Probably the most hilarious anti-atheist argument I've ever seen.

[Fidel_Castronaut]

That's fine, but your own ranks are guilty of the same. When a discussion on god's attributes isn't going well for the atheist, other atheists will jump in and ask for proof that god exists, as if his attributes can't be discussed absent such proof.

Here is a recent example of what Alpha male describes from this very forum.

No, it seems no god set anything up.

Instead of continuing to discuss God's attributes(with the atheists losing it), another atheists jumps in and attempts to steer the discussion towards one of God's existence.

Well to be fair, is there a point discussing the attributes of something that doesn't exist (owing to lack of any sort of evidence)?

I don't think its possible for an atheist to 'lose it' (???) when discussing the unproven and unverifiable assertions of someone else.

But please, feel free to either prove a gods existence (whatever a god is) or indeed prove its attributes. Failure resides in both camps so I don't think any of us really care. I see this point has been made over already so there's no need to rehash it, I guess.

Well, logically speaking, it does make sense to discuss whether a god even exists BEFORE we discuss its alleged attributes.

When you discuss God's attributes there is an implied assumption( an assumption which only exists for the sake of argument) that said God does exists.
