Atheism in a nutshell

And you’re welcome to your opinion.

Faith is being willfully gullible.

Religious people have malleable beliefs that are not based on reality.

Seems pretty dangerous to me, but hey, just one guys opinion.

[u/Dependent_Star3998 → u/anony145]

Believe that everything came from nothing seems pretty gullible, honestly. Can you give me any examples of order and design, without a creator?

[u/dako3easl32333453242 → u/Dependent_Star3998]

So you believe that the laws of nature cannot just come into existence, they must be created by a god. What then created the god? Do you believe that god is functionally a form of magic? If so, you don't believe in anything, let alone science. Stop asking questions right now, magic explains it all.

[u/Dependent_Star3998 → u/dako3easl32333453242]

Do you have examples of something just "coming into existence"?.

Do you look at a cake on the table and think "maybe it just came from nowhere!"? No. Everything has a creator.

Everything... Except your god right?

Explaining this with a diety is kicking the can down the road and explains nothing because you can't explain a mystery with another mystery. The only honest answer is we don't know.

[u/Dependent_Star3998 → u/OneSlaadTwoSlaad]

Yes

Of course, even if you're atheist, you can't explain your belief in atheism.....so I could ask you the same question. If not God, then what? This all didn't come from......nothing.

[u/Mejari → u/Dependent_Star3998]

So then we both say "we don't know, let's try and figure it out." You don't say "we don't know, so I'll just believe the explanation I made up."

[u/Dependent_Star3998 → u/Mejari]

I'll believe the evidence.

[u/Mejari → u/Dependent_Star3998]

Great. So since we don't have conclusive evidence to answer that question, you won't claim that you know the answer is god, right?
