Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?

So do you admit defeat that you cannot actually prove the non existence of something supernatural?

Uh huh...
Try looking at that again imbecile. I don't want you to prove something that you cannot. Only a fucking idiot would do that. You and your idiotic compadres keep insisting on that.

We're now on the 3rd response in this thread alone where I have asked you to provide said evidence, yet all you have provided is "I can provide plenty [of] evidence."

What the fuck are you on about? I swear you're seriously deranged. You have an imaginary friend all of your own you're talking to don't you?

I have plenty of evidence that I'm very happy to provide. All I need from you is a specific request that's actually logical. You don't seem to be able to ask one.

The question posited to you was whether you, yourself, believe in supernatural beings other than the one you specially plead for, and what gives you the ability to dismiss their existence if not.

After all, unicorns are in the bible. Why do you disbelieve in unicorns? On what criteria do you reject their existence? Do you have any evidence they do not exist?

You said that you don't know the difference between fairy stories and rational beliefs. Therefore you have no reason to dismiss fairy tales. You said this.

I don't plead anything. I state that I believe in God and with good reason.

Your unicorn example again proves your imbecilic understanding. Take a look at what your link says:
"In fact, a whole bunch of ‘mythical creatures’ in the King James Bible are simply additions by medieval translators who were more interested in being poetic than in making sure their creatures existed. The cockatrice, a rooster-headed dragon mentioned in the book of Isaiah, has been scaled down in more recent translations to ‘viper.’ Lilith, a female demon, has been downgraded to ‘screech owl’, and mentions of satyrs (half-man, half-goat creatures) have been changed to ‘goats.’ More linguistically accurate, maybe, but nowhere near as fun."

How so?

Quote:Main Entry: skep·ti·cism
Pronunciation: \ˈskep-tə-ˌsi-zəm\
Function: noun
Date: 1646
1 : an attitude of doubt or a disposition to incredulity either in general or toward a particular object 2 a : the doctrine that true knowledge or knowledge in a particular area is uncertain b : the method of suspended judgment, systematic doubt, or criticism characteristic of skeptics 3 : doubt concerning basic religious principles (as immortality, providence, and revelation)
synonyms See Synonym Discussion at uncertainty

I do not think that word means what you think it means. Perhaps you could give us the alternative definition you are using here.
If you're saying that skepticism = ignorance I have no quarrel with you. You confirmed what I said above.

Personally I need reason to dismiss something. Otherwise my opinion is neutral.

Why yes, many people have asked you to provide the argument or other support rational belief in your specific deity you continually claim to have. I myself have asked you multiple times to produce it. So yes, you are indeed rather late on the delivery.

I provide reasoning every time it is requested. Address something and I'll respond. Take cheap shots with meaningless bullshit and you'll get the response that you deserve. In your case that's probably for the best.

The person who singularly fails to address anyone. Who has such a clichéd view and never ever bothers to make a point relevant to the conversation... accuses others of not responding.

Wow

What did I fail to address? Please outline what you would like addressed, and if it isn't too much trouble, perhaps you could address some of the points raised instead of pooh poohing them and repeating "my beliefs are rational, I can provide evidence" and actually make an argument, support a claim, or at least keep both hands on the keyboard long enough to directly address any of the above posts directly.

How can I make an argument in response to nothing? From what I can see, you have nothing.

I've asked you 3 times to stump up and every time you've failed.

I'm not about to cast my pearls before swine. You offer nothing and I offer you nothing in return.

This is an example of what to avoid. Please try to participate, and provide more compelling arguments in the future.

Do you ever take your own advice?
