Atheism is not a default position

[McBell]

Golly. I didn't know it was about credibility. I'd better re-think my positi---no. I'm good, thanks.

I have established that the only way for you to maintain your "argument" is through blatant dishonesty.

Have at it.

 

[McBell]

It's all logic, really. Unless you can convince me of some other logic, my basic Aristolean logic applies.

I have no need nor desire to convince you of anything.

I also have no need nor desire to continue discussion with your blatantly dishonest tactics.

Have a nice day.

Good thing it's not about you.

Because no one can believe (or its negation) without something to believe (or its negation).

Belief is the belief of a proposition. (Because the world exists, it doesn't fail to exist.)

Atheism is specifically not believing in god.

It's not about nothing, which is all it would be to the person who is ignorant of said proposition.

You keep on saying "negation", but a "lack of belief" is not a negation of the belief itself. It is merely the absence of that belief.

You recognize the absence and then use the word .....belief....
You're just substituting one word for the other.

Atheism is a declaration.
The stain of choice cannot be removed.

No, negation of believing is not believing.

Negation is appropriate.

Creator wasn't created by any other being. I can't admit a universe made by nothing. Give me an answer, if God doesn't exists give the cause of universe, including you and me and this humanity, etc?

Give me a reason why there must be a cause first? And how can your cause have come to exist?

What words am I switching?

That isn't what she is claiming.

So, what's the cause of bacteria?

Why would they need a cause?

Pay attention to your own argument.

Enlighten me. Or are you just making false accusations that you can't back up?

Have you tried oxy clean?

Why would they need a cause?

Dead things do not beget the living.
Bacteria would still need that 'spark'
Blame God for the mold on your bread.

Have you tried logic?

 

[leibowde84]

What do you think she is claiming?

That theism is the mindset of bekief, and atheism is that mindset negated. In other words, one must actively believe that God does not exist.

Define "spark". Or is it just a speculative assumption that such a thing is necessary?
