Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?

Why would you claim you can demonstrate it, then claim a few posts later that you didn't post anything that needed supporting?

What do I want you to defend? Your claim that you can support your beliefs in a nonobjective manner.

Well that's weird because I actually answered the question in that original statement.

It's not that I don't want to accept his position. It's that he has not offered any evident or reasoned justification for his position.

I don't believe or disbelieve propositions because I want or don't want to. If someone is able to support their position, I am compelled to accept it.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I'm saying the opposite.

"We call what cannot be faulted knowledge. If you can't fault a premise, then you can build on that premise, as long as it stands unrefuted."

The alleged 'straw man' is simply a different way of describing that first sentence. You do consider "assertions which cannot be tested" valid knowledge. Someone else even bolded it above my post. That's why it caught my attention. It is a bold and proud declaration of cognitive failure.

And so it boils down to you not bothering to read.

Nice.

I expected no more.

I'm tired of you clowns.

Summon me when you think of something interesting to say.

So no response other than claiming you already responded?

No glitter for you! And you better pick up the macaroni and clean up that glue before it dries, mister, or no more construction paper for you!

You do, because that way you can lie and invent and basically make up whatever the fuck you want and never have to worry about it being debunked. And you do it because you know it would be if you didn't. Because you're a dishonest and fraudulent piece of shit.

If it can be faulted, but isn't, it is knowledge. If it can't be faulted, it's pointless babble. Like pretty much everything you say. So follow through on your threat and just fuck off.
