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?
For starters, I don't give a rats ass if a theist "takes me seriously" or not. There is no law in my country requiring me to believe in some magical sky daddy. So let's get the assumption by religious nuts out of the way that atheists are demanding you take us seriously. Because from your wording, that's the impression I garnered.
Second - atheists have nothing to testify to in order to claim any sort of belief....wait for it.....
because we don't have to. science uses the scientific method and employs things like fact-based evidence. The results of which are then documented so everyone can see it for themselves. It does not need any testimony. The results and the proven evidence are there for anyone to see.
The burden of proof that any deity or god exists is not upon the person who doesn't believe it, but it is upon the person making the claim that such a god exists.
Who said there has to be blame assigned when it comes to believing vs. not believing? Why can't Theists accept that the atheist point of view is what it is? Why do theists feel the need to try and scare us with threats of eternal damnation for not buying into their brand of bullshit?
You know, religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one, but stop trying g to shove it in everyone's faces.
Provide proof your god exists via the Scientific Method, or, gasp! How about your deity show himself to his people instead of making you guys do all the work and having him take credit.
Personally, I'd like to see a human limb (thats been physically removed necessity or injury) regrow itself, to its normal state, without any sort of intervention from other humans. I mean, your god is supposed to be omni-everything, right? So how about he start with some basic parlor tricks and give people back the body parts they are missing.
Oh wait...he can't do that because he doesn't exist. Why should he replace limbs on a person when he can't even show himself in any sort of form, to his own people?
