Are all religions cults?

[RoadRunner79]

I’m asking you, how you come to the conclusion that they are unrealistic?  Why should I believe your claims here?

Due to reality.

That appears to be your conclusion;  if it's also your reasons for that conclusion, then wouldn't that be begging the question?

It's not a difficult concept to perceive.

God makes no appearance, he does not speak to us from the heavens to let us know he's real, he doesn't do anything except for what "believers" claim he does.

I'm not taking the "claims" of believers over what I could be experiencing if god was real and made himself empirically known.

What you have is personal, fallible faith because you want to believe in a fantasy of god's existence over the reality that he doesn't exist.  It's fucking sad.  And we shouldn't be having this argument, except that you cannot seem to reason properly when it comes to your silly religious beliefs.

It if fucking sad.  So fucking sad.

It is the believers who are to be pitied, for they have forsaken reality for the fantasy that provides nothing except personal comfort.  A delusion that shields them from the reality that god does not exist.

How fucking sad.

So then, anything that you have not personally experienced, is delusional?   This seems a little ridiculous to me.

Do you think that shifting the burden of proof justifies your claim?  The religious person could do this as well, but I view that as fallacious reasoning. It’s another atheist delusion that theists point to no evidence for God, but if we are both just assuming our view is true, and it’s up to the other to show it as false, then we are not going to get very far.

Except it's only theists assuming that their belief is true.

I don't.... and it appears here, that a number of atheists do as well.  

Unless you are  gnostic atheist like me, then atheism is one of scepticism. The majority of atheists are agnostic atheists. This has been explained to you a myriad of times before and you keep ignoring it.

And personally speaking as a gnostic atheist, it's still not the case that we are both assuming that our views are true. You may be, but my view is shaped by what we have discovered to be true because of science. The modern world would not exist if the discoveries of science were just assumed to be true. Unfortunately for you, they contradict your theist beliefs.

I agree, that there are atheists who are just skeptical and not making any claims.   However I find that many do, and then claim they do not.  If you are just skeptical, then you are not making a claim about reality, and therefore cannot claim that theists are delusional for denying that reality.  

For instance, what is it, that you claim that in science contradicts a theists view?
