Why atheism?

And to choose to believe in atheism is not difficult, but I say this as a christian: why would you even think there is something in the past that causes us to be able to disbelieve? What in nature could possibly cause the belief in atheism even? Or will you cease to be rational and put atheism as a rationaless belief, a pure monkey hybrid kind of fact? Surely not. And surely not to there being something in our past that can cause us to (naturally) disbelieve in God.

Well, dear sir - your heart can kindly go f*** itself.

We atheists know that all that Jebus shtick is pure hypocrisy. You're obviously trying to convince weak-minded people to "turn the other cheek", so that you can fleece them and f*** their children, with no fear of retaliation.

Is it because their evidence is lacking?

Beccs I hate to put this like this to you but yes. The theist "religion" is actually DIFFERENT than atheism. If you ever actuallly meet a sincere theist one day, you will undoubtedly be convinced.

It is also not the evidence you provide. It's the way you approach the topic you're presenting. You can be a balls to the wall atheist, hard pressed, finger pressing or whatever, but if you are not sincere, you will never see the actual battle theists see as it really does unfold. It's all about the evidence anyhow beccs, trying to intepret God is actually the first thing christians jump to (as compared to you atheists). Therefore, convincing you God is real is as easy as convincing a child.

I fail simply to see how so many have failed to convince you.

Well then get to convincing Buster Dodgy

An easy way to convert us all, is to prove there is a god. 

Atheism is not a dogmatic position. 


If you were actually reading all the responses to your posts, you would notice a pretty common theme. And that is, that we are atheists because we are unconvinced by the arguments put forth by theists that a god exists.

If we were convinced, then we wouldn't be atheists. 

I get the impression that you do not understand how basic logic and critical thinking work.

I get the impression that you don't understand the meaning of my opening post. You must make a choice to believe in God simon moon. You ask that question to anyone in the world and you will discover that it is quite simply true.

And abundantly obvious. But simple minded atheists would never understand it.

And a christian would never- and I do mean ever- stoop so low as to prove to you that there is a God.

Why not pastafarianism? It is after all the only correct belief system.

Yes, I know theism is different from atheism: that's the point we've been making.  Atheism is a non belief in deities.

Oh, the "not real Christian™" argument.

The various theists, whether Christian, Muslim or, in one memorable instance, Scientologist, have been VERY sincere, devout, and determined.

It's their evidence that is always lacking.  It always comes down to personal experiences, claims from incredulity, or, when all else fails, threats of an imaginary torment.

And I've encountered plenty who have made the same claims I'm seeing here: variants of "Just open your heart" (something difficult, even for a cardiologist), and the like.
