Quote:well from an atheist point of view you've missed the point and live shadowed by a belief that doesn't allow reason or logic.
Oh dear,ANOTHER apologist who hasn't grasped the meaning of the word 'atheist'.
There is no such thing as an atheist point of view,except on one topic: BY DEFINITION an atheist is merely a person who does not believe in gods. NOTHING ELSE is implied or may be inferred. ATHEISM IS NOT: a belief system,a philosophy, an ideology,a moral code or a club.
I assert only "I do not believe due to lack of evidence" I reject the notion that God may be be argued into or out of existence. His existence may only be proved or falsified. IE logic does not guarantee truth. That means I use logic and reason supported by evidence,unlike theology,which uses sophistry unsupported by evidence..
You believe in God? How nice for you. You want me to give credence/respect to your beliefs? No problem, I'm asolutely willing to that, the second you show me some evidence to support your claim.If you're unable to do that, please stop wasting my time and go away.
So far,not one person in recorded history has provided any evidence for the exisetence of gods,the,soul,the supernatural,the paranormal, or fairies at the bottom of their garden, so I'm not holding my breath.
