If you can't believe in God because you exist, nature exists, the stars and wonders of the galaxy are there to see, and there is no thing that proves why it is there save for God making it so, how is God to get through?
I have, but until there's a response, I can't put aside my unbelief. Can a person just believe in something as a choice?
A desire for there to be something more, though I haven't yet seen evidence of it.What prevents you from accepting your disbelief?

Technically speaking, I accept that I disbelieve, I just haven't given up on the possibility I might believe in something someday.
It goes back to the point of the OP, I'm open to God to reveal Himself, but He hasn't yet
Atheism unfortunately is an argument from ignorance. Willful ignorance isn't easily persuaded to become educated.Perhaps by providing actual evidence instead of wanting us to rely on arguments from ignorance...

That's funny. I read atheists in this forum arguing against the existence of God.Atheism isn't an argument. It's a denial of a claim.
You're on a forum dedicated to everything you claim doesn't exist. The Bible tells Christians that there is a God and why. Therefore the evidence of God is satisfied.I'm not willfully ignorant, so present your evidence of any god...

Atheism isn't the denial of a claim. Atheism is the statement that there is no God.

Conversely, the atheist argues without proof that no thing that is demonstrated as evidence of God according to Christian doctrine exists. Therefore the burden is on the atheist to prove that all that is in the belief of the Christians that hold to God as creator isn't there.
Because the argument about evolution isn't proof. It is a theory that has absolutely no substantive proof of fact. What is termed to have initiated all things, the so named, big bang, is unsustainable for one very good reason, or fact. No scientist can prove what created that which was caused to bang!
Whereas in Christian doctrine God is source. The first cause behind all that exists. You see, that is what you're arguing against. And failing. Because the Christians believe God exists in all that is because he is the source of all that is. And since you exist in a material universe, a material three dimensional plane that is made so by what Christians believe is God as source for it, you are the one that has to prove that existence that Christians believe is due to God isn't due to God.
You're arguing about beliefs here. Christians believe. Atheists don't. That lack of belief isn't proof that Christians belief isn't real. Especially when posited from within a material third dimensional realm.
The atheist arguing what amounts to, nuhuh, god isn't there, isn't proof God isn't there when an atheist is there making the claim.
Get it?
Probably not. That's OK too. Being a member here for some twelve years says a lot . Not about your atheism. But about your motives.

If we do not have a viable explanation for something, "God did it" does not win by default. You need to actually justify your claim that God did it!
Atheism in the Greek translates as, no god. A-theos. That is the statement that god does not exist. As in, no such thing as .Atheism is the lack of belief in deities. That's it. I don't believe that Bigfoot exists. However, I don't state that Bigfoot doesn't exist. If someone finds Bigfoot tomorrow and presents the evidence for everyone to see, I will be very impressed. The same for deities.
You're here to correct what you said above in the first sentence? The etymology behind the word atheism affords the stance of , no deity. It therefore isn't a false teaching afforded by Christians. Rather, it is the etymology of the word atheism that states atheists align with the belief there are no god's.We are here to correct the false things that are said about atheists by Christians, such as atheism requires the stance that there are no deities.
I'd wonder why someone who claims they're an atheist doesn't know what atheism's etymology is.How come we're getting all these new members that have absolutely no idea what atheism is...?
Seems common with atheists actually. They don't comprehend that the burden is met when they're trying to argue with Christians that their God doesn't exist.And in process of that attempt claim Christians don't know what atheism is when Christians recognize atheism is the belief there are no gods.And a lack of understanding of the burden of proof...
Even it's theory is lacking in this case.Or the fact that science doesn't prove things...
You resort to that claim a lot it seems. Make no mistake, I'm not here to try to persuade you that God exists.Or what circular reasoning is...
I consider the source.Well, at least in this paragraph you started out strong...
I didn't try a thing.I don't argue that there are no gods. But nice try.
You're the one that identifies as seeker.So what are my motives, creepy stalker person?
