No.29
If you're an atheist, why aren't you an agnostic-atheist? Most people who tell me they're an atheist because it's only logical don't understand what they're saying.
Strictly speaking, the concept of a god, an all-knowing being who could do literally anythng, leads me to believe that Christians could technically be right. Any religion with a god could be right.
If God wanted, he could have created the Earth and then placed dinosaur bones to "test our faith". He could have done it, because "Fuck you, I'm God".
So my question becomes this: If you're an atheist, why?
pic kinda-related, I used to be a Mormon.

>>29>christians could technically be rightNo, not by a long shot. The way christians have defined god is self-contradictory and inconsistent with even the most basic tenets of reality. You could always say, "It COULD be this" or "it COULD be that", but obviously it can't be everything all at once, now can it? That means faulty bullshit has got to go, and atheists recognize that religions are perpetuating that faulty bullshit. Everything, and I mean every last thing, that any religion has ever preached about god has ultimately been a completely baseless assumption, because none of them have had any real reason to come to the conclusions that they did aside from the wrongful implications provided by others.
The end.
No.33
>>31The existence of
a God is very possible. God may not exist in the form religion describes to be, after all. God may not even be sentient, may not even be in a physical form, but you cannot disprove such an idea. Every religion could be wrong about God and yet such a concept may still exist at the same time.
No.34
Because this verbal wrangling leads nowhere. There's no reason to consider the possibility of existence of the supernatural or divine, simple as that. Most people who aren't religious simply leave it at that. Being analpained about what they call it, should they be forced to label it so, is pointless.
>If you're an atheist, why aren't you an agnostic-atheist
Because if he's the first he can't simultaneously be the second. He disbelieves, he's not open to the idea. That's like asking why a theist isn't an agnostic-theist. Man, this topic is fucking dumb, to say nothing of the board itself. Coupling reason and religion, smart move. Why not science & religion?

unless id the goddess Discordia Aka Enris then its unlikely..
there is no part of the bible the expresses a ability to make paradoxes and contradictions work.. that Discordias modus operandi…
I mean can god make a rock to heavy for god to lift… but at the same time lift it…
further more if the bible and the circular argument for god is valid then reality must be really fucked up to conform with it and still appear to follow the rules of science…
I am not saying its 100% proof against… but say 99.9999999999%
Frankly thor makes more sense…
He only garanteed 100% ice giant removal service…
Jesus kinda promised bodily resurrection after death…
So… do you see any ice giant around?
How about any crucifix wearing zombies?

Just to make it clearer what i am getting at here…
we don't fully understand gravity yet…
So what if it fails one day..
Do you live your life in constant fear that gravity might fail and that you might get sucked into space along with the atmosphere?
Or do you just reject the notion as supremely unlikely and totally unimportant to take into consideration…

What are you doing on this board? If you want to cast aside trains of thought because they're "unimportant" you're in the wrong place.
Anyway, being agnostic seems to be the only logical thing to do right now. Instead of blindly following something (that includes you, atheists), I'll take solace in the fact that we don't know shit.
