Quote: Us, the atheists need to prove, and anything we have as proof isn't good enough. Of course, when the shoe is on the other foot...Yeah it's typical nonsense from them. They expect us to take their word for it without a shred of evidence and when we have a better explanation that has enormous amounts of evidence, they insist it isn't enough. Very one sided with them. Special pleading is a common fallacious argument with them.
Quote:The problem with the whole thing is that atheists have got to provide proof in absolutes. We've got to mean what we say and say what we mean. The religious folks are allowed to bend and interpret and change the meanings of things to suit their needs. That is why I find most arguments on behalf of the religious to be nonsense. I need to provide an absolute, black and white, infallible statement of evidence. You get to point at an ancient book, whose inconsistencies do not matter just because. And really, that's the reason. Just because.And that's why I walk away from them. The really annoying ones I put on ignore. 6 on ignore so far.
The ones I prefer to debate with are those who know what atheism is, who understands that I'm fully aware of their beliefs and so won't jump to "You're just ignorant!", and is genuinely interested in sharing and discussing different points of views, kindly and patiently. Not a lot here who actually understands and discuss in that way.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
