Okay, prove to me there's no God. If you can't, but still say there is none, you have faith.

No, theists made the assertion. It's up to them to prove it.

But if you say without a shadow of a doubt that it doesn't exist, you have to prove that as well.

Why should someone be forced to disprove a claim that can't even be validated by those who make it?

No one's forcing you. But if you want to make the statement that God does not exist, you have to prove it.

Easily proved.

Children are raped every day. Any being capable of stopping such actions would. Since those actions occur anyway, it's clear that there is no God. Or, alternately, that Jesus is a pedophile.

Ok, argue with my diction, not my content. Nice tactics.

I'm saying, how can I prove there is no God when you can't even prove there is one? Theists made the claim first, back it up.

Exactly. You can't prove there is no God. Hence my other comment in this thread about (at least in the context of God) being unable to "prove a negative".

But it's not up to the atheists to prove anything. Are you stupid or do you just play it on the internet?

 

[RallyMaster]

Agnostic. Used to be atheist but then I had some sort of a revelation and decided that faith helps the needy and unfortunate by giving emotional support. Etc etc.

 

[oddyager]

I don't follow a religion (unless you count chocolate). I follow philosophies... though I suppose that could be loosley defined as a religion but it isn't!

Nobody is asking you to prove anything. I'm just saying you can't, and therefore can't make the proclomation that there is no God.

Ok, why do I bother? Honestly. Why? Are you intentionally being dense or what?

 

[Reckoner]

I have a feeling that a lot of the so-called Atheists on this board, will turn to God at their final hours when their long journey finally comes to an end.

 

[Proletariat]

The religion of caring for your fellow man

 

[SuepaFly]

What about non-denominational Christianity? I believe in God, but I don't really subscribe to any particular historical interpretation? (ie Protestants are Christians that subscribe to the interpretations of Martin Luther)...

PS - I read once that atheist do believe in a supreme power, themselves, thus it is considered a religion.

Acknowledging that you can't prove the nonexistance of God does not mean you are saying there is proof of God's existance. It's saying there might be a God but you just can't know. I don't believe there is a Christian God. It seems obvious to me that it was made up by ignorant tribespeople thousands of years ago. But because I can't prove the nonexistance of God, I accept the fact that he could indeed exist.
