James : “The burden of proof is on the theist” This premise is flawed. Christians believe the bible is the word of God and glean everything from these writings. In a court of law when a claim is made (such as with a personal will) and someone contests it, the burden of proof lies not with the claimant but with the one contesting the document. They must prove the document is in error. In other words “Innocent until found guilty”. Christians have nothing to prove. The one contesting does.

This is a simple falsehood, or at least a misunderstanding of how the court of law works. The theist is making the claim that, to take the Christianity example, the bible is the word of God, and everything in it is true. In the same way, a prosecutor may make the claim that Joe Bloggs committed the murder on Friday at 10PM. It is up to both these people to provide evidence for their claims. There is no contradiction here; "innocence" here is simply the position that the claim is not true, or has not yet been satisfactorily shown to be correct.

Somebody made the Big Mac you ate, just like somebody fed you the postmodern ideas your dishing out right now.

“Can you prove that an invisible pink elephant is not floating above your head?”"

Proof is sufficinat evidence to convince. Convince who? You, Me them? I have come to understand that pink elephants exist in the minds of people. So do gods and devils. I never saw a pink elephant. That does not mean it does not exist in someone else’s mind.
Yes the bricks and mortar that make up the human body is quite real. But what makes up his mind? Is it atoms or chemistry, or is it imagination. and what is imagination? You have it like we all do.
What is it and where did it come from. was it the big mac that I ate today, that is putting these thoughts into my head?

I’ve actually played this game in the past in which I respond to anti-Jewish statements by ridiculing the Christians. ,

I just wanted to tell you that claiming that God does not exist or that God does exist is arrogant. Everyone is an Agnostic because they/we do not know nor could we ever. I am an Agnostic Atheist meaning I don’t know if there is a creator but I still reject all forms of theism. Atheism has no content. It is simply the rejection of theism, not the disbelief in God. Hypothetically, if God did exist, He/She would exist with or without your early theistic religions, right? So you see where I am going? I reject all forms of monotheism and polytheism and therefore, I’m an Atheist. I do know if there is a creator nor can I ever know, which makes me an Agnostic. There aren’t that many arrogant Atheists who will boast such a dogmatic view of the universe as to say “there is no God”. I would appreciate a more accurate description on this page of what an Atheist is and please stop spreading bullshit, over generalized lies.

Thank you,
-Me

Everyone seems to be talking about enjoying their lives as christians, catholics, whatever. But have u tried living the life yourself, allowing yourself to submit to freedom instead of getting stuck in some brainwashing religion. No offense but, that is how i personally feel. No, don’t give me bullshit such as, “Open your minds, You must have faith” or whatever crap you theists intend to say. You people say that there is a creator of everything. Thus, following the article, what is the creator of the creator? Following your logic, what cant we apply something else created “God” (not like he/she/whatever exists). I read the bible. And despite whatever God says about himself being so loving as such, i have seen multiple articles about God, telling a young innocent person, to go kill an entire city. I mean, what kind of “loving god” orders someone to go do his dirty work for him? If he was so “almighty and powerful” I believe that he is able to do that himself.”

The bible also makes me think. Who wrote the bible, i mean, how do you know the information in the bible is accurate? Who knows, Moses might be climbing out the mountain and due to fatigue, he suffered massive hallucinations and heard “God’s” voice. You never know. Where is the evidence? THE PROVE!? WE NEED PROVE.

“”but simply the idea that a God exists is ridiculous”"

In the end, it is God as “the individual Understands the Word”

1.God is a bearded kind old man who sits on a throne in heaven.
2. God is Energy, constantly forming and dissolving.

Which god does not exist?
God #1 exists in the imagination of that person.
God #2 exists in reality.

Its all about your understanding. That is the key to it all.

Before you make a case, you should address you’re own use of logic. First, atheism IS a belief. You believe that there is no god, and without any evidence whatsoever to prove your assertion.
The problem with atheism (belief that there is no god or gods), monotheism (belief in one God), polytheism (belief in many gods), or any person or group claiming to know the true nature of the universe is that no one is willing to “know what they don’t know”. You don’t know anything about the existence of a God, you only believe you know and believing something is different then knowing the truth.
The Truth being that no one knows if there is or isn’t a God and perhaps the entirety of human existence may conclude without anyone ever knowing anything.
so, believe what you will, there is or isn’t a God, but never assume that that belief is a Truth that is known to you without any question. They call it faith for a reason and I see you have faith in your chosen religion of atheism. Perhaps one day athesits will wake up and become agnostics, one can only hope.
