Quote:You see, dear atheist colleagues, in the OP I am trying to lead you step by step: to come to the certainty of the existence of God in objective reality outside of concepts in our mind.
And it has been pointed out to you many times, that your 'proof' is logically flawed.
Your 'proof' does not lead, step by step, toward any level of certainty that a god exists. It fails on every level.
Quote:Today I will invite you instead to lead me step by step: to come to the certainty God does not exist in objective reality outside of concepts in our mind.
And there it is...
Yet another logical fallacy. This one, 'Dear' Mariosep, is called "strawman".
It is also passing the burden of proof. The burden of proof is all yours, dear boy.
Atheism is not the claim that gods do not exist. Atheism is the disbelief in the claims of theists who assert that a god does exist.
But I have no real hope you will understand the difference.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
