Like I said, western atheism is weak.

Madhyamaka has proofs that negate any claim of a Creator.

And, like you ignored, what is "western atheism"?

I've never heard that term, and I'm an atheist who lives in the west. Is an atheist's lack of belief different if one lives in the UK than if one lives in India, or Ghana, or Argentina?

Curious also that you appear to cherry pick the post instead of confronting the issues raised to you. What was it you said about misrepresenting posts by other people?
