(March 30, 2017 at 10:21 am)MysticKnight Wrote: You don't believe Theists when they testify they know God exists. I understand that and you shouldn't simply believe due to their testification.

But why should Theists take seriously that you actually are justified in not believing in God? Why should we not believe it's the fault of yours and not God's or anyone else?

Why should we take your testification that you sincerely sought to know whether God exists or not seriously?

The problem is that in the end, nobody cares.  You want people to believe your God idea, you will have to convince them that there's sufficient value in that belief to get them to spend the time and effort.

We don't need to prove there's no God, since there are no consequences in just ignoring the God idea and getting on with more important things in life-- like cleaning out belly-button lint.
