Proof for being an atheist

RE: Proof for being an atheist
Nope. And some animals eat their own poop. Luckily, we are humans and are capable of functioning at a much higher level.

Stop trying to be deep. It isn't working.

The title is an an example of bad syntax. That's always a bad sign.

Proof that you are an atheist too.... Because I don't believe that your "atheism" was not created by human eyes, human ears, human stupidity.... I believe, to the contrary, that your atheism was created around the 1900's, that it's a new upstart to the world of "fiction"; that you have never been more than a disbeliever.....

What you apparently mean is can you prove you are an atheist?

My answer is why should I bother? I know that I don't believe in any gods by consulting my own mind. Whether you believe me is not of any real moment.

Well that decides it doesn't it? You believe I'm an atheist. Oh wait----there's more definitional madness to follow:

You cannot give to charity (or at least I wouldn't want you to), you cannot base your beliefs on the faith in your beliefs which beg for your positive contribution to the world. The world begs you for love. Heart  Give it or else!

You wouldn't want me to give to charity? Selfish of you and hardly my worry. I do give to charity, though you might not like all the particular causes I choose. I give to individuals too from time to time. Charity is not dependent on faith. It's dependent on empathy in my case.

Wait a minute, you just said that you believed I don't believe in god. That's game set match. I'm an atheist.

(October 19, 2015 at 11:03 am)JBrentonK Wrote: Or are you just coming to that conclusion due to some sorting out of the theories? Well, the good news is, if I'm right, and there is no proof for atheism (and all of it's bad fundamentalisms), you can still be a valuable part of your beliefs. All you'd have to do is act them, and then again, that is all you'd be forced to do. To start being contributive. To start a conversation and contribute to it's positive gain, to converse with friends or neighbors and be an actual, productive citizen during the process....

There is no proof that there is no god, though there is very good evidence that most of the things in the OT didn't happen. What there is a decided lack of is evidence for god. That in itself is enough reason not to believe. Do you find it necessary to disprove dragons, unicorns, vampires, esp, etc.?

I'm an atheist. You are a little nuts.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Why? Being neurotic with paranoid impulses isn't against the rules. Far as I know.

Back to the bad syntax.  Thankfully, like hopefully, is an adverb.  What you mean is you are thankful that god is not a non existing proposition.  It would be clearer to just say I'm glad god is an existing proposition. 

And god is an existing proposition.  But he just happens to be a proposition lacking any substantially persuasive evidence.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

From some people, I take that as a compliment. Tongue
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

RE: Proof for being an atheist
This thread just shows once again the wisdom of Jefferson's words on the Trinity:

"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus."

Notice, Jenny takes the time to make a thoughtful reply, only to be met with the OP's retort of "dim-wittedness". Hence, there is no value in responding to dipshits such as Randy/JBrentonK/et al.

The OP is not here to have a dialogue, but to enflame. The OP is a pure troll without merit or worthy of anything other than ridicule, scorn and after sufficient tortures, banning.

Don't mind me -- it's the pancakes speaking. Channeling I am.
