Atheism/Theism thread

Re: Atheism/Theism thread

about 33% of the world's population is christian, about 23% is islam

it makes sense that the majority of atheist vs theist content on the internet is against yahweh or allah

cool ty for supporting my point

make yahweh seem as insignificant as any other god in a pic when in reality he's by far the most highly noted, disparaged god haha

Re: Atheism/Theism thread

Is it you don't believe in a higher being or you don't beleive in anything that can not be proven? Or is your position of atheism a complete absence of faith?

Atheism = lack of belief/faith in higher powers/the supernatural. It is not a religion. It's a lack of religion.

So you think that what's true comes down to what's the most popular/noted?

Why would a christian or muslim bring up gods from polytheistic religions if their religion is monotheistic?

Re: Atheism/Theism thread

I've come to know that the biggest difference of atheists vs. theists is that atheists are always searching for a truth they will never remotely grasp as suppose to a theist who has already accepted a truth based on faith.

I ask you, as an atheist, of all the information and science known throughout the entire universe, about what amount in terms of percentage would you say you understand?

Furthermore, do you find it wise or logical to spend your entire lifespan trying to understand everything about the universe rather then using that time more considerably like caring for the ones you love and spending time with them?

What you're stating as truth is a truth based on falsehood. There's nothing that proves that that is the actual truth.

Anyway, understanding can improve your life in ways you wouldn't know of if you didn't understand. That said, there's a whole lot of things I don't know (yet), but that's fine by me. I understand that I won't be able to understand everything there is to understand, so I focus on things that matter for me and my well-being. For example, I'm studying to become a concept artist and for that I have to have understanding of various things in physics (such as how light works in different situations and why). If you understand it, you're better capable of using it to your advantage. I also find it just fun to learn new things (and using it to my advantage in every day life).

This is called "argument from ignorance." Just because you don't know something doesn't mean you can just shrug your shoulders and make something up and have it be true.

Let's say I show you a safe and ask you what's inside. You don't know enough yet to crack it. Are you really going to say that your "truth" is the right one when it's no different from a guess, even if you feel really, really strongly about it? You have no idea what's in the safe, and neither does anyone else. But at least some people are trying to figure out how to get inside the safe to get the real answer

Furthermore, do you find it wise or logical to spend your entire lifespan trying to understand everything about the universe rather then using that time more considerably like caring for the ones you love and spending time with them?

You can do both. Why must it be one or the other?

I don't really know where you got this from haha

the point of the picture displaying a list of all gods athiests don't believe in is to show that to athiests, yahweh is just another meager god they don't believe,

yet the typical athiest puts innumerable effort in derailing the christian god, that they probably wouldnt put forth if one were talking about say Zeus haha.

Getting hypocritical vibes from it is all

Because you don't seem to understand why Yahweh is given more focus. It's not that atheists are so focused on "one god." It's *all* gods. The arguments that apply to Yahweh apply to all of them. It's just that most religious people you'll encounter on the internet believe in Yahweh, so that tends to be near the forefront of the discussion (if it's to be brought up at all).

Because the target audience is mostly Christian. I doubt there are many people on the planet that still believe in Zeus, so why target them? Sure those who still believe in Zeus are just as incorrect as Christians, but the bigger "problem" (for lack of better wording) is Christianity because it has a far bigger audience.

I'd much rather use the tangible and tested evidence we have now to explain our existence, than to use blind faith to explain it.

I ask you, as an atheist, of all the information and science known throughout the entire universe, about what amount in terms of percentage would you say you understand?

I ask you, as a theist, of all the information and science known throughout the entire universe, why do you still insist on attributing that to a higher power and not the human race?

Furthermore, do you find it wise or logical to spend your entire lifespan trying to understand everything about the universe rather then using that time more considerably like caring for the ones you love and spending time with them?

Now you're just trying to guilt us. Love and caring isn't something created by religion. In fact, there are quite a few issues in that department when it comes to religion. Read through Exodus and Leviticus. Homosexuals are to be killed, slavery is morally and socially okay, the issue of rape isn't even hinted at but oh man, if you say the name of God with a bad attitude, you have Definitely Sinned.

Once again, if it is retaliating, this is true haha

But I go back to where i say countless times i've seen some ass hole go onto some christian video on youtube try and bash the fuck out of yahweh

Go on forum boards/videos/free response anything concerning greek mythology and gods and theres none of it

shit like this

[Nullifidian]

Re: Atheism/Theism thread

Because Greek mythology is considered mythology, and not truth..
