And my point is, there's an infinite number of things that you can not rule out, but we do rule them out because they are simply too ridiculous to waste any time on. I spend zero time considering whether John Travolta will be in my local this evening because I know he won't be. And I spend no time pondering on whether a god exists, similarly.
Here's another question...Would you not say that being an Atheist is a religious concept in itself.
The absolute conviction that God doesn't exist...isn't that 'Blind Faith'?
By the way, whilst saying there is no God, I do not rule out the possibility that Jesus Christ (or Mohammed for that matter) possibly did exist. I think it quite likely in fact that a bloke called Jesus did live in Gallilea 2,000 years ago and if he did, he was probably a very remarkable chap who said and did some incredible things. Not miracles, but things that surprised people greatly and things he said which had a profound effect on people.

Are you aware that there are over 20 gods who have the same back story as Jesus?
Check this out.
No. It isn't faith based. It's based upon the total lack, so far, of any credible evidence of the existence of any god. Ever.
Propositions without evidence need to be taken in faith.
An Athiest does not feel that a suspension of critical faculties to allow you to believe, when there is a mountain of evidence that shows glaring gaps and mistakes, scientific, moral and ethical in the case for the god of Abraham is one ship they wish to board.
We don't have faith in not believing, we just don't believe the case for it holds water. Even the type that Jesus turned into wine, or the stuff he walked on.
I don't believe in fairies. I don't have a faith based opposition to them, I just think the case for them is a non starter. The same view applies to
Werewolves
Zombies
Spiritual Healers
Homeopathy
The spaghetti monster
Ancient Aliens
Clairvoyants
Angels
Satan
Demons
Arch Demons(they're real cunts)
Ghosts
The power of prayer
Speaking bollocks in tongues.
The French
The same with religion or god.its not faith it's facts, evidence and plausibility.
We are also open to change through evidence. If god lost his natural inclination to do fuck all all the time and decided all those children getting killed in Alleppo was too much and boomed from the clouds enough. Then I would say, fuck me he does exist. Followed by
What kept you and while we are about it what the fuck is childhood cancer all about you ****?
That kinda vibe.
You're talking about conventional God again though...what i'm talking about is the creation of the Universe by an unknown entity...just as plausible as the current scientific theory that there was 'nothing' then 'something' without an explanation of what causes were involved
No need to take the piss, he exists.The spaghetti monster
The same principals of evidence apply to any proposition or position taken to claim a supernatural
Force,
Reasoned arguments before....followed by what I can only see is your wannabe stand up routine. Not bad. I laughed, but probably out of context. I thought c**t was banned. If not, lets open the floodgates!1No. It isn't faith based. It's based upon the total lack, so far, of any credible evidence of the existence of any god. Ever.
