Where did the universe come from? Atheistic origin science has no answer.

You weren't born with the atheism as a concept or any other concept either. Later in life you decided to become an atheist.

Quote:I was born a de facto atheist. You are incorrect.

Atheism is a philosophy and you learned it and now you adhere to it. You weren't born with it.

Quote:I am continually making choices, continually evaluating claims on a myriad of gods, continually finding them wanting. Pragmatism, look it up.

There is only one God. There are of course different interpretations of this God. We don't have to worry about polytheism as we can say science disproved or discounted the need for the old pagan gods in the natural world. You're making the error of extending this to God when God didn't explain these natural processes he only created them.


Quote:I do not seek to judge the choices of others...unlike some people in this conversation.

If you can't judge choice you won't be able to make an informed choice yourself. Though yes you have judged the belief in God and came to the conclusion that he doesn't exist. But what you did is dismiss him like you did Zeus I'd say that's a mistake because they aren't the same kind of thing.


Quote:Wrong again.

If you think you can make an informed educated choice the moment you're born it's safe to say you are wrong.


Quote:I lack any sort of concept of a 'god'. I've never heard a coherent definition that I can conceptualise or agree with since day 0 of my life till now.

Perhaps you should do some research? Don't just accept the first philosophy or belief that comes along you have to put some effort into rejecting/not accepting the existence of God.


Quote:You are wrong for the third time in this one post.

But you have demonstrated that you don't know very much about theology or philosophy regarding God or religion so you don't to say that with much authority. I'm sure you have read the God Delusion but that's like the blind leading the blind, you have to look at the other side of the argument as well. You can then make a fully informed choice, if it's still atheism after all that then ok.


Quote:It is laughable that you would equate me stating a fact that I lacked a belief or concept of any sort of deity when I was born to it being a dogma/doctrine. This is nonsensical and I can only assume you've taken leave of your senses.

You weren't capable of making an informed choice when you were born it is different to how you are now. It something to take seriously either way don't just accept whatever you're told.


Quote:I have no religious faith. You don't believe me?

You still have a philosophy regarding religion and the true nature of the world, the meaning of life the universe and everything. You weren't born with this belief you learned it later, or at any rate perhaps you picked it up by a kind of osmosis.

Quote:It doesn't matter one bit, doesn't change the fact that I am correct, and you are not Wink

If you want to convince someone of something you don't just state your own opinion as fact. You give reasons for your statements like I have done here. I carefully explained how you were not born as an atheist. Unless you want to say a cow or a pig is an atheist and that you have the exact same reasoning capacity of them?
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
