There is evidence for anything you set your mind to.
Ok....
Atheism = lack of a belief in god.
You're asking me about morality? I can give you an answer if you want, but it won't have anything to do with atheism.
My conclusion that atheism is true isn't based on the above lol.
No....there isn't.
Was the sound on?
Not every thread is about the truth of atheism.
How do you know?
So you don't believe that there are any morals/ethics apart from belief in God?
If you don't want to bother with explaining what you think it's about....don't.
We're done talking.
Let me help you with this:
Scenario:
200 years from now,the world is united in one happy and bubbly global village. All those imposing religions have been done away with...or maybe they've just been relegated to the texts of higher learning for explanatory purposes...or whatever. Now, the news has just announced that the majority of the population has just approved and is pushing for the minority of the populace to be systematically eradicated. In this post religious world, where belief in God has sunk to maybe 5% of the population, you find yourself in the minority. What will you appeal to in an attempt to preserve your life...or perhaps the lives of any others you may care for?
I never said that.
How do I know what?
You made an absurd statement....how hard are you going to cling to it?
The first page of this thread explains fairly clearly what the thread is about.
So, on what basis would you
Can you really not follow this conversation?
Then, will you answer the scenario?
I dunno.....I can't really explain what moral framework I would invent for a situation I've never been in.
You said that you can "find evidence for anything" which is an absurd statement because it completely contradicts the meaning of evidence.
For example if I can find a lot of evidence that I wasn't shot in the foot by a 9mm 5 minutes ago...then I logically cannot find evidence that I was shot in the foot by a 9mm 5 minutes ago.
It just seems like you don't understand what evidence is.
Maybe you can incorporate photosynthesis as a metaphor for life.
You forgot the part where I said "If you put your mind to it"...better yet...use your imagination!
Sure....I'd tell everyone that I have superpowers that keep the sun from burning out and if they kill me, the sun will burn out.
Evidence can't be imagined. On the upside though...you've confirmed my suspicions about your inability to understand what evidence is.
Since I happen to like diversity I would argue that so long as that group intends no harm to me or others that having their opinion spoken for others to hear provides richness to my life, even if their words are bitter to me.
Atheism itself does not lead to my conclusions, but it does give a blank slate which does not despise large portions of the population.
And everything you speak of has already happened to religious minorities without any involvement by atheists. It seems to be an all too common thing whenever any religion get to be a substantial majority, far less than 95% needed.
What about the others?
