Atheism is not a default position

[leibowde84]

I have the opinion....MOST people believe in Something Greater.

As do I, but that is not relevant, as it has absolutely nothing to do with the default position of human beings.

If the majority believe....that would be the default.

False. The default position isn't based on the majority belief. Every single member of that majority at one point didn't believe, because the default position of disbelief is what we are born with.

LOL. Where are you getting this from. The "default" position has absolutely nothing to do with the majority. Here is the meaning of the term "default".

Default = "a selection made usually automatically or without active consideration due to lack of a viable alternative."

The minority think they found a reason not to.

The viable alternative is to believe.....most do.

It can also be argued....If you like....
humans are born AS atheists......and then learn to overcome that FAULT.

Read the definition. If it is a "viable alternative" then it CANNOT be the "default" position.

Even according to this, the "default" position is atheism.

Irrelevant comment. Majorities and minorities have absolutely no impact on what the default position is.

You obviously have no idea what the word "default" means. Majorities and minorities have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Only if that person is faulted....as in not able to consider....ANYTHING

I don't think your word salad is going to gel.

It's so obvious, all that is, universe is the effect. What is the cause?

It's so obvious. Earthquakes are the effects, Poseidon is the cause. Are you sure you want to join a club where all the members believe such things?

 

[ImmortalFlame]

The minority think they found a reason not to.

But you agree that everyone is born without belief, yes?

 

[Thief]

But you agree that everyone is born without belief, yes?

Not by choice.
Choice is pending.
Not believing in God is a choice.
