Why do you not believe in God?
RE: Why do you not believe in God?
Because they go around claiming it is real.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

It's OK, I understand you are referring to the faithful. IE people who are unable to distinguish between personal certitude based on superstition and evidence based knowledge. Wink Shades

I'm gonna go Socratic on you.

Because you have absolutely nothing left.

The fact that you ask this particularly absurd question betrays your intellectual dishonesty.

Failing your responsibility to provide EVIDENCE (as distinguished from "proof"), all you offer is superstitions and fairy tales.

I thought theists were the ones who refused to justify their claims. Does that make you a theist?

That conclusion's about on par with the rest of your (sorry excuses for) arguments here.

Because if they are merely hallucinating then the rest of us are correct to assume they are batshit crazy.

BTW, proof is the wrong word. I'd settle for evidence. All I can ever seem to get from xtians is mental masturbation about the fucking "god" that they have concocted, though.

Doncha just love how he shifts what anyone says a little here, a little there, to where he can argue his pet strawmen?

Oh, and i think he is trying to see just how many threads he can hijack into running the same argument in.

So if they don't provide evidence, then they're hallucinating? Anytime someone beliefs a proposition without evidence for that proposition, they're "hallucinating"? That doesn't seem like the right word.
