Dear atheists,

[Esquilax]

Again sorry for not being clear. Only when an atheist is making positive claims about other philosophical topics, like metaphysics, epistemology, or ethics, does he or she need to provide an alternate to god(s) that would satisfy an ultimate ground for being.

Do they also need an alternative for fairies?

This is a thing a lot of theists do, but you're particularly guilty of it yourself, where you make an assertion ("everyone needs an ultimate ground for being") and then expecting that if we don't agree with your solution to the problem you've defined into existence, we must have an alternative. Well, no we don't, actually: seeing no evidence for your answer does not require we furnish an alternative answer.



We are fully capable of recognizing wrong or unjustified answers, without having one of our own. And that's just assuming we accept your problem as particularly pressing, which I don't necessarily.
