As an - what might be called an "abstract technical concept or argument" - You cannot 100% prove, that ANY imaginary thing DOESN'T exist SOMEWHERE.... If you accept that idea, then not only does the word imaginary become meaningless, so does the word real, as there is now no method of separating one from the other. That only applies in an abstract conceptual way as an idea. In reality we CAN tell imaginary things apart from real things, to a degree of certainty, that makes any doubt an irrelevant technicality. Elephants that can fly by flapping their ears are completely imaginary. The infitismal probability that one (or something resembling one) might exist somewhere, is an irrelevant technicality. The only thing that could change the flying elephants status, would be the producing of an actual flying elephant. All the "gods" written of in human literature, are exactly the same as the flying elephant. Figments of the imagination of humans... No humans = No "gods" Many humans = Many "gods" There is a perfectly obvious reason for that.. Till a demostrable "god" is produced, they will remain completely imaginary. Another way of seeing this. Is to look at something that was imaginary and is now real. Say a flying machine... For example: If you could go back 500 years and describe to people a big box with wings that could take hundreds of people to other countries by flying through the air, even though it was heavier than an elephant.. You WOULD have been talking complete nonsense. The thing you were describing was completely imaginary. Now it is commonplace.. We call them aeroplanes... The only reason the flying machine changed from imaginary nonsense, to demonstrable reality, was the actual producing of a demostrable, testable and examinable aeroplane. If none of those existed. They would STILL be imaginary nonsense.... The thing is... They do and it is extremely easy, to prove they do. They exist whether you believe they do or not. Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it... DOESN'T go away. If you are claiming something as a reality arguments and stories do not constitute enough evidence to verify the claim...

God killed everyone on earth except for one family who repopulated through incest. In Numbers god says to go into neighboring nations and kill ALL the men, women, boy children, and girl children, except the virgin girl children who were kept as “brides”. You could sell your child aged daughter to an adult. It says you have to kill people who work on the sabbath, unruly children, and gays.

I've mostly stopped watching these kinds of call in videos. The callers are either: A: Mentally deficient. B: Have poor English skills so don't understand that the position they are taking has been rebutted effectively. C: Are apologists by trade so are comfortable arguing a dishonest point. I suspect that the vast majority of religious people avoid this kind of dialogue because the clarity of the arguments against god and supernatural beliefs is uncomfortable and frustrating to have to listen to.

[@AdmiralBison]

Look at this way. The "arguments" theists callers bring up, their world views and beliefs are quite typical and representative of millions of theists who don't call. It may not change callers' minds straight way or at all, but from time to time we hear of long time listeners, first time callers who actually do listen over the years and see their very same beliefs, views and thought process challenged and is a way for them to learn because they are not in the "hot seat." I agree with you the frustrations and at times I often just write off most callers, but the statistics are showing irreligiosity is growing in the United States. A third of the population have grown Atheists/nones, especially among the younger generation, half of Gen Z are not Religious, despite how Religion tries to word it and shove itself in legislation, public schools and government venues lately. Church attendance continues to drop, Churches know this and are desperate to try and appeal to those who have left, with vapid messaging, and even the Pope has tried to make the Religion more "palatable" to LGBQT (but many are not buying it) because they want that money$$ I like to think, in some ways call in shows like this, which there are quite a few now, helps contributes to people dropping the god belief or at the least leaving Religion and becoming "Deists" (Many Christians have to admit they are more Deist than Theist because the god they make up for themselves is vastly different to the one in the Bible)

"As an activist, I continue to hear this line: "Why do atheists talk so much about God and religion?" Or, "Why would someone speak so often about a deity he/she doesn't believe in?" In truth, I suspect that these questions are deflections designed to make the questioner seem self-consciously obsessive...the sinner that "doth protest too much." But the reality is that atheist activism exists because religion exists. Religion permeates our culture, shows up on our doorsteps with literature, scriptures and threats of eternal damnation, influences our science books, contaminates our political systems, indoctrinates our children and postulates that its doctrine must be followed, lest we be destroyed in body, in soul, or both. Non-believers are simply responding to the avalanche of religious messages that bears down upon us daily. And they do so by (surprise!) speaking on the subject. Religion gets carte blanche to be as vocal as it wants, to knock on our doors and accost us in our homes, in our places of work, in our personal and professional lives. Believers are charged with a life mission to preach, teach, disciple, shout it from the mountaintops and to "go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Religion...is everywhere. Ask yourself. When's the last time an atheist rang your doorbell with the Good News of Humanism? How often do you find Richard Dawkins books in the dresser drawers of your hotel rooms? When was the last atheist temple erected in your neighborhood? Have you ever attended an atheist revival? Has atheism demanded 10% of your household income? How many dedicated atheist television channels come through your satellite dish? How many atheist verses were you instructed to memorize as a child? When's the last time someone thanked a FARMER (or even the cook) at the dinner table instead of God? On a more radical front, what's the name of the last atheist who sawed the head off of an "infidel?" Or sentenced a shrouded woman to death for displeasing an oppressive husband? Or strapped explosives to his belt in order to kill hundreds in a public square? Or publicly executed someone for being gay? It's everywhere. Religion is a pounding drum that has gone mostly unanswered for a long, long time. And religion is not satisfied with merely existing quietly in the homes and hearts of the faithful. Its very nature compels the believer to proselytize, preach, promote, convince, convert and prevail. If you play on the team of the religious, your game plan is to stay, always, on offense. Throughout our history, those who raise a simple hand of protest against these advances have been portrayed as the real problem. Religion has attempted to marginalize and defeat legitimate questions and concerns by indignantly portraying any resistors as misguided, immoral, rudderless, angry, miserable, lost and alone. And when skepticism challenges wildly improbable (or impossible) stories found in the Bible, the Qur'an and other holy books, the religious wail, "Why do atheists talk so much about religion?" It's often like asking cancer survivors why they're advocates for cancer cures. We ask, we challenge, we battle, we care because it matters. The facts and fiction of religious claims matter. The larger question, "Is it true?" matters. The countering of religious privilege matters. And the building of a superstition-free future matters. The next time a religious person labels you as obsessed with religion and God (pick one...there are thousands to choose from), just remember that religion began the discussion. It amplifies itself before the world. It targets the vulnerable and ignorant. It often threatens all humankind with punishment upon its rejection. And it's making Truth claims that - despite all of the fluffy platitudes about "faith" - must meet the burden of proof. Religion started this mess. And if an atheist speaks out against religious claims, it's likely the speech wouldn't be necessary if the claims weren't made in the first place." - Seth Andrews

If I ask them a question, then I want an answer. They can say they don't know, if they don't. That is perfectly fine. But if they attempt to ignore, or side step or pivot away from the question I asked, then the conversation stops. It will go no further. They can ask a question back, if it is to clarify some point about my question, so they can better answer it. But if you ask a question that is not in some attempt to answer mine, then the conversation stops. I get so tired of callers never answering questions by the host. I mean, I get it. I know why they don't. Because to answer is to expose their beliefs to be the sham that it is. But tough titty.

Certainly, large enough to conceal an elephant. The baby elephant behind your bookcase could only be 38 inches tall. The elephant could be alive or dead and taxidermied. The elephant could be a stuffed plush toy, a bronze statue or a rubber squeaky toy. I will consider the possibility of an elephant behind your bookcase, but I will withhold a conclusion and belief, until I have further evidence of your claim.

I don't see the danger of not believing in any gods, regardless of whether or not they're commercially available for purchase, beyond the threat of violence from "good Christians." They're an aggressive, violent bunch. You can't talk and reason with them, either. Their emotions are always too high, full of hate and fear. This might be why they have to constantly verbalize how much "faith" they've got.

[@dlevi67]

[@specilegg]

Christians aren't supposed to be aggressive but walk in meekness knowing that God is present and we are representing him when asked (But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed.

Right wingers tend to be more religious, and such people tend to have larger amygdalas,* the basic lizard part of the brain, so they have stronger disgust responses and are far more likely to make decisions based on emotions rather than logic. This is probably why the fear factor of christianity is so successful into sucking them into the greatest con ever perpetrated against humanity. * And a smaller anterior cingulate cortex, which is partly responsible for decision making.

I'd like to get some comment from the crowd. I work as a driver for Amish folk. What ever you may think of them, I find them to be intentionally joyous and kind and I enjoy their company. We sometimes engage in "god" talk. I don't let on that I no longer believe in god. I think of all the christians I have seen, they are the ones that most closely walk the talk. But they are the catalyst for my atheism. Each community has it's own rules and you're allowed to shop for the community whose beliefs fit yours. When people who REALLY do want to follow their faith get to pick and chose which god given rules they want to obey, then why bother with a god at all? So my question is: is it wrong for me to just go along to get along with them when it comes to the god talk? Or should I own up and (probably) lose business from them?

[@captaincookie2785]

It's not wrong to get along with them, but id god talk makes you uncomfortable, then you should tell them that. It's not a full admission of atheism. It should just be enough to say that you'd rather talk about something else and change the topic quickly. You could even just not acknowledge it when they begin to talk about god and instead just bring up something from earlier in the conversation to continue on.

Today I was questioned about why I am an atheist and didn't believe in the invisible man in the sky. I did my best to avoid and change the subject but I felt pressured in answering. I find that a lot of people get uncomfortable once they find out that I'm independent and free. However, the question he asked me to prove "his god" was "what about the air"? I was taken a back and he asked again of "who told me to breathe"? By then I had to blast him out of the water. I told him I am not a biologist but after millions and millions of years of evolution, developing lungs... He smiled and said "No it's god". I thought what a silly question and how childish this was. Later I saw him reading his bible I think because he was shaken up because I had an intelligent answer or He was not comfortable in my presence. Sadly this is the guy that is training me for my new job. So now I do not know if I'll have a job in the near future.
