Does Atheism provide peace of mind to its adherents?

[SkepticThinker]

Then why ask me?Please

I’m the one who originally asked you, because you claimed that, “No positive evidence can that poster provide for "G-d does not exist", in this sense it is mere a fantasy.’


So I asked you to disprove the existence of Zeus by providing positive evidence that Zeus does not exist so that I could point out why your assertion doesn’t make sense. Maybe you could address that next time you respond.

An attempt at making sense of this thread:

It is possible that @paarsurrey is assuming that atheism is an active choice to somehow deny what he perceives as the natural alternative, namely the acceptance of a monotheistic, creator God.

Some of his posts suggest that he also finds atheism to require effort, even resistance to the "evidence".

Until and unless those misconceptions are corrected, I doubt there will much progress in mutual understanding here.

Maybe. I must admit, I am a bit confused.

Also, the hot Russian waitress is still working. She didn't tell me to say hi to you though. Sorry, man.

We're finally talking about the important stuff!

How hot is she? Like Chernobyl hot?

Practically, it's identified by things like question avoidance and non sequiter.

I can see that metaphor.

In other words one does not have any positive evidence for Atheism.
If one would have believed in Zeus, then I would have discussed with one as to what G-d is truthful.

Please check my own post #242 above. You are furthering my suspicions that it might be accurate.

Atheism, strange as it may sound to you, never needed any evidence and probably never will.

What I'm asking you is how can a person present positive evidence for a NON-BELIEF?

 

[LuisDantas]

It is a supernatural skeptical power. Or something.

 

[lewisnotmiller]

Is the question difficult? Humour me...

Do you believe in Zeus?
Why/why not?

@paarsurrey
I suspect I'm not going to get an answer to this very simple question. That is, in and of itself, suggestive of belief founded in shaky ground.

Do you believe in Zeus?
Why/why not?

As previously mentioned, I personally don't believe in Zeus, as I can see no compelling evidence for his existence.

That is why I say Atheism is a temporary station, not a permanent residing abode.
If you cannot provide evidence, then please exist it, if you may. No compulsion whatsoever, please.

You are so utterly confused that it is sad.

Atheism, quite simply, does not and never will need a justification of any kind. Unless, I suppose, God manifests ahead of one or something.

It is quite disrespectful of you to assume otherwise.

I'm pointing out that there is no positive evidence for disbelief in a thing. Having positive evidence for a belief in Zeus is the opposite of what I am talking about. Once again, what I am talking about is NONBELIEF.

I assume (perhaps wrongly), that you do not believe in Zeus. If you do not, then I'm sure you will gladly provide the positive evidence for your lack of belief in the existence of Zeus. Thus far you have not, which makes me think you do get the point and are simply avoiding it.

I therefore understand that Atheism is not justified. Kindly don't mind it, please.

[Revoltingest]

I find atheism comfortable.

Should I mind that you are prejudiced?

Let's just say lewis and i argued over whose shout it was just so we could go up to the bar and chat her up.

Atheism exists from a LACK of evidence. From your argument we have to believe in every god and every supernatural thing ever invented by man until evidence was presented against them. That is utterly ridiculous. Since I doubt very much that you believe Zeus exists, that makes you an atheist! Welcome to the club.

You, Lewis, hot Russian girl, and a Stolichnaya. What could go wrong...?
