Must all be proven?

RE: Must all be proven?
Theists can only be grouped as those who believe in a religion god. Personal beliefs of theists vary greatly, and there is no common belief shared by theists. Atheism is not a theory, as there is no supporting evidence. Atheism is just hypothesis.

RE: Must all be proven?
An athiest can believe in god, but athiests do not worship any gods[religion]. If they proved
god[christianity] existed, that would not automatically make everyone be a christian, as alot of people would choose not to worship.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

That's nonsense TBF. Atheism gk 'atheos'= without gods.

Wikipedia Wrote:Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.

Proving God exists is logically impossible.

Given knowledge of God most people choose not to believe.

An atheist can be a Buddhist, and therefore be religious.

To worship requires belief

RE: Must all be proven?
I am very aware god cannot be proven, thats why I am an athiest. But if got came for a visit, that would count as proof would it not? There are many that would not worship god if they knew for sure god existed. having proof of gods existance, and not believing god exists is just as illogical as believing god exists with the current lack of proof. Believing god exists is a requirement of worship to that god, however worship of that god is not required to believe that god exists.

Athiesm is used here and commonly in society as meaning 'not practicing or believing in any religion'. if an entire society consistently misuses the word in the same manner, that words definition is effectivly changed. There are some (I am not one) that do not consider budhism a religion, or as still a part of hinduism for that very reason.

See above links.

Even if evolution could be handed to you on a silver platter, there will still be religion.


P.S I apologize for the short replies. I'm in a rush out of the house. Will reply properly later on. Smile Cheers!

That depends, it could also create a miscommunication through lack of clarity.

How silly then LOL

(To qualify, God can just not be proven scientifically)

No. He already did & that didn't.

Yes but that doesn't address the atheist stance that there is no god. If God were known to exist it wouldn't be God. The Christian belief in God requires faith and specifically not verifiable proof. The devil believes in God but is anti God.

Indeed.

Surely you can never get away with such blatant opposition to such a literal term - a-theism - without-theism or theism=belief-in-a-deity

Interesting..

Can you please define what you mean by "neat patterns", just so I don't misunderstand. Thanks.

Science has explained a lot about our past in a way that is clear and concise.

I think these websites can help you understand how certain facts of evolution are explained:
