Skeptics are invited to admit which apologetic seems most reasonable (even if they do not sway you) and critique the least valid objections. So I’ll start…
IMO the weakest apologetic is Pascal’s wager since it relies entirely on a specific cultural context.
IMO the most reasonable objection comes from Kant. He proposes that ‘being’ is not a proper predicate and therefore the saying that God’s essence is the same as His existence is problematic.
Neo-Scholastic,
First thing, you forgot to use the term ATHEIST instead of “skeptic.”
There are no weak positions supporting Atheism, and there’re no strong arguments against it. Haven’t you read the foundation of pseudo-christianity, the bible? Get it?
Regarding Pascal’s Wager, and the inept mind that masturbates itself into following this insidious proposition, one must therefore think that if the Yahweh god of Christianity does exist, then what does this god think of the person that only takes this position to cover their bets of a glorious afterlife! Laughable.
The easiest argument for Atheism is for one to actually read ALL of the primitive Bronze and Iron Age bible, whereas in the 21st century, one sees a pagan god that is greedy, jealous, selfish, self-centered, petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, serial killer of innocents, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capricious, and malevolent!
Christianity and the bible DO NOT belong in the 21st century, but should have been left behind where they belong, in the Bronze and Iron Age of mythical god concepts and primitive thinking.
