Atheism/Theism thread

[JJTrixX]

Sanguinary circumstances will always exist because religion will always exist. Religion will always exist because humans are by definition capable of free will. Whether you believe in one God, multiple Gods, or no God, a belief is still a belief and when you get multiple people together who share a similar belief, that is what essentially makes up a religion.

You say, "The non-existence of a deity is implicit and inherent, the existence of one is yet to be proven."

I say, the non-existence of a deity is also yet to be proven.

The burden of proof lies on those making the claim. You claim a god exists, prove it.

it doesn't work this way though

edit: "God's love" is killing millions of people in the bible due to their using of free-will (which he gave them) and sending countless people to spend eternity in hell, also for using free-will.

The non-existence of Thor has yet to be proven. The non-existence of peanut-butter creatures from Mkgdggd have yet to be proven.

But do you have any good reason to believe in them?

How do you "prove" something doesn't exist?

And once you answer that question -- what good is a belief in something that can't be disproven? Do you realize why this is worthless as a truth claim?
