Why do Athiests require 'proof' that God exists?
RE: Why do Athiests require 'proof' that God exists?
@chadwooters;

I love the smell of sophistry in the morning,and the cute use of special pleading.

I did not claim or mean to imply science can answer all questions (yet) That there is and arguably cannot be proof for some propositions (existence of god,free will,etc ) is not my problem. Without supporting proof,my position is a proposition may not be claimed to be true.Period. OF course,for many,many questions to which I don't know the answer, I'm happy to say 'I don't know 'or "THAT proposition may indeed be the case".

When it comes to gods,the soul,an afterlife,angels,demons, unicorns,dragons, mountain trolls and fairies,for example, I assert only "I do not believe due to a lack of credible evidence" For all I know,any or all of those things may exist,no matter how unlikely I think that might be.

.
Sorry, I thought I had mentioned I'm a materialist. Thinking
