OK. What is the proof?

Atheists think for themselves so there is no "party line." But they all
reject the concept of gods as an answer for anything.

I've had this discussion with enough atheists to know it's pointless.
Oh, but it isn't pointless. There is nothing pointless about showing the
BAAWAAAAAAWAAAAH Knights of atheism that atheism is inconsistent and
illogical. I do it all the time, but they do so hate to admit it.
There is much fun to be had in getting an alt.atheism atheist to define a
level of evidence for a Metaphysical X that does not entail a logical
error on the part of the atheist. alt.atheism arheists are collectively
witless to the idea that it is illogical to demand physically substantive
evidence of something that has no physical substance, and they will avoid
that truth at all costs.

You are in effect saying that something exists if I can't prove it does not
exist.
This is pure illogic. It is logical to assume something does not exist if
there is NO
OBJECTIVE VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE for its existence! |

However unless the insubtantial can be shown to have an effect, a
measureable effect that is independently verifiable, on the
tangible...it is indistiguishable from "nothing"
This fact nullifies your premise. Atheism remains on sound logical
footing.

What do you mean by this word, ``Metaphysical''? But never mind
that, you've got something more interesting further down:
Quote: The point being, atheism is prima facie illogical, whereas
theism is provably logical
Oh, really? This'll be good. Let's begin, shall we?
If theism is provably logical, then there must be strict
definitions to the terms which we can all agree upon. Not only is
that a bedrock of logic, but it's essential -- if, by ``shoe,''
for example, you mean ``a mass of undigested hair coughed up by a
cat,'' then there's no point in me mentioning the cobbler who
lives down the street.
So, to kick things off, how 'bout you telling us, precisely, what
you mean by the word, ``god.'' How is somebody to know that one
particular entity is a god while another is not?
Good luck. You'll need it.
Cheers,
b&

everything I reasonably can to enjoy as much of life for as long

I was dead for a dozen billion years or so before now; I imagine
I'll get used to it again after at least the first million years,

Dying I'd really, really rather avoid, at least in almost all the
forms it usually takes.
Same applies to people who claim there is no God.
Which god would that be, and what makes it so unique to single it
out for special attention?
Seems to me a silly thing to discuss:
100 ft in the air atop an antennae tower I misapplied a safety belt and
came very close to falling to my death. As they say, my entire life
flashed before my eyes in less than a second. If I would have died then
this may well have been the last thought I would have for eternity. If I
didn't like it then that would be hell.
It matters what we do.
That is my religious position.

I think he's claiming to have a logical argument, although he didn't include
it.
Quote: This is pure illogic. It is logical to assume something does not exist if

You are replying to my post but not to my comment, so I'll reply to you
nonetheless.
Much exists that is not objectively verifiable. Good character exists,
interest in certain topics, affection, sense of humor, compassion, courage,
just to name a few. Many things can be known subjectively but still not be
objectively verifiable. It would be more logical to simply report that you
have seen no objective verifiable evidence of something and leave it at that
rather than to assume anything. |

Well, but the people who understand logic, just keep
telling the theists that your agrument is nonsense, so
just keep making more robots fior the idiots.
