Thoughts on "Answering Atheism" Video

Simple shifting of burden of proof mixed with argument from design. If these are their best arguments, then it only confirms for me that atheism is the way to go.
Sometimes I wish Christians could come up with better arguments, but we keep getting the same old crap.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

If these are their best arguments, then it only confirms for me that atheism is the way to go. How many different ways are there to say, "I don't have any evidence and don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, but I'm right -- I'M RIGHT!"? 
Oh man, why can't the religious understand that the 'you can't prove god doesn't exist' is the stupidest argument ever thought of?
Hey, religious people! You can't prove that the fountain of youth doesn't exist. You can't prove that there isn't a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You can't prove that there isn't a giant marshmallow floating out there in deep space. Enough already!
There is an ALLLL-knowing, ALLLL-powerful, inVISible being who is everywhere, who created the WHOLE universe, who lives in another dimension called heaven, who is perfect in every way, who was never born and will never die, and who watches you every minute of every day (even when you're squeezing one out on the toilet). There are also unicorns, leprechauns, Santa Claus, an Easter Bunny, and a giant purple people eater.

It shows zero comments, so there's that.

Because they know they don't have any proof, so it's easier to shift the burden of proof with "well, you can't prove that God doesn't exist!" Simple playground argument tactic.

Hmmm....my comment still not up there.....I guess he must be busy with other things. Obviously a religious Christian would not be so disingenuous as to make it look like there are no arguments against....

Atheism is the assertion that god(s) or deities do not exist, all that it required to be an atheist is; 1. an assertion, and 2. that that assertion is that god(s)/deities do not exist an explanation of how you arrived at that assertion is not required. This video should be called - 'Redefining atheism in convenient terms that suit me so I can peddle my poorly written histrionics and feel smug about my delusion (even though I look a right moron to people who can actually see through my disingenuous bullshit... but then I'm a Catholic so what the hell do I know about being honest and fair)?' Which , while accurate, might be a bit long for yootoob. MM (September 24, 2013 at 5:25 am)Dena Wrote: I keep trying to watch but all I hear is classical music?

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

Copenhagen School  Religious Views: Its all bullshit to keep you handing money to the usher.
Wow A semantical game and three baseless assertions, how original.
I hope that is how they answer atheism as if it is, religion won't last much longer. One question, why does he even think the universe has a objective moral law?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. |
