Nobody has ever seen or heard God. There is no reason to believe in him.
It's pretty obvious that humans invented the idea of "God" because they couldn't explain why the universe existed, or where humans came from.
Christians say "if God didn't create the universe then what did?" and the answer is "we don't know yet". It's okay to admit that we don't yet have all the answers.

>but this member of a tribe prone to schizophrenia and other mental illnesses due to chronic inbreeding said God spoke to him and that his parasitic tribe were the chosen people!!
>and then God sent his son to be born as one of these dysgenic freaks (but his son is also God and a ghost too to boot!!) to convert us filthy goyim to their religion!!
>obviously it's true, this book of bronze age fairy tales proves all of it!
If someone is offering you an answer to a question, you can't just stubbornly insist that we don't know. Your interlocutor has just given you an answer (in this case God), and so you either need to provide a better answer or explain why their answer doesn't work. When we're trying to explain things, we go with the best available explanation. So, if the atheist cannot provide an alternative answer, or they can't explain why God is not a good answer, then theism just wins by default.
Theism, but not religion. That is the important distinction to be made.
>If someone is offering you an answer to a question, you can't just stubbornly insist that we don't know.
Yes, you can:
>Look, there's $20 on the floor.
>That $20 belonged to Elvis Presley.
>What? You just made that up. We have no idea who owned that $20.
Only if it's a $20 bill made after 1977.
Still, you can see the point, surely. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to make wild assumptions. And I think "God" is a wild assumption.
>you can just parrot whatever moronic dog shit you like and everybody else must refute it or it 'wins'
Deep inside the mind of a golem
>Your interlocutor has just given you an answer (in this case God), and so you either need to provide a better answer or explain why their answer doesn't work.
Easy. "I don't understand X, therefore magic israelite" isn't a logically valid argument.
>Look mom, I made a strawman again.
>At best, "God" is a massive assumption
To say the universe is created isn't a massive assumption, it's a logical conclusion.
That doesn't even prove that it was created by a deity on purpose, even less that it was the work of a single deity and in no way points towards Christianity and eternal hellfire being true
>To say the universe is created isn't a massive assumption, it's a logical conclusion.
We don't know this. Humans used to consider it "logical" that we all descended from Adam and Eve. But now evolution appears more logical. And the Adam and Eve story is said by many Christians these days to be allegorical, not literal. They used to think it was literal though.
Humans should accept that we don't know everything, but that science is our best chance for understanding the universe. If we want to know the truth about where the universe comes from, we should do more science.
>So, if the atheist cannot provide an alternative answer, or they can't explain why God is not a good answer, then theism just wins by default.
Based and truthpilled (they can't argue against this point).
>When we're trying to explain things, we go with the best available explanation.
"Goddidit" is not an explanation. None of the people who ever said it did it to further humanity's understanding of the universe. "Goddidit" is code for "stop looking for information and obey m-I mean my sock puppet."
Yup and it’s becoming more apparent. Unfortunately it’s also becoming more apparent that many people’s morals are only held intact by a cosmic hammer hanging over their head. A real catch 22
>Unfortunately it’s also becoming more apparent that many people’s morals are only held intact by a cosmic hammer hanging over their head.
That's what the law is for. If we consider something immoral then we can make a law which makes it illegal. And then we can punish people who commit these immoral acts. Like abusing people, rape and murder, etc.
Which one?
All praise to the Goddesses and Gods of history.
>God
>1. (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe and source of all moral authority; the supreme being.
>2. (in certain other religions) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity.
Is there evidence for any "superhuman being" with "power over nature or human fortunes"? I've never seen credible evidence for any god.
Credible? Yes.
Accepted by you of all people? No.
What credible evidence is there?
>The universe! It must have been created by a creator!
I don't accept this. I think we don't know what created the universe, or even whether anything created it.
At best, "God" is a massive assumption. At worst it's a deliberate lie.
>Nobody has ever seen or heard God
Except for all the people who say they have
>B-but they don't count because I don't believe them!
Can they even prove that it was God they saw?
Ok, God has spoken to me just now. God said that pineapple on pizza is actually quite good. (and it is), oh and God also told me that all the contents of the bible got it wrong, and it's just a prank from God.
My testimony should be regarded by you as equally valid as any other person's claim of hearing the direct word of God.
I fricking hate those christians on youtube trying to get me to believe in Jesus. Jesus was born, so if god wasn't horny, he would never have been born. But apperently hes all powerful. When theres a gay video on Diktok, they always say ''Youre going to hell'' or some bullshit like that. Why would your god make gays if he hates them? And god has a face, so that means he's limited to one form. Atleast the muslims have common sense and some logic.
Youtube feeds you those videos so you'll hate watch them. I never get recommended Christian content, just Reddit-tier atheists.
Sup
Haha! Nice try atheist!
