Brent's Atheism as Annoying as Bible Thumper

[Mansonmark]

I see, so if you don't believe in the easter bunny that's your "doctrine"? Sorry, it doesn't work that way. As I've clearly stated, lack of belief is not a doctrine. Look, if I tell you that I can fly, yet offer no proof, do you have to prove I can't to not believe what I tell you? Of course not. If I claim something extraordinary I must provide the proof to back it up. Just because some people say god exists doesn't mean I need to have proof he doesn't to not believe. The lack of any evidence of god's existence is all the proof required not to believe. It must give you some personal comfort to think that Atheists are the same and "believe in something", but that's simply not the case. If god showed up tomorrow and said "Yo bitch, what up?" I would not continue to say he didn't exist. Neither would I have to "believe" in his existence, since proof was offered it would be a fact, requiring no "faith".

You continue to defend your belief (like a Christian or Muslim or Jew etc). An Atheist derives their feeling of superiority from the belief that they "know" the truth therefore are enlightened in the same manner that a Christian does. Regardless of what you believe at the end of the day a Christian cannot prove God exists and an Atheist cannot prove that God does not.
That my friend is a fact........

The only fact is that you are dense and obviously have no concept of logic. I've spelled it out clearly enough that a third grader should get it. I'm a non-believer, get it? I should know better than to argue with a "believer".

I am not defending Christianity it is your assumption that I am a believer. Logic??? Your argument lacks logic; I don't have to prove my non belief to make it true??? Without proof it is only your opinion. You say a Christian can't prove God exists and you can't prove he doesn't. Some things can be proven as absolutes the existance or lack there of of God cannot be. At the end of the day everyone is left with their belief. This may help you understand;


See web results for belief

Are you kidding? Why don't you read the definitions you provided. They clearly show that my lack of belief is obviously not a belief. You are obviously a "believer" and can't comprehend the idea of not believing. That's your shortcoming, not mine. Since you enjoy online definitions:

Nonbeliever:
One who does not believe or have faith, as in God or a philosophy.

I was a run-of-the-mill stone-cold atheist for years until I came across a particular blog post. Let me share with you what convinced me to endorse theological logicism.

What we, as humans, consider logic, may not apply to the actual structure of the universe. Basically I'm suggesting that humans may not be able to understand the true structure of reality. Similar to the way a dog can see a book, can see words, but will never comprehend what those symbols mean. The universe may or may not have a logical structure that humans can understand.
Regardless, you seemed to have latched on to this very limited definition of god= logical structure. That certainly has no correlation to the myths and "rules" that most believers apply, as they see fit, to their definition of god and religion. "Logical Structure" doesn't require worship, faith, prayer,etc. it simply is. If you want to call that "god", or Tom, Dick, or Harry, doesn't make it so. The term "god" has a basic connotation as something beyond the physical laws of the universe.
