I think you are grossly misrepresenting the primary atheist argument which is there is no objective PROOF that god exists so they don't believe in any god.Winston wrote: ↑November 8th, 2020, 11:03 pmOne more BIG fallacy of atheists:
They seem to assume that just because there are many flaws and problems and implausibilities in Christianity and the Bible and organized religions, that therefore:
- Total Atheism must be the truth and the remedy.
- No creator or architect or intelligent designer of any kind must exist.
- No soul or spirit exists. Consciousness is a by product of the brain only.
- No spirit world exists.
- No ghosts or spirits exist.
- No psychic phenomena exist.
- No afterlife exists. Or reincarnation either.
- No higher power exists.
- Only the material world exists.
- Anything that contradicts the above is automatically dismissed as BS or bunk, no matter how true, valid or legit, and ridiculed and scoffed at too of course. No exceptions.
You see how ludicrous that is? It's an unwarranted jump of course, and one that makes no sense and is too overly extreme too. But no one seems to dare point this out to them, especially the media or academics. They all jump on the atheist bandwagon like it's cool and trendy. It's very weird and Orwellian. It's as if everyone is a mind controlled zombie now and will jump on any trendy bandwagon even if it makes no sense at all and is utterly ludicrous and in this case, a HUGE unwarranted jump.
Problems with religion or Christianity or the Bible definitely do NOT lead to the above extreme conclusions. But atheists want to trick you into thinking that it does of course, because they are desperate to have you believe in a godless universe at any cost, even if they have to lie to you or give you the most bogus arguments. I can't believe that many people fall for it, including academics, professors, math/science geeks, modern trendy liberals, etc. It boggles the mind and seems like the Twilight Zone. How can everyone be that dumb to believe something that a child would not accept? The world must be raving mad.
Why not take a middle ground and believe in God or a spirit world and the human soul without having to adopt any man made organized religion? After all, the truth tends to be somewhere in the middle on such issues, not on either extreme. New Agers try to have spirituality without religion of course, but their movement has become too commercialized with self help BS and woo woo that make them look bad, credulous and uncredible. Plus there is too much religion in New Age now (though it's unofficial) in the form of fixed religious beliefs, that New Agers now tend to believe whatever is popular in their movement now and don't even think for themselves anymore. Thus ironically these New Age "freespirits" now have a hive mind and group mind that they conform to. Eastern spirituality is another option of course but there's lots of different types of it, some of which are atheistic or agnostic too. Either way, atheists and most scientists and academia still want you to make the unwarranted jump above.
What do you think @Neo and @MrMan and @gsjackson?
Religious people will jump up and down and claim that proof is in answered prayers or some convenient lie of that nature. But atheists dismiss that as they should.
If you live in a purely evidence-based world (and you often do not @Winston), you should be able to understand that common atheist position.
