Atheists and Christians should all give each other a congratulatory pat on the back for a lot of hard work - there are at least 2,500 deities supposedly knocking about (and maybe 28,000,000 or more). Christians simply disbelieve in one less god than atheists.To become an atheist, one must:
1. Ignore all evidence that demonstrates the existence of God.
2. Ignore Biblical warnings.
3. Ignore the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
That, to me, takes a lot of effort.
I think you may have gotten that backwards.Christians simply disbelieve in one less god than atheists.
That's because we can spot our God in a crowd.Atheists and Christians should all give each other a congratulatory pat on the back for a lot of hard work - there are at least 2,500 deities supposedly knocking about.

Nobody could accuse atheists of originality when it comes to their comments, could they? This must be only the 200,000th time I have heard that one this year.
A comment doesn't need to be original, to be accurate.
You can take it that way if you like, easy to see how you would , but fact is, until you can do something to support your case, I don't see the point. I doubt even all my posts are worth replying to so don't take it too badly.
So IN GOD WE TRUST is evidence of belief in Allah?
ONE NATION UNDER GOD is one nation under Ahura Mazda?
GOD IS MY PILOT means Darwin is at the helm?
BC/AD is pertaining to Quetzacoatl?
Actually, my understanding of science is what made it easy to be an atheist.

What do you suppose they think it means?... I don't think most atheists understand the concept of "evidence" as it's used in "science".
What do you suppose they think it means?
Not sure what you mean by this - evidence is always an effect of some cause... can you give an example to illustrate what you mean?Science does not impose an empirical "cause/effect" requirement in terms of claims about "evidence"
Similarly, it's not clear to me what you mean. It seems to me that science does have an empirical standard, acquiring knowledge by observation and experimentation. Can you give an example to demonstrate what you mean?...whereas atheists tend to apply a purely empirical standard as it relates to the topic of "God", but not "science" as a whole.

It's evidence of ideas, stories and beliefs in God. Countless people have written about dog-men, fairies, elves, spirits, superhuman heroes, animism, etc. For god beliefs, polytheism was the the norm until relatively recently (late Bronze Age).I observe that countless human beings have written about something they call God since the dawn of recorded civilization. How is that not "evidence" of God?
Ah, OK; you're just using this to crowbar in your obsession with LCDM. Not interested.Compare and contrast that to say any of the four supernatural components of LCDM theory. Can you empirically demonstrate that "space expansion", "inflation", "dark energy" or "dark matter" have any tangible effect on a photon in a lab?
Can you demonstrate the existence of any exotic forms of matter?
You might try QM concepts of "gravity". Can you demonstrate the existence of gravitons, or is that something that simply remains an "act of faith" on the part of the believer?
