RE: Atheists
The OP is perfect proof of something coming from nothing.
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.'

On the off chance that you're not a shit-and-run minute and 37 second wonder....


Why should I want to do such a thing? Why should I need to.

Indeed. Such shifting of the burden of proof only highlights the probability - nay, certainty - that the forthcoming argument proposing deific design is vacuous at best. Or to put it another way: this guy ain't got shit.

Why do you think something coming from god is the same as something coming from nothing? I don't think either of us know whether there was ever a pure nothing before there was anything else. It seems we both believe in preexisting conditions sufficient to bring about the universe. You call it god while I admit I don't know what those preexisting conditions were exactly .. just that they were sufficient to account for everything we know. Since you largely leave god undefined we're really in the same boat except for the labels.

I suspect AF has gotten a lot of these visitors over the years. I wonder if he'll come back...

What is it with theists thinking these simplistic gotcha questions are going to stump us? Don't they bother to learn before they come here and embarrass themselves? Rolleyes

What's nothing, Wizard? Dodgy

I saw a video where the comedian supposedly "destroyed atheism with one question.". That question was "If you don't believe he exists, why does he offend you?". Of course then all we have to do is mention things like the crusades, inquisition, witch hunts, and the decay of the first secular country in recent history (USA). If not the first secular country period.

When you have a book that explicitly tells you to kill people that don't worship your god, there are going to be problems. Sure Jesus said to love your neighbor, and even your enemy. He also said to drown people that lead others away from christianity.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.

No


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
