And the Christian religion on its own, has over 45k different sects and denominations globally, answering every claim in a single book would be impossible.(May 10, 2025 at 10:48 pm)Neo-Scholastic Wrote: New Atheism is so millenial.
It's kind of funny to see which former fan-boy is still defending those guys, and which one is like "Richard who?"
If any deity exists, and it wants me to know it, then it has failed pointedly to do so. As have the arguments of every adherent of every religion I have seen, but again if you think there is a compelling reason to believe in an extant deity, then by all means offer it.
What's telling is how this goes unanswered. Well except for John's circular reasoning fallacy of course, that assumed his conclusion a priori, and yet was offered as evidence. "God created everything, therefore everything is evidence for god", is only true if we accept god created everything, why would we do that? Especially as John is busy claiming evidence doesn't exist, he is trying to prop his fallacy, on a branch he's already cut off.
So an entire thread, and the only reason offered is fallacious.
