Why them and not you?

RE: Why them and not you?
Quote:https://atheistforums.org/post-1532496.h...d1532496By the way, if most of the world claim to see an invisible unicorn in a garage, I would be prone to investigate their claim and not dismiss it.

it's your time to waste and your lack of standards to own




Quote:In my experience,
Atheists haven't deeply thought of the following:
1. What makes us who we are
2. What is the mysterious nature of love.
3. What is the language of love
4. What is to be truly valued and have worth.
5. What is free-will
6. What is perception
7. What is justice
8. Most philosophical arguments that assert to prove God haven't been given their due.
9. What is that we appreciate and praise
10. What is reason
11. What is goodness
12. Most of all, what is love.
These questions are essential to humanity.
Religion wise and their hostility towards religion:
1. Emphasize on differences without seeing the underlying mysterious unity of religions in the essential teachings and doctrines of what makes us human.
2. Leadership and the underlying agreement of religions on the characteristics of those worthy of leading us to God.
3. Haven't thought really what the Creator is capable of in proving his religion through literature.
4. Haven't thought of the need to have a rope from God and handhold to hold on to with all the confusing mess of diverging paths and thoughts
And I think a lot of religions have come with an agreement to much of these questions and are agreement that eternal divine being is the source of light.
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?

No one cares about you biased experience. As for those questions I suggest looking up the percentage of professional philosophers who don't accept the existence of god . Further  more most of these questions are irrelevant or have any relevance if you already assume theism. The other half is not solved by invoking pixie dust and never will be .

I honestly don't care what they think . Reason is the only justification I need not the opinion of mystics and there complete failure . But I can see why you want to dodge the burden of proof because you know you'll come up short with ACTUAL justifications.  So you must try and switch the burden. FYI you'll say the following no matter what after an escape hatch is all you have.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
