Scientists discover that atheists might not exist, and that’s not a joke

Why are you so angry about God?

I am not angry about anything. I cannot be angry about what I do not know exists.

Why are you so angry that you cannot know any god exists?

Which posts?

Isn't that just denial, and rejection, though?

I understand that for you, there is no God. So it's easy to see how you could be so mistaken.

Yes. That is your denial & rejection.

No. You do not understand that.

I understand that for you there is no god.

I am mistaken about what?

Again, the oldest trick of con artists. Tell fools they are fools if they do X & the fools fall into line.

Why is it a con, to help fools fall in line, if falling in line stops them being a fool?

All of the above, for starters.

It does not help them stop being fools. It is a nasty trick used by con artists.

Why do you try to con people into believing your nonsense?

No, you are still missing the point. Atheists can be nice moral people without being duplicitous and living a lie.

I never said they couldn't.

Belief in the existence of a God, i.e. being a theist, does not necessarily make one a nice moral person.

I never said it did.

Not believing in the existence of a God, i.e. being an atheist, does not necessarily make one a bad, immoral person.

I never said it did.

The difference is that; Atheists do not persecute Theists for being Theists, but Theists do persecute people for being Atheists, but also for being Theists (of a different faith).

I trust you are drawing on something other than modern history to makes such assertions?
Or perhaps a version of the "true scotsman" argument?

No I am making these observations which are all true.

What's the name of that religion?

Again, I see myself as a Metaphysical Humanist. Me being an Atheist is purely incidental. Read what I say.

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God." Jan.

Bullshit. I actually believed a God might exist, until I reached the age of reason.

W4U said,
A brainless slime mold can be conditioned to exhibit certain behaviors after being trained, even without the prior administered stimulus.

So you accept the pigeon was trained to act like that. Good.W4U

No I I said that the slime mold can be conditioned by external stimulus to anticipate the condition. Much like the pigeon doing the dance in anticipation of receiving a reward. In the slime mold's case it is more subtle. It slows down it's metabolism in anticipation of being exposed to cold.

You can see Santa Claus, and prove he exists.

He does for innocent minds like children. Once you know it's daddy playing Santa Claus you stop believing.

What are you waiting for? God to manifest a material world?

No my standard is much more modest. A simple miracle which physically cannot occur as a natural event. My position is that the concept of God is wholly unneessary to explain the existence of the universe and it's functions.

Can't make sense of it, all of a sudden? That is you in denial. Jan.

No it's you spouting nonsense.

 

[Write4U]

Why are you so angry about God?

I think you accused me of that once also. I choose to ignore it then, but now that you you have called several atheist of being angry about God, let me set you straight.
I for one, am amused by your desperate clinging to the concept that God exists and your trying to pass off your own discomfort with your belief by accusing others of being angry.

Maybe I need to accept Jesus into my brain?

A qualia!!!!.....

Alex listen carefully - step away from the light

How does this response relate to the discussion? Jan.

Because your understanding and acceptance does not determine the
truth in reality.
Remember Anil Seth; "our reality is a controlled hallucination, a best guess", and only when everyone agrees can we call it reality.

I'm happy for you

Yeah. Obviously fake, aren't they.

What does this prove?
God exists or bad people exist?
If this proves God exists, then your God is monster. We know bad people exist everywhere and no one is disputing that.
