To believe in God based on faith is no less an interview of common sense than to indiscriminately omit the reality that faith is a treasonable act of developmentally challenged allegiance to the absurd.

Those who died along with Jim Jones was no tragedy. They were all idiot believers. I feel no remorse what-so-ever. Their faith did its job.
All Christians and faith believers of God should kill themselves and become a martyr of their faith.

I mentioned to someone of faith: (me in " ")
"God created Adam and Eve, right?"
Yes.
"And Adam and Eve were given free will, right?"
Yes.
"And then Adam and Eve blew it, being cast from the Garden of Eden, which was like the paradise of Heaven, out into the life that we experience today, right?"
Yes.
"Then what leads anyone to believe NOW that when they go to Heaven that they won't get there and screw it all up again like Adam and Eve did? That, Adam and Eve had free will then, just as we have free will now. When people get to Heaven they will have free will, won't they?"
Yes. But there won't be any temptation in Heaven and maybe, just maybe, free will is actually the work of the devil and not something God set forth. Maybe only here there is temptation and free will, but not in Heaven.
Note: I have noticed that it really doesn't matter what sort of logic an Atheist uses. Believers are going to believe no matter what, it seems.
Tonight, while in a restaurant, I heard a man telling another man...
"I haven't gone to church for over 36 years. I'm not a Christian, but I am a believer!"
His statement ("I am a believer") was verbalized without any reservation, as though admitting that he was a believer was perfectly rational, when from my perspective, it was about the most irrational statement he could have made in a public place. When he said that he hadn't gone to church for over 36 years, I was thinking and listening for him to explain to the other man that he was an atheist or agnostic.
How disappointing that was for me. Yet another irrational thinker with psychosis within the masses of our society, and without any pretense, this mental illness is openly acceptable.
It makes me want to gag with intense obnoxiousness whenever I hear or witness that sort of psychotic behavior being accepted as truth in reality.
It is absolutely disgusting and mind-boggling.
As someone once quoted:
"Why should I listen or obey a God telling me how to raise my children when he had to drown his own."
Isn't that enough said to offer some sort of tangible proof to the religious half-wit, nit-wits that they have fallen for indulgence and lunacy?
"I refuse to believe in God because, quite frankly, there is plenty of proof in the Bible, churches and in all societies that offers factual evidence that there isn't one, unless you are relying on psychosis to evaluate those facts."

I am convinced that there has to be a way to prove that God does not exist, once and for all. Pulling that off will not happen over night, but soon I hope. What troubles me is, once it is proven beyond the shadow of any doubt, there will still be those with feeble minds who refuse to accept the facts. You will certainly find them sitting on a jury convicting the innocent. There is no place in our society (or humanity) for believers of supernatural anything. It is not "God" that I despise because there is no God. It is stubborn human stupidity that dares to tell me that I am the stupid one for not believing.

Yes.
It's a logical fallacy to prove a negative. For anything else to be absolutely disproved it's a fallacy; it has so far never been done.
To say that God might be disproved in future in particular; let alone soon - is like God is being treated as a special case, and God of course is not logically a special case.
No evidence of God like there's no evidence of many things. God is very improbable like many ridiculous ideas you can possibly come up with are...
God is not a special case whether he's a special case for something that DOESN'T need proof; or needs LESS proof, or different kinds of proof.....OR: if he's a special case because he is to be considered something that can be perhaps disproved in future; let alone the near future.
God is not a special case. So the negative proof fallacy still applies to him.
It's a fallacy to prove a negative. So it is included that it's a fallacy to prove God's non-existence too. Why wouldn't it be the same for God?
