A View on Atheist
#6
RE: A View on Atheist
First of it depends on what God you are talking about. I wholly dismiss the chance of any specific God man has created as being completely impossible. I hold a slight chance that some sort of impersonal God, such as the one deist describe, exists but not much.

Second, the first sentence is not being closed minded, it is simply a statement based on the probability of a God existing. If I were to ask you to guess a ten digit sequence of numbers, the chance of you guessing the same one I am thinking of are incredibly small. Therefore, I can say with relative certainty, that you will not guess that sequence correctly. Is there a chance you could? Sure, but not enough to keep an open mind to possibility of it happening.

Also, the second sentence is not more open minded, it is just that you seem to have come to a different conclusion on the probability of a God existing. You keep coming off as if somehow holding onto the likelihood of a God existing makes you more enlightened than everyone else, which makes you no different from the fundamentalists you claim are so wrong.
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
