Atheists can I be wrong?

[Drich]

Thanks. Then you can too. I guess we will see in the end. :Razz: move along.

Pointless thread is pointless

We already know we can be wrong. Realizing that often leads a previously religious person to become an atheist.

Thanks. Then you can too.

Oh thank gawd! Then we can both agree to dispense with the senseless proselytizing? Very good. Go as wrong as you please but this lemming doesn't choose to follow you over that cliff.

Very true, and the best way to properly ascertain truth is the scientific method and assessing the evidence.
Got any evidence?

[Simon Moon]

Thanks. Then you can too.

We are aware we could be wrong. Very few atheists claim to be absolutely certain that a god or gods do not exist.

The thing is, at least we have a method to evaluate whether our beliefs are true, or at least likely to be true.

Your method is incredibly susceptible to confirmation bias and wishful thinking.

Damn, you said what I meant to say better than me.

Actually no, for a bog standard Agnostic Atheist we have made no claims, so we cannot be wrong. (If we were to claim that No Gods exist then yes we could be shown to be wrong).

Why is it so difficult???

[Minimalist]

Drippy, your problem is that you are never right.

Thanks for the newsflash, but I was once married ... I heard how wrong I could be most days.
