When Atheists Can't Think Episode 1: No Evidence for God?

[Delicate]

The "credible" part leaves room for these intellectually dishonest conmen to move the goalposts. You won't see a prior, coherent, rigorous definition of credible from them, which they will consistently apply to their claims.

[Cyberman]

Try presenting some and we'll see how credible it is.

[Cato]

Jesus fucking Christ. There is no goddamn evidence. If there were, you would be triumphantly shoving it up our asses. These so called philosophical arguments are bunk. All they do is establish some supposed mystery that can only be resolved by invoking an attribute of God, an attribute assigned without observation prior to developing the argument; begs the question.

All these arguments do is kick the can down the road. Once God is invoked as a solution the reasonable question becomes, 'how do you know God possesses said attribute?'. The only honest reply is that it can be imagined. You cannot possibly have any supporting evidence for God let alone a demonstration of God having whatever particular attribute is required to resolve the particular argument in question.

It's a charade. There is no evidence.

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Ok, so why do you believe your ideas, which we are so blind to, are true in fact?

[Homeless Nutter]

There is no evidence, because if there was - what about our free-f***ing-will? God can't save dying children, because revealing himself would - allegedly - eliminate free will. But he leaves EVIDENCE - obvious enough for inbred f*ck-tards to find? LOL...

Yeah - if there was evidence, every douche-nozzle around the world would be praying to the same god - just like every country in the world wants to have the same nuclear energy, instead of making up their own super-weapon technology - because we actually have evidence for it.

Oh, I just love a good deflection for a bedtime snack, and that one's a real classic!

Are you counting Stimbo?

The problem is that Delicate is actually arguing for two things couched in the same language:

1. That a god exists
2. That it's her(?) god

2 doesn't necessarily follow from 1, yet 1 is predicated on 2, namely that the creature in question just happens to have the characteristics of the god they believe in.  Convenient, that.

I can imagine all sorts of creatures that could be powerful enough to create a universe, yet not be omniscient or omnipotent or any of the things they demand we take at their word that their god has.  I see no reason to acquiesce to that particular demand in the arguments' premises.

[Cyberman]

Are you counting Stimbo?

Am I counting what? The number of pages that go past filled with desperate contortions wearing a sign saying "evidence"?

[Brian37]

Fucking dolt. I already handed you your ass on this in the other thread. I'll repeat the argument anyway.

Evidence for QM exists regardless of any individual's ignorance. The evidence is made available and is repeatable for any and all to see and participate in if they so choose. The same cannot be said for supposed evidence for god. If there was one shred of evidence it would be made known immediately for all to see. The fact that instead of demonstrating said evidence you choose to say that we are too blind to see suggests you have absolutely nothing.

There is also no such thing as theistic evidence. You've got nothing but bullshit arguments that setup some type of ignorant quandary in which to insert your notion of god. It's ridiculous, it's not evidence. You cannot define or argue your deity into existence.

You expect me to take this bullshit seriously?

Not bullshit and yes you should take all of us seriously. You got sold an invisible sky wizard claim you think is pretty. 7 billion humans and 10,000s different religions but lucky us, you found the right one. Humans have always made up gods. So like we say to people with other pet sky wizard claims, get it in a lab and prove it! Claims are like assholes, everyone has one.
