You mean like: Who am I? Why am I here? How should I live my life?

I don't know about you but those seem like the only questions that really matter. If there are no such things (no evidence, right?) as personal identity, purpose, or values then I guess you're right.

Where is your evidence for personal identity?
Where is your evidence for human equality?
Where is your evidence that intentions exist?

Hmmm...suddenly doesn't seem so simple, does it?  Thinking
If we were trying to convince you that believing those things is correct, you might have a point. If you aren't convinced that intentions exist from your direct experience, why should we bother with you? You on the other hand seem quite intent on getting us to agree with you...perhaps your thing is not like those things.

1) If you're asking that you've got bigger problems...
2) When a mummy and a daddy love each other very much...
3) You're born, you work, you die, everything else is a luxury.

Thank you. When I was an atheist I would have agreed with you entirely. There is no free lunch. The lack of belief in God may not be a positive claim* but that lack of belief creates a big gaping hole drawing into it lots of other beliefs. I don't think many AF members have taken atheism to its bleak logical extreme such as you apparently have. I respect your intellectual honesty.

*In one trivial sense I suppose that's true, but not in the sense that truly matters.

That makes them perverts too.

So you don't think 'jesus' ever gave it to Mary Magdalene up the ass, huh?

Scripture is silent on that.

What does that have to do with evidence for gods?

Stay on point, Chad -- when you deflect, you demonstrate the weakness of your position; especially when you have to impute views, or make invalid comparisons, as you've done here.

It's perfectly simple to me: the Christian god completely and entirely lacks evidence. Feel free to demonstrate this wrong by, uh, y'know, presenting evidence, rather than arguments.

You're using an Argument from Silence?

How quaint.
