Disproof Atheism Society

This is it for me:

x is most probably true so I believe x
x is most probably false so so I don't believe x.
x is unknown or highly uncertain so I choose to either feel comfortable not knowing or to investigate x.

Many theologians however like:

If x is God and x is unknown, I will take a leap of faith and believe x.

C.S. Lewis in particular comes to mind. Some like Kierkegaard argue that the leap of faith is the necessary part and that if Jesus' death and resurrection could be proved an essential part of Christianity would vanish. I find this crazy, but at least it's honest crazy--as opposed to he's in your heart you just have to look.

I guess it does depend on what definition of god you're using. I am of the mind that the christian god, and other gods that have been thought to 'dabble in human affairs' could be debunked.

It can. The theist can always redefine God but it was pointed out at the discussion that there are only so many ways you can define God without it turning into something else. All theists I gather would agree that God is at least the "greatest possible being".

I looked at the God Disproved website. It appears they are interested in disproving particular gods. That at least in some cases is quite doable. If for example God is the being described in the Bible and he created the earth as stated in Genesis he's been disproven long ago.
