Philosophical Underpinnings for Rejecting God

Agh, it sucks when you spy a new thread that might be interesting, but when you get in there, everyone has covered everything already.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
Oh, the tyranny of time zones. Nothing to see here. The tow trucks have pulled the wrecks away and the ambulances have carted off the dead.

This is based completely on the lack of evidence. This is not a philosophical issue but rather a logical one. It is not logical to believe in something without evidence. 
Why do people ask these questions then never come back?
Is this some sort of game? You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
Tag - You're it!
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion. -- Superintendent Chalmers Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things. -- Ned Flanders Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral. -- The Rev Lovejoy
Shit and runners.
Or.... they see they answers they get and chicken out. 
I think some of these guys get into some philosophical conversation with their Dad in the car ride home from church or something, and they think they've come up with something deep. Then they come here, and everyone is running circles around them with prepared arguments, references to actual books, authors and thinkers, and an existing knowledge of every "new" argument the theist is working hard to come up with. And also, of course, theists are at a disadvantage because they don't really understand what atheism means to atheists.
Then the guy disappears to "prepare" and never comes back. 
What do you guys think about the philosophical underpinnings of the belief that gained wisdom as personal proof can't be embedded as a subset of the way we think about the natural universe.
That was a classic quote from the revered ancient greek expert on animal husbandry, "FUKAKARKAS"
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. |
