You are ruining the image of Atheists!

[Sword of Christ]

You still don't understand the atheist position. Let me use a metaphor from the atheist experience:

Matt Dillahunty?



"How about I punch that fat head in for Jesus?" classic line. Most people who phone the show don't really have a good understanding of what they're trying to argue against though so does pretty well.

I have a jar of sweets.
You and I don't know how many are in there because we haven't counted.
But I think we can both agree that the amount of sweets in that jar is either odd or even.
You following me so far?
So know, I tell you that the amount of sweets in that jar is even.
Do you believe me?
The only honest answer you can give is no.
Why don't you believe me?
But does that mean you then 100% believe that the amount of sweets is odd?
The only honest answer again is: no.

Now apply that to god and atheism

Strawman fallacy unless you're assuming that God is not something we ought to care about and has no relevance to our lives at all. The thing is if God exists then yes that something relevant to us, if he doesn't exist then that will still be relevant. You don't compare the deeper questions of existence and life to a jar of sweets. Unless whether the number of sweets is in some way crucial then you would have to hope or have faith/trust in the right number. You can be wrong so can atheists be wrong. I've seen theists who phone the show attempt to make that point even if they don't do it very well.
