When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?

[Bard A Madsen]

One of the standard mantras atheists are taught to say is "I'm an atheist because I have seen no evidence for God."

This is not a convincing reason to be an atheist. Why?

It's possible for someone to be too blind or too ignorant to see or understand the evidence. Just like a toddler might say "I see no evidence of the validity of Quantum Mechanics" or a blind woman might say "I see no evidence of the existence of colors" the problem might be with the person and not the evidence. 

Clearly, if the atheist wants the public to believe that there is no evidence, they have to be able to respond meaningfully to purported examples of theistic evidence. 

Atheists here, for the most part are not competent enough to do this. 

And hence, when someone says they are an atheist because they have seen no evidence, the best response seems to be to send them to an optometrist.

I saw another one of your threads about atheists not knowing anything about religion and you only started it and bailed so I didn't respond, now I see your sticking around for this one, so...

Look up the bibliography on my site From The Deep Ocean Above.

So, what do you want to know???    Do you know where and and how many times the God(s) "love", benefit, or even like Man and where and how many times the God(s) hurt, punish, try to destroy, and the hatred that is cast upon us?   I'll guess,  maybe (love) 1 : 99 (hate and demand love & praise)   And that love is it just stated as such and or shown, the creation of us and our sentience and cognition of the surrounding don't count.  How about how much evidence is mounted up that the Sky God concept was originated from natural phenomena and evolved through the ages and in some instances plagiarized from others vs. communication from beyond? (natural) 100 : 0 from another dimension   < notice I didn't end with a period as not to be rude
