A case for positive atheism

[chatpilot]

I am of the opinion that like science; philosophy is completely an inadequate means of trying to determine the existence or non existence of god/gods. The belief in god is a subjective matter and is held entirely on faith and does not require to meet up to the standards set forth by empirical or objective evidence. The study of God is wholly the responsibility of theology. Scientifically there is no way to prove or disprove the existence of a deity, creator, first cause, or uncaused cause. Philosophical arguments fail in that they are just the intellectual mans gymnasium to try to make sense of nonsense.

Fr0d0 wrote: "Existence in your terms means strictly observable, where God cannot be observable. Therefore God cannot exist.I am also of the position that there is no logical way to reach that conclusion either way, except via faith. (faith = trust in information I accept to be true and act upon)."

Although fr0d0 and I rarely see eye to eye I completely agree with his statement in the above mentioned quote. The study of god is something that can only be made successful through faith and through the belief and or study of the paranormal or supernatural not traditional philosophy.
