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

[StrangerInAStrangeLand]

Absence - The state of being away from a place or person (God) .

An occasion or period of being away from a place or person (God)

The non-existence or lack of (God) .

Let's assume you are forced to choose no. 3. We know you lack belief in God, because it is not currently suitable for you, and we can understand that for you there is no God (otherwise you wouldn't be atheist), which makes God nonexistent, to you.

I guess you don't need to make any claims. So why do you bother to argue with people who do believe in God?
What do you hope to achieve

Again&again, you have things backward. Why do you bother with people who are not theists? What do you hope to achieve?

I like discussing God, with atheists.

Those are genuine definitions of "absence"

I just point out nonsense when I see it. I hope that helps somebody else recognise nonsense when he/she sees it.

What do you hope to achieve by posting nonsense? Do you think you're fooling anybody? You're probably more likely to fool people on a religious site.

This is not a discussion. This is you babbling on&on&on & refusing to face the truth.

Why do you think it is nonsense?

What do you hope to achieve by posting nonsense?

Why do you keep beating your wife?

Do you think you're fooling anybody?

Do you think it possible to fool a fool?

You're probably more likely to fool people on a religious site.

How so?

Jan.

 

[Jan Ardena]

This is not a discussion. This is you babbling on&on&on & refusing to face the truth.

What truth would that be?

You make silly claims

You don't believe I'm a theist?

Absence of sense.

///
The truth that I cannot believe your silly claims, among others which have been clearly demonstrated to you here.
I told you I cannot believe you then you claim I choose to not believe then I explain very clearly why I cannot believe then you claim it is a decision.
You know what claims. I just listed 3, 3 or so posts back.

[Jan Ardena]

Again&again, I cannot choose to believe what I have no evidence for. It is not a choice.

But there is evidence for God. There are the classical arguments for evidence of God. Why would you foolishly reject and deny such outstanding, obvious evidence. What would you accept as evidence for God?

Asking why I am not a theist is backward. Why are you a theist?

It's natural to be theist. For me to become atheist, I would have to convince myself there is no God. Just like you do. But I would only be lieing to my self. Just like...

I have not brought anything to you.
You make silly claims & I cannot believe you

My claim is that I'm a theist. Your claim is that you're not a theist (atheist). It's really that simple.

Jan.

 

[Jan Ardena]

Absence of sense.

Why do you think it's "Absence of sense."

Jan.

 

[Jan Ardena]

then I explain very clearly why I cannot believe then you claim it is a decision.

Stop lieing. You've explained nothing.

Baldness is the absence of hair

Hair is the absence of baldness. What's your point?

Atheism is the absence of belief in gods.

Belief in God is the absence of non belief in God. Again, what's your point?

Absence of a claim is not a claim.

But you make claims, plus you imply claim (when you think you're being clever).
So what's your point

Jan.

 

[sideshowbob]

Why do you think it's "Absence of sense."

Jan.

You sound like ELIZA: "How do you feel about why do you think it's absence of sense?"

Do you think about what you post at all or do you just parrot back what you hear and add a question mark?

 

[sideshowbob]

Hair is the absence of baldness.

It doesn't quite work that way. Presence is not the absence of absence. English is not mathematics.

So you can't spot a bald man in a crowd?

That's a monumental misunderstanding of the point. Read the whole exchange and ask another question.

Did you miss the word "another"? Ask another question.

Its ok.
I accept your surrender.
