That's how you respond to challenges and counter-arguments? You just ignore them? I thought atheists were opposed to ignorance...
Quote:Who says perfection exists outside of a human concept?
Well, the various ontological arguments do. Depending how you define "perfection", it can be trivial that perfect objects must exist.
Quote:Have you ever witnessed perfection?
Not sure how this is relevant, other than as a positive test with no negative power; if I've witnessed perfection, then perfection certainly exists (modulo concerns about witnessing things that don't exist), but if I haven't witnessed perfection, that doesn't mean the perfection doesn't exist (modulo definitions of "perfection" that necessitate being witnessed by people sufficiently similar to me).
