In all these years debating with religious people I ve never been faced with an argument that I ended up to find challenging or hard to dismantle. They go from the clever ones to nonsense one ( like "cause I feel it in my heart" ) to the most stupid and elementary ones ( like the classic "what if you're wrong" ) but in the end they always can be rejected by use of reason and logic (even if they usually find unsatisfactory those answers cause they dont praise reason and logic ). Maybe I ve been unlucky and found only weak debaters. So my question is both to religious and not religious people
To non believers I ask, Have you ever faced an argument that really represented a challenge for you or that you weren't able to dismantle?
To believers I ask, is there an argument that you think you can present and that no unbeliever has ever been able to provide a good answer to? ( assuming it wasn't only because you would reject every possible explanation going against your faith, like for example creationists rejecting all the arguments against Noah s ark )
It's always easier to scrutinize others' beliefs rather than your own.
Theism or atheism, there is no proof either way. So ask yourself what you feel is the best argument for atheism, scrutinize that and compare the two- In doing so most conclude that chance does not adequately account for the world we see around us. But either way we all believe something. As long as we acknowledge that we are open to examining our beliefs. Blind faith is faith which does not recognize itself, and so can never be questioned.
