Why You Should Be Atheist

[*Deidre*]

At best, people can only have a concept or idea of who they believe God to be. And that concept, when nurtured enough, will easily feel like reality to them. I respect people's beliefs, as long as they don't trample on others, and try to infiltrate our government.

I don't want to become one of those atheists/agnostics who are militant, because that is the very thing I didn't like about religion. It's a fine line, everyone. Have to be careful not to push people away with our own beliefs, just like we don't want religious people to do that to us.

None of this has any relation to what I was asking Vinny, or why.

Vinny constantly posts threads on why not believing unsupported claims,
like the existence of a god, is irrational and that atheists have the burden of proof.

Yet, he has not, to my knowledge, told us what he believes and why he believes it.

I am under the impression he is purposely dodging these questions.

Then, my post is relevant. Because all believers (I was one myself a few years ago) only have a concept or idea of God to really cling to. And that's fine, but call it like it is, I say. Call it a belief in the idea of God. That could be your next rebuttal. lol (And it's really not assaulting anyone's beliefs, it's just being honest.)
