4 random arguements for atheism.

RE: 4 random arguements for atheism.
Quote:But the non-existence of God is precisely what atheism is about—

Oh pickle! ANOTHER apologist trying to tell atheists what they do or do not believe.



Atheism is about lack of belief. Period.It makes no claim to truth or even to reason,nor any other claims whatsoever.

Occasionally I run across someone sufficiently arrogant to claim "there is no God". Viz "I believe there is no god" . I see a few like that on line,but have never actually met one in real life.

I do not believe in god(s), in pink unicorns or that the moon is made of green cheese.I have no burden of proof for any of these lack of beliefs. Such a burden only exist when I claim such things are the case.

Brought up devout Catholic,my journey to atheism took over 20 years. It was not a choice. I finally reached the point where I simply no longer believed.

My position is :God may not be reasoned into or out of existence. Like metaphysical propositions generally the existence of god is [so far] unprovable and unfalsifiable.


For me to be able to assert " There is a god" I demand empirical evidence.Apologist sophistry won't do it.

Nor will some ignoramus claiming "absence of evidence is evidence of absence" enable me to claim "there is no god"

For now, my position is "I do not believe,but concede the possibility of error". I will continue to live my daily life AS IF there is no god.
