Atheism Destroyed in Under 50 Seconds

[Ace Otana]

Do you act as though there's no God? If so, then under Pragmatism you do deny the existence of God.

How do you deny something you generally don't believe exists? I'm not denying anything. I've rejected the claim that a god exists, that's it. Of course I'm going to live as if there is no god, I've been living that way from as far back as I can remember.

Now that's interesting. Care to explain?

Well you tell me, how does a universe that had a beginning proves the existence of a god?

"Before you add god into the equation you must first demonstrate god's existence"? So you can't even hypothetically consider what 'adding God into the equation' does until you've proved that God, in fact, exists?

Did I say you can't be hypothetical of the idea of a god? No. However before it can be used to explain anything, you do need to establish that said being actually exists and then to go on to demonstrate that this being did in fact create the universe.

"A does not prove B without first proving A." This makes zero sense to me.

I'll make it easier for you. Let's say I asserted that pixies created the universe, it's essentially a non-answer. I haven't demonstrated that pixies even exist yet, let alone demonstrated that they were responsible for the universe. So just like god, you must first demonstrate that this god actually exists before you can use it to suggest or support the claim that he/it created the universe. A does not prove B without first proving A. Or X does not prove Y if you have not demonstrated X to begin with.

If you will, a house without a foundation.
