What I'd like to see change, is theists to stop pretending like there is evidence to support their beliefs. There isn't. It's an exhausting strawman game if you get into a discussion with a theist. When I was a theist, I didn't really try to convince anyone to believe as I do. But, that's the problem with many theists, is that they want to assist people to converting, and thus...they think 'evidence' will help in this venture. But, either they don't know how to define evidence, or they just think non-theists/atheists are stupid. Not sure which is worse. lol
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Your statement isn't well enough defined. It's been my crusade (oops, stigmatised word lol ;)) since joining here to quash the myth that there could ever be transferable/ independent/ verifiable/ empirical evidence.
I think you're on my side so I'll give you credit :great:
Because the death of millions of people is hilarious, and I came here to let everyone know: we have no evidence for why it happened!
Isn't God great? He just loves murder, torture and killing in his name, even though we can't prove he even exists! Aren't Christians a fun bunch?!
