Present arguments for atheism

More of your posting tons of garbage debating tactic. You've got no argumentation. Atheism in practise is about rejecting subjectivity, as was fully explained, argued, and evidenced.
Ouch.
Sad that you think my posts are a "debating tactic".
It does explain quite a bit about your posts though.

I am not in this thread debating.
I am relieving boredom.

Posting garbage is your debating tactic. You post tons of garbage, and then after it you say you have refuted the argumentation.

When have I claimed to have refuted any "argument" you made?
Seeing as I have as yet to see you present a coherent argument, how can you be refuted?
I suspect that is the very reason you foist bull ****.
 
Then I'd be curious to hear your thoughts about other life in the universe. Perhaps in a private conversation.



That's fine. I on the other hand see life as so miraculous and magical that believing in such a being isn't a struggle at all.



Maybe I should of used the word "catalyst?" I wasn't referring to a life essence or soul even though that's something I believe in as well. I was referring to the switch (if there is such a thing) that allowed non-living to become living. I'd also disagree that the only difference between living and non-living is the arrangement of parts.



I won't deny that substances that influence the brain can cause experiences that are mistakend as religious and paranormal experiences, but I would consider it a mistake to say every experience every human has had in the history of mankind was a delusion.

Right on dude, I'll hit you with a PM.

I'm not certain, it sounds as though you're conflating the quality of your human experience with "aliveness." I've got a pretty decent buzz working at the moment, so I should probably provide a definition:

Quality in the sense that you're experience of being alive is (obviously) rooted in your ability to rationally reflect, etc. This is an enjoyable characteristic we humans possess, although I don't know that we're any more alive than the fruit fly which is currently cruising around my kitchen.

A primary concern with recourse to religious and/or mystical experience is that we know, with certainty, that many of the characteristics and traits of those events are exactly duplicated by drugs, neurodegenerative disease, chemical imbalance, temporal lobe seizure, etc. Of course, such a high correlation doesn't automatically exclude some form of divine communication. However, it appears to provide more than sufficient grounding for substantial skepticism.

Everyone now knows that when ever you post about garbage you are pretty much admitting defeat.
Hells bells, you even flat out admitted it.

and your post(s) is/are not>?

I actually have an argument, evidence, explanation, the works.

There is a pattern of atheists rejecting subjectivity. To anybody who looks into it, this cannot be denied, it is very obvious. That means atheism is simply an intellectual expression of a common human failing, the head vs heart struggle. We can say that strictly logically atheism does not require the rejection of subjectivity, although it does require the absence of a form of subjectivity, but in practise this rejection of subjectivity in general constitutes about 80 or 90 percent of the intellectual position of actual atheists.

Present your argument for atheism.
Argument that why atheist don't believe any god exists?
It's because there's no convincing evidence which can leads them to believe any god exists.

Some theist may present their evidence for their religion's claims, and they think their evidence is very convincing.
It is indeed very convincing for them, but it does not mean any atheist have to agree with them if those [convincing evidence for theist] is unconvincing for atheist.

And some theist making the kind of argument that only when after atheist have sincerely believes/accept their god, only then their god will enlighten back to atheist and evidence will be reveal to atheist. It's impossible to prove whether those argument is valid or not. If atheist try the method but there's no enlightenment return by any god, then those theist say it's because atheist is insincere. There is thousands of numbers of different gods, use that argument on all of those gods individually to see how the argument is very unconvincing and impossible to prove whether it is valid or not.

Some atheist try to sincerely believes/accept god A, but there's no enlightenment return by god A, then theist who's believe in god A say it's because atheist is insincere.
Some atheist try to sincerely believes/accept god B, but there's no enlightenment return by god B, then theist who's believe in god B say it's because atheist is insincere.
Some atheist try to sincerely believes/accept god C/D/E...etc, but there's no enlightenment return by god C/D/E...etc, then theist who's believe in god C/D/E...etc say it's because atheist is insincere.

I wonder when those theist who's believe in god A and hold that kind of argument, present their that argument to another theist who's believe in god B who's also at the same time hold that kind of argument, what reaction those theist who's believe in god B will be.

Yes. Finally you make some sense. Theists subjectively believe that at least one god exists atheists have an absence of this particular subjective belief. You are an atheist yourself regarding all those gods other people subjectively believe exist.

Semantics. You can't be an atheist and a non-atheist at the same time.

Yes you can, as long as both are not the broadest application of the term.

In the same way you can be supporter of football but not a supporter of a specific team.

You really should share your definitions of argument, evidence, and "the works".
All I have seen is you twist everything everyone else posts into some nonsense garbage, reply to posts you dislike as garbage, make tons of false accusations, etc.

There is a pattern of atheists rejecting subjectivity. To anybody who looks into it, this cannot be denied, it is very obvious.
And yet there is a thread full of atheists denying it.
Of course, whenever said atheists try to get you away from your strawman, you run tail tucked right back to it.
