Why do atheist think that their dogma "I know there is no God" is true?

Question

I really know what a dogma means it means a truth of faith.
I applied it on atheism since that faith also has dogmas.

You must have found a faulty lexicon.

Of course a dogma is also a statement about a truth of faith.

The Atheist dogma "There is no God" is totally unsupported by evidence.

The Atheist statement of their belief "There is no God" is not supported by reason.

Answer 1

Why does anyone believe things to be true? Why do you believe your dogma that "I know there is a God" is true?

I'm an atheist because reason has led me to the conclusion that there is almost certainly no God. But I take issue with your use of the word "dogma" (as so many have done). I am ready to conceive of the possibility of there being a God of some sort – I think that the possibility is very small indeed, but as a scientist, I don't feel that it would be intellectually honest to deny it categorically (any more than it would be intellectually honest to deny categorically that there are no invisible unicorns). I think this is true of most atheists, in fact.

Answer 2

You obviously don't know what the word "dogma" means.
Yet you still try and look smart by using it.
But in the end, it just makes you look all the more stupid to people who do understand the english language.

No, dogma is a statement of faith.
Dogma is unsupported by evidence or reason.
Atheists depend entirely on evidence and reason, therefore: "No dogma".

Now, you were saying....?

Typical fundy. You don't "get it", so you'll make things up and twist things around until you kinda "look" like you're right.
Disbelief doesn't have to be supported by evidence.
Must I show you evidence that the tooth fairy doesn't exist just because I don't believe it does?
If your god exists and you want laws in his name, then YOU have to come up with evidence, not me.
But you have no evidence, only dogma. And that just isn't good enough.

Answer 3

First, it isn't a dogma. Second, properly speaking atheists would have to say, that belief in a God is false, not the absence of a God is true. Although they are inverses, affirmative statements cannot be shown to be true, only false.

Second, I think you need to go back to the idea of Bayes Law and to borrow from game theory for the idea of a weakly perfect Bayesian Nash Equilibrium. When searching for Bayesian equilibriums in game theory, it is common to come upon 0/0 problems. Proving or disproving God would tend to be a 0/0 problem. However, there is a simple mathematical workaround that comes out of limit theory, from which calculus derives.

Assuming you have not taken calculus, a derivative is the estimate of a slope at a precise point. In algebra, a slope (m) is equal to the rise divided by the run or m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1). At a specific point x2=x1 so x2-x1=0 and so m is undefined.

Limit theory finds a value infinitely close, but not identical, to the point in question and so x2<>x1 but does tend to equal zero the closer you get.

Using these ideas of limits, you can resolve the Bayesian problem relating to God.

You can look at the scientific data and the observed reality and ask how probable or improbable the existence of a God is, given the observed factual data. God comes in as a near zero. It is impossible to disprove God without limit theory, but it is possible to discredit God to any reasonable person who doesn't want a specific answer by simply looking at the Universe and the physical laws.

Answer 4

I have no dogma. I have no sayings other than "If you can't prove that there is a god, but we found DNA in cells, then religion is therefore defunct".

Whoa, hold the phone... Atheism is NOT a faith. Get that form of thinking out of your head.

Answer 5

See, all they know is what other men can tell them or what other men can scientifically prove to them, so they have made other men the Gods.. I personally do not trust man enough to put all my faith in him. It is like a science book is the bible and Carl Sagan is God, Carl Sagan says no proof of God, so he must be right. But they do not even try to go to the source which is what God wants.

Answer 6

I will answer in spite of your awkward phraseology. Atheists have multiple reasons/explanations for disbelief, just as theists have multiple reasons/explanations for belief. It's as easy as that.

Edit: Atheism is a faith?

Answer 7

I am an atheist you believe what you want & I will believe in getting on with life.Good Luck

Answer 8

There is not one single shred of evidence to show the existance of a god.

Answer 9

You're sadly confused.

Answer 10

because thy don't want to answer to anyone
