Oh dear, ANOTHER Catholic apologist.
HERE I STAND:
I've been a recovering Catholic for over 40 years. I gave up arguing with apologists about 25 years ago.I do not conflate winning argument with being right.(necessarily) Today I state my position and wait for a reply:
I reject Catholic thinkers such as Augustine and Aquinas in that I reject the notion that truth can be derived from reason alone; I demand evidence.
I do not believe in god(s),the soul,the afterlife, angels,demons,mountain trolls,dragons or fairies at the bottom of my garden,due to lack of credible evidence.
If you believe in any or all of those things,wonderful,I'm happy for you! Would you like me to share your beliefs? No problem at all;simply show me your evidence in support of your claims. IF you are unable to do so,kindly stop wasting my time and bugger off,there's a good chap.
That the existence of god(s) has so far in recorded history been both unproved and unfalsifiable is not my problem. It simply means I'm unable to believe.
