    Do you KNOW God does not exist?

    WOW .. you can know things that are beyond the very scope of the UNIVERSE!! We have a concept "god". It's extremely vague, so vague as to be practically meaningless. BUT you seem to "know" that "the concept is beyond the scope of the universe".. somehow. It's beyond the scope of the universe...

    Do you KNOW God does not exist?

    That really depends on how you use the word "reasonable". I don't think it's reasonable to believe in something for which there is NO proof and NO evidence.. but hey.. that's just me.

    Do you KNOW God does not exist?

    And the same goes for the believer. If you are only claiming to know something for certain, but have NO PROOF NOR ANY EVIDENCE to support the claim, then you can't say that it DOES exist. In effect, your claim to certainty of the god's existence would be bogus. If you make a claim that you...

    Do you KNOW God does not exist?

    Logic that isn't based on reality isn't good logic. We can make things up all day long as say it must be so. Well, we can say whatever we like. But thinking does not make something true JUST because you happen to like the idea. You have a fantasy you think makes sense. Ok.. But that isn't proof...

    Atheism is not a default position

    I concur about stones not eating cakes. Most definitely. When I grow up, I want to be wise like you.:D and then I'll be able to say things about stones not doing stuff, too.

    Atheism is not a default position

    One has cognitive function and the other has no cognitive function. HOWEVER, the question isn't ABOUT cognition. It's about a LACK of cognition. Anything LACKING in cognition cannot HAVE cognition. It's the same way as having a million dollars. IF you lack a million dollars you don't NEED...

    Atheism is not a default position

    No, I can understand the question. Do babies have beliefs in gods? NO .. babies DON'T have beliefs in gods. What is so meaningless about the question OR the answer?

    Atheism is not a default position

    That is true. A stone and a baby and a chair and an atheist and a giraffe and a toaster ALL LACK a belief in existence of Deity. Stones and babies and chairs and atheists ALSO LACK the ability to fly without help. Stones and babies and chairs and atheists ALSO LACK the belief in gods. You...

    Atheism is not a default position

    You seem to be having some difficulty understanding how words work in the real world. Talking about words by using words gets very confusing to us all. Allow me to try to untangle what I see is confusion on your part. 1. Relations are first of all CONCEPTS ( thoughts with WORD LABELS ) We will...

    Atheism is not a default position

    What on EARTH are you talking about? How does this relate in any way to the topic?

    Atheism is not a default position

    From another author 1 If the term “atheism” describes a missing mental property (i.e. a lack of belief), then the definition is too broad to be meaningful. Given this new definition there would be no difference between an atheist and the armchair he’s sitting on; that is, an armchair also lacks...

    Atheism is not a default position

    This is like the guy who didn't go to Chicago because he can't travel for some reason. He didn't travel to Chicago REGARDLESS OF THE REASON WHY. DID he go to Chicago? Of COURSE HE DIDN'T GO TO CHICAGO.. he can't TRAVEL. The reason why.. that he can't travel for some reason IS ANOTHER QUESTION...

    Atheism is not a default position

    oh? do you have any evidence for this weird belief?

    Atheism is not a default position

    Yes, a belief is a stance on a person's opinions and views. If I make claim X, for example.. do you BELIEVE that whatever X is.. HAS to be true.. or doesn't HAVE to be true? What is your opinion on the truth value of X? Yes, labels point to things. That's true . GIVEN the claims made by...

    Atheism is not a default position

    You don't think you need proof for your beliefs. That's fine. What is your default position on truth claims? Do you believe every truth claim as a default, or do you NOT believe all truth claims as a default? Can you declare yourself?

    Atheism is not a default position

    Yes, we know that people form their beliefs by thinking and considering the truth of a claim. What is your point. That beliefs are beliefs? What should be the DEFAULT position on beliefs? Should we believe all truth claims by default, or should we NOT believe all truth claims by default...

    Could you PLEASE stop insinuating that people aren't real ADULTS? We don't need to be insulted. thank you.

    Atheism is not a default position

    I don't know. I didn't. Someone else brought up the subject of babies as examples of pre-cognitive or un-cognitve entities like rocks. We are discussing whether the default position on truth claims should be YES to all truth claims or NO to all truth claims. I say that the default SHOULD be no...
