@Jasper10,
Quote:My point is that if someone makes the statement that God doesn't exist and has never existed and then tries to justify why they take that view and make reference to this God either before or after they make the statement then they are not an Atheist at all.
Why?.....because they:
1.DEFINITELY can't PROVE that he exists or not.
2.DEFINITELY know that they don't know whether he exists or not.
3.DEFINITELY need to HOPE that he exists so that they can BLAME him for all the atrocities throughout history
They are FOOLS who are STILL unsure about whether he exists or not.
You are trying to make a case for their hypocrisy (true in some cases) but this is internet chatter we are engaged in. In this realm your assertions can be so easily refuted. They can even take the moral high ground from you.
How would you reply to their assertion that they are Genuinely concerned for their fellow man and want to save them from religious delusions that are essentially death cults? Is calling them 'Fools' is a good counter? They could make a better argument for their claim Of 'death cults' than that.
Between you and me, I don’t think there is a living soul on earth who ever seriously considered the question that thinks this life is an accident. Our problem is ever thinking that we could convince them of God. That makes us the Fools.
