Question

If Atheists say "If I don't see it I don't believe it" then does that mean if you don't see a hurricane then it didn't happen at all? and if you say others told you about it but it wasn't on the news then isn't that the same concept as many people tell you there is a God and his son died on a cross but you don't believe it

I am just trying to mak a point please no rude comments

Answer 1

well here's a point for you. If i was told a hurricane happened and i go over to the site and nothing is destroyed, i don't believe it. But even believing a hurricane without evidence of destruction is more reasonable than believing that someone died for you and rose again from the dead because unlike hurricanes, i have never seen anyone rise from the dead. It's going to need some real proof like personally seeing the guy myself.
By the way, while you are on your fact finding mission on atheism, why don't you investigate the religion you are using to make life decisions and choices. How about looking into the history of this great god and what he has done FOR YOU and others in the past. That would be a more beneficial homework for you

Answer 2

If you're trying to make a point, you didn't do a very good job. We don't simply say "If I don't see it, I don't believe it." We say that if there's no actual evidence of it, then there's no reason to believe it. We don't need to see the hurricane to know that the hurricane happened. We know that there is evidence to prove the hurricane happened. However, if the only evidence that you have is the stories about it by people who believe in it, then that isn't real evidence.

Answer 3

So, what, you're saying that even though I personally didn't witness Katrina, it didn't happen? That's a bit of a stretch. What we actually say is, there is no real, tangible evidence of God, so how can we believe it?

And sorry, but seeing the effects of a natural disaster on tv is VERY different from some random person trying to tell me a guy from a book really does exist.

Answer 4

Belief shapes your choices - if you believe carrots are of the devil you'll avoid carrots and eat celery. If you believe that glowing green substance someone hands you is gatorade, and indeed it's industrial radioactive waste from a nuclear power plant, you'll die promptly. You suffer the consequences of your choices regardless if you have pre-knowledge of the effect or not. Hence that's called learning through mistakes or pain. Those who's beliefs are in alignment with Universal Law and truth find their life more pleasant, easy, and positive. Those that don't experience pain until they come around. Pain takes many forms, and the most common thing people do is mask pain and pretent to be happy.

Answer 5

You misunderstand. They say if they can't see proof of it they don't believe it. Even with out the news there are recording with VISUALS, there is a place that has been destructed. There is proof, therefore they believe. It's not about seeing as much as its about proof.
Now if they lived 2000 years ago, you might have an arguement here. They could have gone and saw him or gone to places and directly spoken to him. Then again they would have to believe of his God first. So you still sort of have no arguement here.

Answer 6

I can go down to the hurricane destruction and see it. It is then real. Until then it is just a story.

Answer 7

Hilarious! We have the experience of previous hurricanes. They are measurable and can be observed. Your god isn't.
Do you think that even nearly equates?

Answer 8

Why don't you believe in Zeus, Odin, Isis, or any of the other thousands of gods?

Answer 9

But you can see a hurricane unless your blind, then you can hear it unless your deft, then you can smell it unless you are scentless,then you can feel it unless you are numb, then you must be dead and could care less.
