Null Hypothesis

There you go. Knock yourself out.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I believe in THOR. Give me a reason not to.


That's not how burden of proof works, Mr. Cute.

I learned nothing other than I already knew. Please, give me something useful. I feel like no one around here actually knows why they are atheist. It seems to me that its just a bunch of people with anti-religious sentiment talking about how much they hate religion for whatever reason. I don't see much real evidence for me to become an Atheist.

Evidence of a god, please.


And furthermore, evidence that it is the Abrahamic god and not MIGHTY THOR.

I agree with you that the God of Abraham is not Thor. Thor was a demi-god, not a god. I don't agree with you though that that was a real answer. I think that it was just a refutation to try and get me out of here. You think I'm an annoying Christian. And I find that sad. No one wants to have a real conversation. I thought you atheists were better than that. I thought I would be challenged by academic people. I guess not.
