as I, and we should not let someone like this make others think we are all the same way.....
You need to pray about you tolerance towards others. This is the worst remark I have ever heard from a so called Christian and you should be ashamed of yourself !

What's up with the trolls today? Nobody could be that ignorant.
We use our brains to think with. There are devices that show them to us. Every day, lives are saved by doctors opening skulls and healing brains.
A little more evidence than your invisible guy who's conveniently impossible to observe.

Firstly I'm not an Atheist. But I think your questions will get you nowhere, AND the Atheist will go nowhere too because their lives end here too (somewhere their brain, unless they believe in something). And some people will go far beyond this world, such as eternal life.... PEACE and LOVE (hopefully no misspellings...)

Why would you question something so empirically proven by billions of autopsies. Maybe you should familiarize yourself with X-ray technology. It might save you the trouble of wondering if you actually have a brain.

im agnostic myself, but didnt jesus say "judge not lest ye be judged?"
atheists who attack the religious and the religious who attack the atheists need to settle the frick down...
to the pissed off religious: so what if someone else dosnt believe in god? hell, there are billions of others who dont believe in your own version of god...so y attack those that simply believe he dosnt exhist? if you really are the better person, then let those who have wandered from religion be! not everyone agrees...thats y there are so many different religions...

The same can be asked about you and God you don't see him you can't touch him but because a book says he's real you believe it. Come on, don't down someone for their feelings in life. I myself am not an atheists but I would never put someone down for what they believe or not. It's not very christian like for you to do so either.
