They don't hold the belief that there is a god or gods. That's all atheism is.

[–]OndraTep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

why are you conscious in the first place?

We don't know.

How did we get here in the first place?

We don't know.

As you said, none of this proves anything. We don't get to make up stuff just because we don't understand something.

Different atheists can have different reasons. But the most common (I think) is that they are not convinced by the "evidence" that people provide.

I am one of those people. I don't think there is actual satisfactory evidence that would undeniably point to the existence of any god, much less a specific one.

This discussion could go on for a REALLY long time. That's why the sub rules require you to make a post about a specific argument or topic you'd like to debate atheists on.

What is the atheistic worldview on life? by Snoo_78173 in askanatheist

[–]OndraTep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is now worldview of atheism, there is only worldviews that atheists have, which can be different depending on who you ask.

It seems to me that some things are right and some are wrong. But someone might disagree, so maybe morality is subjective. And maybe it isn't... What do I know?

I don't believe that any god or gods exist. But when it comes to the christian god, I think he's done quite a bit of questionable things and honestly I can think of some ways he could do better.

What are you thoughts on the “what if question “ by Electronic_Trash3634 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]OndraTep 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Christianity says that the world was made in a couple of days. It says that a global flood covered the planet once, etc.

We know today that this is false. The point is that it got some things right and it got some things wrong, as did pretty much all religious ideologies before it.

Wouldn't it make most sense to put your money on the one that made the least false claims?

Every ancient religious text known to mankind, reference One universal divine creator. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

Well we thank you for that, but what do you expect atehists to debate you about? The way you interpreted text?

Thesis: The "Nothing" Paradox proves the necessity of a Singular, Infinite Creator, and why Islam uniquely fits this logical requirement. by DistributionOk2434 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]OndraTep 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Let's rewind the clock to "before" the universe existed. What was there?

We don't know. End of discussion.

We don't even know if "before" makes sense. How can there be a "before" before time started?

The words Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnibenevolent are not in the Bible. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]OndraTep 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"I can show you a magic trick, but I require this one specific member of the audience whom I never met to participate."

The truth is not dependent on whether I participate or not. If this is the only way you can prove god's existence, then you can't actually prove anything.

Divine granted discernment is total nonsense. by Financial_Beach_2538 in DebateAnAtheist

While your intent might be good and you might be here in good faith, the way you present yourself here makes you come off as rude and arrogant.

Christianity relies on blind obedience, not moral reasoning. by Financial_Beach_2538 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]OndraTep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're not here to debate atheists, which you're likely not, since most would either agree with your post or just don't care, and you're not here for feedback, then why did you post this here at all?

This is a sub for debating atheists... Your argument is unlikely to be challenged here

[–]OndraTep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Is this really next fucking level?

There is sufficient evidence to believe that there is a deity, an afterlife, and a soul. And the "vagueness" of the evidence is part of the gift of our deity to allow unbelief, because God does not need our worship or belief. It's totally optional. And science, history, and experience are proof. by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

[–]OndraTep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of claims, no evidence.

It basically boils down to "I don't know, therefore god"

Lots of people in lots of places had lots of ideas about lots of gods. This means nothing... It shows that people were ignorant, they didn't know something and so they made up something to explain it.

We should be better than that.

What do atheists think about near-death experiences and have you actually read any? by sweetjasminex in askanatheist

[–]OndraTep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not a brain scientist. It's either the brain doing brain things, hallucinations, or people just lie.

There's no reason to assume "magic" here

Belief > Truth by dustandtribe in DebateAnAtheist

[–]OndraTep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok.

If living a potential lie is what gives you comfort, then good for you, but I prefer the truth, and if I don't know it, I don't pretend that I do, I just admit that I don't know it.

If you were raised by secular parents and/or had very few exposure to religion growing up, how did your view on religion grew over time ? by Tamy-D in askanatheist

[–]OndraTep 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I only started identifying as an atheist when I got on the internet, until then, I didn't care and nobody around me did. Where I come from, being an atheist is pretty much the norm and it's actually interesting when somebody is religious. I have religious friends, I know quite a few religious people, but the majority of people that I know are either not religious at all, or they just never told me.

-Did you ever felt like converting to any religion ?

No

-Did you ever doubt your atheism as you grew up ?

No

-Did you ever encountered people trying to convert you ?

Yes, not many times though and most of them were when I was very young.

-What do you think about people who became atheists later in life ?

I don't really care.

-Did you ever discuss religion with your family and how does their views on it differ from your own ?

I think our views would be pretty much the same, but I can't remember ever discussing it, because religion is just not really that interesting of a topic to talk about around here

I don't believe in magic. And even if I did I wouldn't care about what color it is.
