Atheism (2)

[Gadarene]

that pretty much sums it up.

now prove it

It certainly sums up the constraints on your debating ability.

Lest we forget, no atheist here has claimed that god does not exist. You claim he does. Burden of proof has always been on you.

You might want to stop evading at some point.

 

[Gadarene]

this is an athiest thread, so prove your athiesm. I don't need to prove Christianity. It's not a christian topic!

Ha, no.

Again - the atheists here are weak atheists. Weak atheism does not involve making a claim of nonexistence.

You are claiming that god does exist. Burden of proof is on you.

 

[createdtoworship]

Ha, no.

Again - the atheists here are weak atheists. Weak atheism does not involve making a claim of nonexistence.

You are claiming that god does exist. Burden of proof is on you.

I already said I was not putting any more evidence out there until you prove that God does not exist on your finger tips.

Why? That was never my claim.

Strawman fallacy and another evasion. Burden of proof is still on you.

This is getting rather pathetic.

now prove it

So, the only thing we should believe in that is un-evidenced... is the thing you believe in. Got it. No confirmation bias at all...

Prove what?

 

[createdtoworship]

Why? That was never my claim.

Strawman fallacy.

This is getting rather pathetic.

so then prove God does not exist, your the one claiming He doesn't so the burden of proof is on you.

The first statement made was regarding a definition of atheism , so I know for a fact that the burden of proof is on the athiest making the claim.

so answer it or this convo is over.

It appears that there is a misconception about the definition of Atheism.

I'll reiterate the definition.

An Atheist is one who rejects the belief in Deities.


Atheism is NOT a worldview.
Atheism is NOT a belief system.
Atheism is NOT a religion.
Atheism is NOT a set of ethics.

Atheism has as much to do with morality, science or religion as a ham sandwich has to do with a bicycle.

Any attempt to make Atheism synonymous with anything else is is simply presumptuous misleading and fallacious.

For the n-th time - I have not claimed that God does not exist. I have clarified this several times already.

The first statement made was regarding a definition of atheism , so I know for a fact that the burden of proof is on the athiest making the claim.

It was a definition involving a lack of BELIEF in the existence of gods, not about the existence of gods itself.

I don't think there is evidence for gods, I don't think belief based on a lack of evidence is ever justifiable, ergo, I lack belief in gods. Perfectly simple, but it still eludes you.

This conversation is definitely over. You have evidently not been paying attention since the first statement.

I win, see ya.

 

[Gadarene]

I win, see ya.

Nope. Strawman fallacy from start to finish, as I already pointed out.

Dunning-Kruger effect in action here, folks.

Are you serious? Obviously you do not understand what an Atheist is...Look it up.

Atheism rejects the claim that gods exist, the burden of proof is on the one asserting the claim that gods exist.

 

[Non sequitur]

I win, see ya.

Except for I won, by default. You do not appear to understand words and stuff.

Go me, for declaring myself the winner!

For the sake of positive progression and common understanding in future discussions on this thread let me make a very important point.

The statement below is a fallacy.

"An Atheist is one who holds a belief in the non existence of gods"

He said that there is no evidence for the existence of God,

I said that there is no evidence for the non existence of God...

who is correct?

you were not even part of discusssion,

lol

 

[madaz]

I said that there is no evidence for the non existence of God...

Take a minute to think about your statement above....

What would be the evidence for the non existence of gods?

Answer-No evidence.

No evidence is the evidence against the existence of gods.

 

[Non sequitur]

He said that there is no evidence for the existence of God,

I said that there is no evidence for the non existence of God...

who is correct?

Both.

No evidence neither confirms nor denies things.

However, a lack of evidence suggests that (the) thing does not exist.

exactly.

 

[Non sequitur]

exactly.

That's what a "lack of" is, by its very nature.

 

[madaz]

A christian can not rightfully claim that gods exist, yet they do make this claim.

A strong Atheist can not rightfully claim that gods do not exist, yet they do make this claim.

There is NO evidence for deities.

Therefore

The only reasonable position is to dismiss the belief in deities until we have some evidence.

Beliefs in these matters is purely personal.
