What is it, exactly, that you think atheism is? Many atheists are also right handed. Do you think that arguing against right handedness answers atheism, in some way?
I can go pretty much any direction you like with it, being a right handed atheist who has a problem with evil. I don't have any traumatic obstacles in my life preventing belief, though, so that's a wash I guess. If you think that more people would believe in your silly god if their life were better in some undefined way - that sounds like gods problem.
Okay. So, as an atheist who has a problem with evil, do you have an argument from evil that conclusively proves that god doesn't exist ? Of course not. Now, considering the absence of such arguments AND the possibility of reconciliation, you cannot be an atheist based on the existence of evil alone, you either have other reasons -like not accepting the arguments in favor of god- or you have an irrational position.
I strongly suspect that my being an atheist has nothing to do with rationality whatsoever. I don't argue myself into it. I just wake up noticing that I don't believe in gods every day.
Quote:Of course it's something about people who find arguments for god compelling, I thought I mentioned "servants of God" often enough to make that clear. The thread is not about proving the existence of God, I don't understand why some here are shouting about the argument being bad or something, it's not my problem that you misunderstood what the argument is aiming for.Excellent, you can rationalize your beliefs. We know that you exist. And?
Quote:What do you mean by "death cult" ? Feel free to throw unsubstantiated claims about Islam being inadequate, barbaric. Just recall Hitchens' famous quote: "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence".
You mean, that's a problem that you don't know and haven't rationalized? How many more things like this will we find?
