Aethism is still a belief in the unknown.
A faith that God doesn't exist based on opinion and not proof.
Prove there is no God.
...and that lead to the Hundreds Years Wars, the Crusades, The Inquisition, Forced Conversion of tens of millions, the Spanish Armada, acceptance of slavery, the Lord's Resistance Army, all those fun years of the Balkan Wars, abortion bombing, the IRA, etc. etc. ETC. While I admit Islam has some massive ****ing problems... discounting the problems of Christianity is naive.
You look at the founder of the religion to see the truth. Jesus taught to Love others.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
- John 13:34
“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven.
-Matthew 5:43
He taught to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile in helping others, denying yourself to be willing to sacrifice for others.
Those people who commit acts of violence are not following Jesus nor have the love of God in them. Therefor how can one blame the faith that teaches the complete opposite of such things. Instead blame the men who do them.
And thus if we look at the founder of Islam Muhammad, we do find someone who actually unlike Jesus, endorsed such violence. So we look to the founders to see if it's the faith that's at fault, or men who claim to follower something they obviously do not.
Wrong. Show me proof of the existence of a god and I will believe that a god exists.
Stalin and Mao did not kill in the name of Atheism. They killed in order to maintain and solidate power. It was about politics, not Atheism. They weren't the Pope condoning a Holy War. They were just assholes.
Indeed. I could claim little green men live on Pluto and just because you could'nt prove otherwise would'nt automatically mean that they do !
Do you see how that analogy works for the 'believers' ? :lol:
... is retarded. He is deflecting in an attempt to make religion (Chrisianity) sound better and more important to justify his faith in God (religion).
The beginning of the universe, fine tuning of the laws of physics, etc...
My little green men analogy stands ....
Nonsense. Religious faith is an uneccessary and often intolerant medieval anachronism in the modern age
To quote Richard Dawkins." Man has invented and discarded hundreds of gods over the millenia. I've just gone one god further"
Prove that God doesn't exist, otherwise you rely on faith just as believers rely on it
The truth is you have no proof to back up your beliefs, so its a bit hypocritical to talk down to the faithful.
Prove that Krishna does not exist and then I will use the same method to prove that Jehovah does not exist.
Prove santa doesn't exist, prove zeus doesn't exist, prove the tooth fairy doesn't exist. It is not faith if one side literally has no evidence and IS THE SIDE MAKING THE CLAIM.
Aethist believe God doesn't exist.
You believe in something you cannot prove.
Stop being hypocritical and admit you too rely on faith to back your assertions.
Wrong, Aethist are MAKING THE CLAIM God DOESN'T EXIST.
PROVE your claim and stop being such a glaring hypocrite.
Wrong, Aethist are MAKING THE CLAIM God DOESN'T EXIST.
PROVE your claim and stop being such a glaring hypocrite.
Prove santa doesn't exist, prove zeus doesn't exist, prove the tooth fairy doesn't exist. It is not faith if one side literally has no evidence and IS THE SIDE MAKING THE CLAIM.
Believing in God is the same as believing in the Tooth Fairy, Santa Clause, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster?
What I love about this well-worn atheist ‘argument’ is that it actually serves to demonstrate how vastly different a belief in God is to these myths and imaginations. When one honestly assesses the Judeo-Christian doctrine of God he will find multiple thousands of years of human testimony and religious development; he will find martyrs enduring the most horrific trauma in defense of the faith; he will find accounts in religious texts with historical and geographical corroboration; etc (these fact are of course not ‘proofs,’ but rather ‘evidences’ that elicit strong consideration). Pit this against tales of the Tooth Fairy, Santa, and Spaghetti Monsters and one finds the exact opposite: no testimony or religious refinement, no martyrs, no historical and geographical corroboration, etc. Instead, one finds myths created intentionally for children, for point making, or for whatever. It’s strawman argumentation at its worst.
Again, just to be clear, testimony, martyrs, geography, etc., are not “proof” that God exists, but rather proof that comparing faith in God to faith in fairies and Santa is totally different.
Atheists simply reject a claim which has no evidence, much like people reject astrology..
Atheists don't "believe" in anything, it is up to the one making the claim of a god existing to provide evidence for it.
Aethist : A person who disBELIEVES in the existence of God.
Stop being a raging hypocrite and stop trying to dishonestly redefine terms to suit your assertions.
If you BELIEVE God doesn't exist then PROVE IT
If you believe god does exist, prove it. Theists are the ones making the claim, and refuse to provide evidence.
Huh ?
Lol !! I guess I'm not going to get a honest answer out of someone who celebrates Marx.
It is the same, yes, all have no evidence.
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
Humanism or atheism is a wonderful philosophy of life as long as you are big, strong, and between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five. But watch out if you are in a lifeboat and there are others who are younger, bigger, or smarter.
