Conversation with An Atheist

[Wrangler]

Everyone on the planet was born an atheist

It’s amazing to read such posts from one claiming it’s all subjective opinion.

This is incorrect. Atheism is a position that makes no claims about the existence of God.

You can’t believe this is true. What dictionary do you rely on?

 

[Wrangler]

Atheism is the default position, it's up to the person making the positive claim to prove it.

You are falsely equating an argument with facts. In this case, the very meaning of words.

I see why you shy away from claiming to be an atheist, which very much makes a positive claim as much as theists do.

Is your God perfectly good?
If so, why does he allow evil?

The price for Liberty is to allow others to make bad choices.

Is the Bible the word of God or the contradictory word of man...

“Honor thy father and thy mother…”– Exodus 20:12

“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. ” — Luke 14:26

It’s a cheap shot to hold a highly metaphorical book to literal standards. The first is an absolute statement. The second is relative - even though it is worded poetically as absolute.

Consider the 1C. It doesn’t deny other gods, judges, law makers, master, rulers. It only positions them below the importance of the Creator.

It is NOT merely nihilistic disbelief. Atheism, by definition, remains theocentric.

What does that mean in english?

Yes and when voters in the US vote in the communists and the moslems, that's liberty at work!

They are using their liberty to embrace evil and darkness.
