Welcome to the Ask an Atheist thread II.

Previous part:

Win Prizes - Ask an Atheist - Shoe's on the other foot now!

Alright, we're going to have a change of tack. As I'm sure you can see, the thread title has been changed to Ask an Atheist. People who have a question to ask of the atheists who populate this thread - more than the christians do - should feel free to ask questions of them. If you've still got...

You are taking the classical sceptical historical position which is not held uniformly by historians. From what I’ve been reading and listening to, even atheist historians will differ widely on your proposals. Biblical scholars and less biased historians land in a very different place. I read your stuff and I know you seek out reasons not to believe, indefinitely.

Nah, we as atheists only carry one united belief.
The thought/understanding/knowledge of, that there is no theological/cult/god claim that has ever been demonstrated nor adequately argued for as a first cause/creator/god head figure, ever.
Your claims remain unproven.
Quite simple in logicistal terms.

Humans adequately proved Galileo’s theory of the solar system.
Just on that, remember when Pope Jean Paul, an outstanding mammalian ape I make no regrets about calling him beyond brilliant in his curiosities for understanding, did apologise for “getting it wrong in regards to Galileo’s solar system”.
That should solely give cause to reflection?

You have faith, we want and desire details, we think they are of import!

Your claims are pure white noise amongst the gains that we’ve harnessed under the method of studying reality.

“We atheists wildly differ in every other way”. Our desires are of evidential nature, unlike your white noise!

I’d pray for a bone of contention yet I don’t care……I am to offer a resistance to your inadequacies in written form and evidence.

Where is your god mate, surely it can prove itself to us?

It doesn't work like that for them. If it weren't for hypocrisy, there would be no Christians (or Muslims). Their ultimate answer to every doubt is "You'll find out".....they basically live for some notion of the future, while claiming to believe in Eternity. Their version begins with their conception, or at the time of their death, depending on which Christian you ask.

i really don't know how humans would matter at all to God. Ive mentioned this in many other posts. On a cosmic scale we are simply beyond trivial in every sense. In the trillions of galaxies we are likely only one of millions of intelligent species and probably not particularly remarkable on a universal scale.

None of them can tell you where they were before they were born. No one told them to ask that question. Or if they do answer, it's the same usual irrational BS that everyone must believe or Fry for All Eternity at the hands of the "All-Loving and all-forgiving" God.
