Quote:So how do atheists account for truth?


Oh dear, yet another apologist trying to shift the burden of proof:

Asserting only "I do not believe in gods due to lack of evidence", I make no claims, offer no answers,and need account for exactly nothing. That honour belongs to those who make claims about truth.

As a skeptic who is also an atheist, my position is as follows:

Logic 101: Logic does not guarantee truth. Hence ,I also demand evidence before I will accept a proposition.

I reject the notion of absolute truths,except in the abstract. Science claims no absolutes,nor have I run across any so far.

I do not believe in gods. I need not account for nor prove or falsify anything.In asserting 'there is a God" or" I believe there is a god you attract the burden of proof. God cannot be reasoned into or out of existence,his existence can only be proved or falsified. So far, no one has managed either,and THAT is why I need to assert "I do not believe"
