What is your favourite positive argument for atheism/unbelief?

[Jackie]

Don't sweat it. If I really thought you hated me but more importantly if I really thought you were evil I wouldn't talk to you.

Cool It was never about hate, just frustration, but I think that happens to everybody from time to time.

Everybody has a mom too. 

I'd be more upset if you had said that in my mom's memorial thread, but I am assuming, because honestly I don't remember the post where you said "fuck off" to me had anything to do my mom in any case.

Sorry, I don't really follow you here; I just offered my condolences after what you said about your mother's death, and her last moments, in this thread. But that statement had nothing to do with our argument.

If the worst I get in my life is a "fuck off" I am doing good. Kurdish Christians, minority Muslims and LGBT and atheists have it far worse in other parts of the world. I will let you know if you really are upsetting me. But even then it would still be your choice to continue conversing with me or my choice to block you.

Indeed and thanks

I think the solution to our species differences are to hand out machetes .....

Or better yet, the chill pills or

I'll take the beer, you can keep the pot, but nether of us drive afterwords. That's all I can offer now that you have taken my killing spree away. You are such a killjoy.  Poor machetes what did they ever do to you?

I'm guessing either little Rick put me on ignore-- or I used too many big words for him to comprehend.

Not at all Luckie.
I only put on ignore a sub human that called my mother a whore on two occasions for no reasons other than try to discharge his frustration and mental problems on me but that is past.

About your long post I did not reply for both a lack of time and the fact that I already went through that topic but because you are so concern I reply and explain once again now.

You take a grasshopper.
Cut his head (don't do but that is what would happen if you do).
Even after few minutes that that happen the poor thing keep on jumping around.
How is that possible?
It is all about the nerves that keep on doing what they were doing before when the brain was directing them to do so.

In humans something similar happen.
Activity inside the brain is still there but the consciousness is gone therefore there can not be any real
experience other than an NDE experience.
Not even hallucinations because hallucination happen only when the consciousness is still there and the person is still alive.

Oh fuck. This is turning into a Rik thread isn't it?

Fuck it.

My favorite argument isn't the lack of evidence, but rather the fact that they're all using the same terrible evidence.

Every religion makes claims of answering prayer, improving life, miraculous occurrences, and being "the one true science." They all defend their gods with the same logically fallacious bullshit.

If any religious person were being truly objective, they would see that if they accept the "evidence" supporting their own beliefs, they must also accept all the other beliefs that rely on the same evidence.
