About atheism

Even if you have almost complete 100% possibility on atheistic side that thare is no God, its still is only almost. There is a very tiny possibility. But you just squash it your mind and say something as arrogant as "its a fact".

There's a possibility that there's a set of exquisite small pink tea cups on the far side of jupitor, put there by a race of wrestle mania loving blob aliens who evolved the ability to fly on a planet just off proxima century.
I would say that this is unlikely.
More likely though than the existence of a god. 
So until the blob people are proven to be a thing, that they have access to TV and that they are prone to random crockery dumping I will not believe the tea cups are there.
Same with god

If you read all of that PP and still stick with your previous statement, you're either a troll or someone utterly unable/unwilling to learn or adapt. That is what we mean by these terms.

We do have some forum regulars who still don't understand it, though.

Evidence might never arrive in our lifetime. Its not like anyone is actively wasting money in science just to find God, nobody will give money for those fairly tales.

Did you read my article? Did you learn anything?

But they used to. It's why you had so many vicars doing science back in the 1800s, they were "revealing gods works".
Until they discovered that the more they looked the less the things they discovered tied in with the bible. Then they discovered the phrase "non-overlapping magesteria" meaning that god worked in a way incompatible with science. There is however, a problem with this view, its bollocks.

PP, why would you say that? Nearly all the atheists I know are agnostic. That means that they are open minded to the possibility of the existence of a god.
How and why would we deny the existence of a god if it was proven to exist? Only a madman would do that! Of course, the inverse is also true. Only a madman would believe and worship and dedicate his life around a God which apparently doesn't exist at all as best we can determine. Unless of course, he spoke to you personally. And then you'll need to prove to us first that you weren't just talking to yourself...

A lot of us are apatheists; we don't give much of a fuck whether there is a god or not, besides scientific curiosity. It makes no real difference, especially while we know nothing about it.

Trying to "find god" is a ludicrous concept. No one can even say what it is. We wouldn't know it if we found it.

All supernatural/magical stuff is a good start if it ever will be proven.

Anyway I hope you have a wonderful permenant death. Cheers.

So...

You didn't real my article. You didn't learn anything. And you think beliefs affect reality.

I've tried every reasonable effort to "debate" and now I'm done with you.

I deny the existence of all scripted gods. Their existence doesn't compute with reality as we know it. I'm open for the possibility of a higher intelligence. Not that I believe it exists. But there's still the possibility of it existing.
