[@infidelcastro5129]

Even a bad, incorrect and downright stupid position is better presented when it’s argued in a well-structured form. A person being so obviously wrong is slightly less unforgivable when they try to present their delusions clearly 😊 And of course, any person with the requisite intellect to structure an argument is probably armed with sufficient mental skills to be eventually convinced of reality.

For me, the Problem of Evil is the biggest deal-breaker. Specifically, the story of Lina Medina of Brazil. She was afflicted with precocious puberty, was impregnated at 5 by an unknown man, and gave birth at the age of 6. I don't see how an omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent deity could allow such a thing to transpire.

[@beastshawnee]

yes-all child molestation is an evil act of a powerful person over a kid without any power...Losing body autonomy is a horrific experience at any age but when you are so young and innocent -It is a horrific act indeed , and it affects their entire lives negatively dealing with the horrors of it all.

[@benjaminmadrigalperez9010]

Sorry for de the brazilians..... But what about the recent case. Where an 8 year old was raped by his grandfather, got pregnant. And had not only her doctors and nurses nagging her to keep it. (They Even bring an unknown priest) When they forced her to go to another hospital in another city to abort. A group of unknown fanatics blocked the ambulance she was traveling and chanted obscenities to her. She didn't even understood what happened to her and yet she was called a murderer and a slut. That's evil.

[@solomonessix6909]

Powerful comparison Eric!

[@mikefromwa]

One piece of evidence *can* serve as proof. For example if you find a dead body, that's pretty good evidence that the person died.

[@biteyalmighty7874]

Well, sure. If you jump to the conclusion, the conclusion is clear. Is the chest rising and falling? Is there a pulse? Is the body cold? Is it decomposing? Maybe what you assumed was a dead body is just a guy taking a nap. If I find a glass jar containing 372 gumballs, that's evidence that the glass jar contains 372 gumballs. How do you know the jar is made of glass? How do you know the balls are gumballs? How do you know there's 372 gumballs?

[@trailman20]

If my foot print is found around a crime scene does that mean I committed that crime?

[@Zikiru]

​@@biteyalmighty7874 not siding with the commenter, but would a pulse alone conclude whether or not the body is dead? I'm not aware that there are other factors that can hinder our ability to determine if the pulse is active or not.

[@marqpsmythe228]

👍🏻 Vi on Evidence and preponderance of evidence. Again I call for backup: “Science specifically means a system of findings, i.e., a unity of connected findings in opposition to a mere aggregate of the same. But what else than the principle of sufficient reason connects members of a system? The very thing that distinguishes any science from a mere aggregate is that each of a science's findings follows from another as its ground. Therefore, Plato already says, ‘For true opinions are not worth much until someone binds them through reasoning’.” [Arthur Schopenhauer, On the Fourfold Root of the Principle of Sufficient Reason, 1813]

@Dr. Powers Dr. Powers/Bouregard Hipplie/Bouregard Hippil please show the medical evidence to supports your claim and I will quote : “Wisdom teeth are a result of the human no longer living to be 900 yrs old”

[@spol1622]

@Dr. Powers so your god really murdered all of those millions of people? And you want us to worship this particular mass murderer just like you do? I think they joining any religion or a cult in order to worship any mass murderer is a very bad idea....

[@TheGamingLegendsOfficial]

@Dr. Powers Well, if you like being a slave to the Christian god (immoral, and absolutely _disgusting_ character, by the by), then have fun with that. I'll choose to be my own free person with a morality separate from that heinous book you seem to love quoting from. And tu quoque, my friend; given you want to claim that atheists "think that life came from a moist rock" when you yourself think that God breathed life into clay (a moist rock _gasp_ no way) to create man. If I'm wrong, please tell me why. The Bible, if that is where you wish to draw your quotes from, allows you to own slaves, beat them to within an inch of their life, and suffer no repercussions if they survive a few days. It allows you to own people as property, that women are property, and that only men are considered people, and nobody else is. It allows people to stone others for being gay, for having sex before marriage, for disobeying their parents. It allows a man to sell his daughter to her rapist. Are these things moral? Do _you_ think these things are moral? They're in the same book you seem to make yourself a slave to. I think that's wrong. Besides, even if I granted you a supernatural being, who's to say it isn't Brahman, or Vishnu, or Zeus, or Odin? Loki? There's nothing separating your god from any others. I also agree with the problem of evil presented here. Either your god isn't all-powerful, all-knowing, or all-loving. You can't have all 3 like your book claims. It's simply impossible.

[@t800fantasm2]

@Dr. Powers Atheism is not believing in a god. You know it is not a lie, you just want to pretend it is to make your lame arguments look better... and STOP SPAMMING ! Are you incapable of original thought? I seriously wonder if you do have dementia...

Shower thought (but not arrived at in the shower): The term ‘Theist’ doesn’t sit well with many religious people because the term kind of accepts that their outlook is only one of very many. If you’re a football fan but don’t want to wrestle with the notion of there being sports other than the one in which you’re entirely invested, you’re not likely to be happy simply calling yourself a ‘sports fan’.

I do like the reverse Evil God concept and how it explains everything on Earth equally as well a Good God. How do we know God is good? If we just accept the claim in the bible that God is good, but maybe an Evil God had the bible written just so he could claim he is good in its pages. If an evil God wanted to deceive everyone why not write a bible to trick people into following his evil. Then put some good and kind things in it every now and then to throw people off. I'd say it worked perfectly!

Nobody views themselves as evil, at least not any more than defining themselves as just the word "evil". This is because "evil" is inherently unlikable to everyone. But the more interesting thing about evil is that its not unlikable because of some of its properties, its unlikable because it is defined to be that way. In other words: "evil" is never something, something is "evil". Because of that nobody at any point of time will view themselves as "evil" at current time because if they did they are in an unlikable state and if they are in an unlikable state its either because of reasons outside their control in which case they aren't responsible and are thus not "evil" or because of themselves in which case they can always change that and have no reason not to and therefore can't be in such a state and thus aren't evil. The reason they can't have any reason not to change themselves is because if they did that reason in itself becomes the justification for being in that state and the state doesn't truly become unlikable and thus isn't "evil" according to the person themself.

Ask a person who professes to be a Christian if they would carry out the command without question. Point out that any complaint or refusal to carry out the command would prove the person is a liar because the evidence that your profession is genuine is OBEDIENCE WITHOUT QUESTION.

What is this guy talkimg about? Proofs aren't subjective at all...that's why they're proofs.

[@alanrosenthal6323]

The bible is true because the bible is true sheeshhhh

[@Ronjamestrader]

when did god begin?" god has no beginning." There's your first clue, they really rat themselves out with that one....(BTW, King James was a gay guy, feel free to look this stuff up)

@Dr. Powers Dr. Powers/Bouregard Hipplie/Bouregard Hippil please show the medical evidence to supports your claim and I will quote : “Wisdom teeth are a result of the human no longer living to be 900 yrs old”

[@spol1622]

@Dr. Powers there is no evidence for real existence of any gods. They all have a beginning (starting from the time that we invent them). And many already had the end, when for whatever reason we no longer worship/believe that they are real. Someday in the future, it will happen to all of the gods, as they all belong to the pages of mythology books, with all those that are already there...

@Dr. Powers Correct neppy, your god is too stupid to be the creator of anything, only a really stupid god would get wrong the order of its own creation. So congratulations once again for proving how your magical fairy is simply useless as a possible answer.

[@ookeekthelibrarian]

@@Julian0101 I'm starting to think Dr Powers/hippel does not like me.

[@Julian0101]

@Dr. Powers Too bad that your god is simply too stupid to be able to design all those things. So even under your own standard neppy, your stupid magical fairy that created itself from nothing is too worthless to be an explanation

We talk of Hitler being insane and evil but compared to the God of the bible he'd be classed as a saint ! Not even Hitler would condemn living people to burn in hell FOREVER ! Any person alluding God is love and would carry out such a horrendous act is a true hypocrite. Why do people believe all this nonsense ?
