WOW, THAT WAS HARD!!that's a false association. it is not necessary for God to heal anyone who prays. in contrast, the tooth fairy is supposed to take all teeth as long as you put them under your pillow. one has a necessary obligation and the other doesn't.
Quote:And do you get that atheism doesn't say that no gods exist anywhere? We just don't believe in any gods based on the lack of evidence.this is going around in a never ending circle... I realize you don't have a claim that God doesn't exist, but you've still claimed that such a proposition is more rational than saying "God exists." so nice try, you still can't avoid burden of proof.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
