The point of that was that believers contradict themselves by saying that God is beyond our grasp and at the same time turning around and defining God as loving, a father, etc. Now when something bad happens in the life of a believer, you would be hard pressed to hear them say that whatever...

There is a difference between discussing the origin of life, and making unfalsifiable claims without evidence about the origin of life. If religions were to say, “A god may have created the universe…” I would have no issue with it because it would be agnostic. But religions are not playful and...

It is fallacious to assume that all atheists hate God or are hardened against God which is what I see among many Christians. I cannot be hardened against something that lacks evidence. At best, atheists are hardened against the effects or consequences of belief in a god such as homophobia...

I never claimed I could prove that dark matter exists. I said it would either have be a very subtle type of object such as an x ray which would require the right instrument to observe, or it would just merely be a theory like gravity is. God is not even a subtle object, God transcends space and...

Ah, so now you see how ridiculous and obnoxious the idea of a winged rabbit is? That’s exactly how we atheists feel about God. You don’t think it’s a bit arrogant to reduce the universe to only two potential explanations as being either created by a god or completely random? There is so much to...

The dichotomy of there either being a creator or no creator is a false dichotomy because we haven’t ruled out all other explanations. The argument rests safely in our ignorance of the universe. It’s like saying, “I can’t explain the universe, science can’t explain everything, therefore God!” To...

I mean, all you really have to go off of here is my word that I checked through your link. He is using the classical teleological argument and invoking intelligent design. The teleological argument being that the universe must have a designer whereas the alternative is no designer and completely...

It’s funny how every religious follower thinks like an atheist when it comes to every other religion but their own.

So instead of a rational response, you chose an emotional one without any real argument.

You would be pointing to the top shelf because you actually know the winged rabbit is there and have seen it. But in this context, you have never seen a winged rabbit just like God can’t be seen. Or simply replace winged rabbit with all the other deities and gods of other religions. Same idea...

Because you don’t know the definition of atheism, which is the lack of belief in a god or gods. You cannot be skeptical of something and also be a believer. Have you ever seen a skeptical pastor? Have you ever heard a pastor preaching in church saying something along the lines of, “I don’t know...

Dark Dark matter would have to exist as an object, albeit a subtle one such as radio waves which could be observed using the right instruments. Other than that, it would be a theory a lot like gravity.

So you admit that religion is exclusive. Therefore, much of it is responsible for division and alienation. Christianity was definitely not solely behind the advancement of mankind, this is coming from an arrogant place. Much of mankind has been slowly moving away from Christianity and...

There’s also billions of Muslims who have publicly talking about the evidence of their lived experience. Saying what you’ve experienced is evidence is like me saying that my desert mirage is evidence-it’s not.

There is a flaw in your initial premise. Europe was not more technologically advanced than the rest of the world. It had military technological advancements that the Mesoamericas did not have. However, they were more advanced than Europeans in many areas such as astronomy, math, and agriculture...

Education should not be confused with indoctrination. The Catholic Church was the strongest advocate of their version of education.

Evidence that I will accept for God’s existence is obviously the existence of God as any other object. Atheism actually values evidence, that’s all an atheist asks for. Lived experiences are very individual and private. You can have a mystical experience due to drugs, hallucinations, hypnosis...

Due to the freedom to pursue other ideas which would go against the Church. Don’t forget that the Age of Enlightenment also began in Europe because people got tired of religious conflict. It should be noted that the Christian church at times has opposed and sought to prevent scientific...

I don’t believe though. I don’t believe that there is no God because I can’t prove it anymore than you can. I am simply lacking of belief. Belief in God is never logical, it’s really the opposite: it’s irrational. The evidence is simply not there. At best you can say that belief in God is...

“The symmetry in the pattern of the solar system” as a basis for God’s existence is an argument from ignorance which leads to “god of the gaps”. There are also many chaotic events without any rhyme or reason which completely blows the “intelligent design” argument apart. God himself cannot be...
