    Debating with an atheist; need advice.

    Recently me and a friend of mine, who came out as an atheist recently have been debating nonstop for the past month or so. I learned that he used to be a Christian himself, until he started reading the bible more mindfully. He was made aware of all the "bad things" that happened, such as God...

    There is no logical argument to support ATHEISM

    Can any atheist provide a logical argument that supports your belief that there is no God? Not that the religious ideas of God. But that there is no God that designed the universe and created life purposefully. I've seen that most atheist generally attack religion and ask for empirical...

    Hi - nice atheist here

    Hi there! I'm an atheist who enjoys talking to and debating with Christians and others in a mutually-respectful manner. Our outlook is part of what we are, and even if our outlooks are radically and fundamentally different, I think each "side" can learn a lot from the other. I'm pretty far out...

    Is atheism Plain Rash? An argument Presented.

    Atheism concludes that God does not exist. To attain to the conclusion, atheism must first ask the question, ‘does God exist?’. By asking this question concerning the existence of God, the atheist must reduce God down to the level of a creature. An example will show why the reduction of God down...

    Why would we be thrown in the middle of a war?

    I do not identify as a Christian. I hardly identify as anything outside of the terminology of "Human Being." With that being said, as a human being I am concerned with the current state of the world and where it is headed. Many people make correlations between the current state of the world and...

    In the links below is summary of talks between Theism and Non-believers. The main results: 1) "Atheism" is anti-idolatry, 2) False atheism is denial of God, 3) The proofs of God are objective, because a proof can not be subjective, 4) The proofs (including the "5 ways of Thomas A.") are not...

    Philosophy is alive and strong

    The famous astrophysicist and the amateur philosopher the "atheist" Stephen Hawking has written in his famous book "Grand Design": Might it was caused by his atheism? The atheism is the denial of Religion, but the Atheism is not a religion itself? I tend to think, that rejection of the...

    The meaning of 'atheist'

    There has been much conversation in this forum about the meaning of atheism. I've argued that defining atheism as a mere lack of belief is insufficient (see here, here, and here). I've been told that atheists get to decide what atheism means and that I should just keep quiet. But atheists...

    Tricks New Atheists Play (Part 2)

    In "Tricks 1" I highlighted how the New Atheists attempt to redefine "Atheism," so as to avoid defending the claim, God does not exist." They do this by equivocation and a false dichotomy. Today, I will introduce another example of bad, irrational thinking. The goal of this series will be to...

    Why do some Christians act so hostile toward questions?

    It seems like often when doubters/agnostics/atheists present questions or problems to Christians, some get hostile. They say that they're trying to spread deceit, that they aren't true Christians, that doubting is dangerous, that they'll go to hell, etc. Why do many seem so afraid to question...
