How to debate a Christian

[Eilonnwy]

NoGodaloud, you'll be hard pressed to find a strong atheist here. Most of us don't argue that no god exists, so please don't assert what we believe. We will tell you what we believe and assert, you don't get to tell us.

Most atheists simply lack a belief of God. We have considered the claims of theists and whatever flimsy evidence they have and not accepted it. Doesn't mean we assert no god, but simply that we do not accept the God claims based on the lack of evidence and lack of meeting the burden of proof on the part of theists.

My atheism is not dependent on science, evolution, abiogenesis, or big bang cosmology. If you want me to accept your claim of God, you must meet your burden of proof.

Furthermore, many theists accept the scientific consensus on things like evolution and the big bang theory, which simply proves that atheism is not dependent on them, that they are not arguments for atheism, or supported through atheism.
