Atheism is unreasonable

[His_Majesty]

No. I do not have to accept your misconceived notion of atheism.

You don't have to. I will give you the same definition of atheism that other poster got.

"As commonly understood, atheism is the position that affirms the nonexistence of God. So an atheist is someone who disbelieves in God, whereas a theist is someone who believes in God. Another meaning of 'atheism' is simply nonbelief in the existence of God, rather than positive belief in the nonexistence of God. ... an atheist, in the broader sense of the term, is someone who disbelieves in every form of deity, not just the God of traditional Western theology."

False, but it is no shock that most theists believe the theistic rubbish they are taught in a church building instead of paying attention in science class at school.

I was paying attention in science class...5 years of elementary school...3 years of middle school...and 4 years of high school...and I don't ever recall a teacher explaining/demonstrating how life came from non-living material, and how consciousness originated from unconsciousness.

Atheism does not require faith. Atheism is understanding that faith is fallible and unnecessary.

"Atheism is understanding that faith is fallible and unnecessary" <--this itself is a faith based statement...yet faith is "fallible and unnecessary"?

Where in this:

"As commonly understood, atheism is the position that affirms the nonexistence of God. So an atheist is someone who disbelieves in God, whereas a theist is someone who believes in God. Another meaning of 'atheism' is simply nonbelief in the existence of God, rather than positive belief in the nonexistence of God. ... an atheist, in the broader sense of the term, is someone who disbelieves in every form of deity, not just the God of traditional Western theology."

Do you get this?:

But as an atheist, here is what you have to believe...you have to believe that billions of years ago before humanity, dead matter was floating around in space...and for whatever reason, suddenly, this dead matter "came to life". Not only did it come to life, but it came to life and began thinking, talking, and having sex.

What?? It is called "law of excluded middle". If there are only two explanations, and one is negated, the other one wins by default...so if you DON'T believe that God exists, you have to believe that the origin of life/consciousness is best explained by natural processes.

Is that so hard to understand?
