Answer 1

do not go into a cage with lions and roar at them and tell them they must not bite you

Answer 2

First, you have to define the term "God." The problem with most theists is that this term is a moving target.

In addition, because there is no evidence either for or against the existence of God, you cannot use deductive logic (a+b=c; therefore c-b=a). You can only reach a conclusion by inductive reasoning using the balance of evidence (90% of A is also B; C is B, so the chances are 90% that C is also A).

So to begin with, I will assert (and others may shoot this down) that the only RELEVANT definition of God states that GOD INTERVENES TO CIRCUMVENT NATURAL LAWS.

If God circumvents natural laws, then it becomes impossible to understand natural laws. All scientific findings would have to include the stipulation, "It is also possible that these results are an act of God, a miracle, thereby making our research meaningless."

However, we have been able to expand our knowledge of natural laws (evidenced by every appliance in your kitchen). Therefore, because the scientific method leads to applicable discoveries, and the likely conclusion is that God, at least the intervening kind, does not exist.

Additionally, if God is defined as all loving, all powerful, and all knowing, then it is impossible to explain suffering. Either God is not all loving (he acts sadistically), not all powerful (he cannot prevent suffering), or not all knowing (he created suffering by mistake because he didn't know the consequences of his actions). A God who is not all-loving, all-powerful or all-knowing is also not sufficient for the definition of God, because any God that fails to meet these criteria becomes bound by rules that are greater than God.

If God is bound by external rules and/or does not intervene in our existence, then God is either non-existent or irrelevant. The classic Bertrand Russell argument is that I cannot prove that a china teapot is orbiting the sun between the earth's orbit and Mars. But while I cannot prove this is not true, the evidence against it is compelling.

The evidence against God is equally compelling, and while it is not possible to prove beyond any doubt, it makes enormously more sense to live your life as if there were no God.

It is more compelling to me that humans have invented God (a) to help people deal with the pain and fear associated with death and loss, and (b) to reflect the thoughts of the ruling powers in a particular time. Humans are always searching for explanations. When none were found, it was the natural inclination to declare that the cause of the unexplained was "God" (or gods). As the faith grew, miracles (coincidences) and laws were ascribed to this Divinity, and an orthodoxy grew up around it.

Now it seems unhelpful to believe in such superstition. The only matters that aid in our ongoing well-being are work, location, health, sustenance, and pure, blind luck.

So that is why I'm an atheist. However, I have serious doubts you will even read (and much more serious doubts that you will understand) this essay.

Answer 3

There is no way I can prove to you I do not believe in god. Even more to the point, I am under no obligation to prove it to you. If you choose to be ignorant by insisting that there is no such thing as an atheist, that's your problem, not mine.

Answer 4

Just goes to show how people like you bury your head when confronted with reality, your imaginary beliefs don't count for much in the real world. An atheist doesn't have to hold a belief that there is no God, it is enough simply to not share the theists belief that there is a God to be atheist.

You should say "an atheist" not "a atheist" by the way.

Answer 5

Are you really a theist child or a troll (non-theist pretending to be a believer to make them look bad)?

Is English your primary language? At least you spelled Atheist correctly. Too bad you do not know how to use the article "an". Apparently you dropped all your periods to the end of your paragraph as well (they left commas behind by mistake).

Answer 6

How can you prove that you don't believe in something? By actions? I doubt any actions I take would convince you and probably would just offend you.

Can you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that its impossible to not believe in a god? How about proving you believe in god?

Answer 7

How is it impossible to not believe in a God?


Just because you can't imagine it, doesn't mean it does not exist.

I for one find it hard to believe in a God anywhere when there is so much evil and suffering in this world.

What kind of God is it that allows so much genocide, war, and sickness?

Answer 8

You didn't believe in a god when you were a baby either.

And I frankly think that this is just another way of living in denial. So if it helps you sleep, go for it. But you are wrong.

Answer 9

I say I'm an atheist.

You say I'm not.

Which god is it you claim I believe in? Freya? The Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Answer 10

Feel better? That was such a cute little diatribe.

Hey, at least you spelled atheist correctly.

Answer 11

Is there a question anywhere in this ranting? Why would someone have to prove their faith to you? That would be like you proving that Jesus was the son of G-d without using a Bible.
