Atheism is irrational.

[Excited Penguin]

Whatever is rational utilizes either the senses, the intellect or both.

Atheism cannot deny God by using senses. For, to deny something by the use of senses is to search the whole physical reality, just as ruling out that there's no alien is to search all that is searchable which is impossible for us humans. But God, by demonstration of His effects, shows that He is beyond physical reality. Hence, it is the more that God can't be denied by the senses.

Atheism cannot deny God by the intellect. For, whatever we can deny by the use of our intellect, must be defined, just as we deny circle things as square, for the definition of circle is different from the definition of square. But, God can't be define, because if He has definition, He can't be God, because by demonstration of His existence through His effects, He is necessarily Boundless. Hence, God can't be denied by the intellect.

Therefore, if to be rational is able to use senses and our intellect, and that God can't be denied both by the senses and intellect, then atheism is necessarily irrational.

First, I see you've made 77 posts at this time and started one thread. That helps me take you more seriously. You're not a  hit-and-run, and you're not spamming the forum. Thanks for that, and welcome to the forum.

I can't be fucked to search for that post you replied to but it makes me think that this is indeed a problem of temperament , not one of education. Look at gym basically telling you no possible reason will convince him because he doesn't give rationality its due here, but rather his emotions , one might surmise, albeit simplistically . Sure, there's the fact that if he hadn't ever heard of the idea of God he wouldn't have believed it, but it seems to me like he would've simply believed in something else just as irrational instead. That's his way of being and I believe , by extension , many other religious people's too. 

But then is it meaningful to talk about what would've been, for is it not that had things been different , they would've been different on more than one point ? I don't know . . .  Food for thought .


P. S. Yes, I noticed the gym typo. I think that's going to be my pet name for some theists from now on. Who am I to question technology?
