Atheists... why do you believe that God doesn't exist?

[Fidel_Castronaut]

In the bible god interacts with the 'natural' world all the time, doesn't it?

[pocaracas]

You claim your belief in one specific supernatural entity is rational, and belief in other supernatural entities is irrational, but cannot substantiate why.

Can you see what a ridiculous question that is? Why do I have to justify what I don't believe in?

I know the justifications for what I believe in, and can and have supported that in depth on this forum many times.

Actually, of all the threads I've read in this forum where you participated, I fail to remember a single one where you have "supported that in depth".

At best, what I remember is you claiming you have perfectly logical reasons to believe in the metaphysical "thing" that you believe in.
What those reasons are and what the logic involved is... I'm afraid I've missed them.

Mind you, I may have missed the threads where you think you actually did that... as such, would you be a dear and provide links to the particular posts where you have already explained yourself "in depth"?

"Why do I believe that God does not exist?"

I don't know God, but I believe he exists in the minds of all who believe in him. God exists in the same way that my son's stuffed animal wanted a glass of water last night at bed-time. He exists in the way ghosts make creaky noises in my mother's attic. God exists in the way that people think there was a good reason for their child to die from cancer. God occupies the same domain as these kinds of things and many MANY more. Some of them are mutually exclusive and incompatible, but that is the nature of the word "God". The definition of God represents reality in the minds of those who agree with each other about how fantasies should be interpreted so as to perpetuate a shared delusion.

Well you've proved that you have little understanding of the English language or logical fallacy, so this would be a rare catch for you.

Is there a better term for when a conclusion is assumed, maybe a loaded question. Or your stupid poll with the "doctrine of belief that there is no god " what the fuck is wrong with you? It's like you tried your hardest to not understand an atheists position.

So how do you think the question should have been worded?
Atheists... why do you believe that God don't exist?
Atheists... why don't you believe that God exists?

Both questions beg the question in the first place.

An intellectual honest person would have asked it like this; Atheists, why do you believe there is no god? because it doesn't assume that there's a god to reject. You start with the default presumption that there is no assumption of a god.

1. That's not correct English
2. The point of the question is to discover an actual belief that God doesn't exist. This is what some atheists in another thread were insisting was the majority position, was my opinion. I didn't want to know what atheists 'didn't' believe.

Your position is that you assume god exists and try to make us answer a loaded question with a fallacious poll.

NO SUPERNATURAL ENTITY CAN POSSIBLY HAVE NATURAL EVIDENCE OF ITS EXISTENCE.

I have never made such an error.

By asking the question you are making that error.

Do you understand? You cannot be this stupid.

If something has an impact on the natural world, it should leave evidence of its existence. If supernatural forces don't leave evidence, then I can't imagine them doing anything substantial, so they may as well not exist. Why should anyone base their lives and beliefs around something that can't possibly be proven true?

Could the supernatural cause leave any natural evidence that it was the creator: no.

Then, it is also incapable of creating the physical universe.

[NoraBrimstone]

NO SUPERNATURAL ENTITY CAN POSSIBLY HAVE NATURAL EVIDENCE OF ITS EXISTENCE.

BECAUSE SUPERNATURAL = NONEXISTENT.

[fr0d0]

BECAUSE SUPERNATURAL = NONEXISTENT NATURALLY

Fixed that for you

Ryan : read and understand. How do you know that God didn't do it? Unless you have supernatural abilities, and I'm not saying you don't, you can't know.
