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

[Coffee Jesus]

So I've given you good reason why the concept if God is different to myths. But you ignore, not challenge that reasoning. Noted.

Let's say all non temporal entities are equal. Where is the need to prove existence? My belief certainly never demands it. Quite the opposite: it claims that objective proof cannot exist.

Where does this leave your objection? Completely destroyed.

Casper the ghost haunts me, playing tricks on me while nobody is looking. You can't prove he doesn't exist because he's invisible, immaterial, and intentionally hiding.

My belief isn't supernatural. I believe in a supernatural entity defined as the Christian God. Why not believe in any absurd idea of the supernatural: because I have the ability to reason what those ideas are, as we can all know what they are.

Is it beyond your intellect to understand the meaning of leprechauns, for example?

Moreover, studying Christian doctrine is an in depth study of the supernatural. It's my subject. So I'm better equipped to consider questions of supernatural origin. Someone ignorant of the field wouldn't be as equipped to consider such problems. Practically, I will be more aware of superstitious practice and able to avoid them. That's my experience.

If you want to dismiss supernatural entities, I would expect you to have some idea why. If you have no reason, then I'm happy to acknowledge your lack of opinion.

In other words, you know how to disprove the existence of Casper the ghost. Please enlighten us. It's not an argument if you just say "I know, but I'm not going to tell you how I know."

I endlessly go into the reasoning in detail as the questions arise. Answering such a nebulous request is like explaining the universe to a baby. Baby steps is what the uninitiated need.

But your question isn't cogent in the first place. Answering it would compound the error.

I didn't ask a fucking question, unless you interpret "Please enlighten us" as a question, so don't give me some bullshit about my question being incogent without even specifying how.
