Pascal's Wager
#29
RE: Pascal's Wager
Sorry if I confused you. It's just that I've dealt with way to many people who think evidence of God is the Bible and it's frustrating. (Not saying you do) To say we reject evidence implies there is valid evidence we refuse to look at. I understand now that wasn't you're implication but still, I don't like that definition of atheism for that reason. Like Adrian said, you shouldn't redefine atheism.

I can certainly understand believing in, at the very least, a universal god. As there is already a discussion on this, I won't get into detail. I personally don't care if there is a UG and could be considered agnostic in respects to a UG. I do however care about the personal god because of the horror it causes in this world. I am no scientist, I certainly can understand it when I learn about it but I don't have a degree and couldn't have a substantial discussion about atoms to be perfectly honest. I don't like to get into the nuances of what started life because I'm not qualified to debate that elvel of science. What I care about is the evidence that a personal god exists, of which there is absolutely none. And it is lack of this evidence that makes me 100% atheist in respects to a Personal god.
