Hare Krishna

[Akincana Krishna dasa]

Very few atheists claim to know, with absolute certainty, that a god does not exist.

There is no god. There are no gods. I am absolutely certain.

Is that based on a special intuition you have? Or maybe you know absolutely everything about everything? Maybe your priest dropped you when you were a kid?

I'm surprised that you place as much importance in the traditional place gods have played in answering questions some people have had. I don't find myself so impressed by history and custom that I require a justification to depart from the norm. Perhaps you are different in that way? That's fine. If you're wondering how can I be so different than you, you just have too much time on your hands for wondering.

I didn't argue that "lots of people believe in God, therefore God exists."

4. The only way you could blow my mind is if you actually said something that didn't sound like regurgitated Creationist bullshit

If I ever blow someone's mind, it's not going to be yours.

There are also obvious limitations on the theist side of this debate. Certainly direct experiential evidence of God isn't immediately available, at least to most people.

Try no one.

Is that a special feeling you have? Or maybe you've met everyone? How would you know that?
