Strong Atheism and what it REALLY means to be an atheist

I love atheists;113601 Wrote:

I thought that was a good introduction lol, what else am I supposed to say?

My purpose in asking those questions was to see where people disagree with me. If you think people would disagree, please, tell me where and on what basis so that I may learn where I went wrong in making my argument.

Minotza,
Appreciate your thoughts. I don't think there is such a thing as strong atheist. First of all if you completely deny God (devine power, uncause cause), you would need to explain universe. It appearance from nothing (scientists proved there were nothing before something). You would need to explain intricate complex and harmony of it. You would explain the reason why we are here, how do we know what to do, where are we going. What is going to happened to us when we die. You would need to explain moral law (don't tell me it does not exist. I can challenge anyone on that). You would need to explain love, faith and hope we humans have in us. I can't explain it apart from God.
thank you! Wink

Why does one need to explain the universe in order to deny God? Please tell me your argument for the existence of moral law, I've always been interested in that. I think that love doesn't exist, and is just a euphemism. Isn't "explaining faith" a self-destructive idea unless you agree not to use logic and reason to explain it? I think that its not that you cant explain it apart from God, its simply just that you cannot explain it (referring to the universe and death).

Thanks for all your responses guys, I think the first topic of my post went way over my head, lol.
What do you guys think about my last question? Do you guys think that a Pure Agnostic should be forced to jump to a Weak Atheist if we assume that people have an obligation to use logic and reason in deciding their beliefs?
