Is there some sort of initiation where christians are made to visit atheist sites, post bullshit then never return coz there seems to be a lot of it. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

This has got to be one of the most moronic questions a theist could ask. Right up there with, "why are you angry with god?".
This demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of logic, and more specifically, where the burden of proof lies. The sad thing is, the OP will probably remain willfully ignorant and continue to ask this question, if not here, on another forum. You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

It is completely irrelevant as OP made no claims as to whether or not there is a god. It was a simple question what evidence is there that disproves the existence of a god? A simple answer would be we don't have any proofs, whoever told you there was some lied. As for myself I don't even believe there is no god. I simply don't believe in any gods.

There is a difference between making the negative claim "no gods exist" and not making the positive claim "gods exist". I don't know anyone who actually asserts the first. Most people here simply just don't claim any gods exist. Yes, if someone says "no gods exist", the burden of proof is on them to show that; however, if someone says "gods exist", then they must prove that statement.

Now present your evidence that you didn't do it.
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.'
Theists are never held to the same standard as they want to hold atheists to.

Then they demand the atheists provide evidence for why they disbelieve in the deity they're asserting exists. It's absolutely ludicrous, and they keep getting away with it.

They think they get away with it and that it's perfectly acceptable, but I don't think they're actually getting away with it.

How can there be evidence for the non-existence of something? you're trying to shift the burden of proof in your wording. What you're probably trying to say is there are many evidences against the existence of a god. Or that there is no good evidence for a god. Not that there's evidence that there's evidence to prove a negative. (April 25, 2014 at 6:38 pm)Walker_Lee Wrote: Whenever i ask for it they dodge answering. I'm immediately skeptical when the theist claims he wasn't the one dodging, it was the atheists. Historically inaccurate.

Your religious views are conflicting since Jesus came from a religion. "I have a relationship with Jesus, no religion" ![[Image: i_have_a_personal_relationship_with_jesu...vr_324.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=rlv.zcache.ca%2Fi_have_a_personal_relationship_with_jesus_poster-rd62eedc1d95a472da09df41f9f526f04_wvk_8byvr_324.jpg)
If the hypothetical idea of an afterlife means more to you than the objectively true reality we all share, then you deserve no respect.

I have as much evidence against as you have for, with the added bonus that I don't have to resort to supernatural explanations. |
