Since you can't back up your previous claims and can't answer my questions I'm going to stop responding to your trolling here.

That's why we have laws, dingbat.

Athesim has no direct correlation with the agenda you are trying to sell.

But it doesn't dominate how you view the world. It's only a part. Family, culture, nationality, education and a host of other things also contribute to a world view.

It isn't any of those things. It is simply having no belief in gods.

Who exactly said its OK?

Atheism isn't a movement. It doesn't say anything. It is simply a lack of belief in gods. So...try again. Who exactly is supposed to be saying this?

Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten about all the Church sex abuse scandals. It's just a fact of life now, constantly in the background. https://apnews.com/article/pope-abuse-switzerland-vatican-d5ebd849de76e578dd503db0a46dea78

Missing the point as usual Tiger. Be a dear and go put the kettle on, will you?

I'll go back to what I said before. You said: And that's where the argument fails, right away. It doesn't have to be a being. It could equally be some natural entity, force or pattern existing outside of and before our Universe...

He's just trolling you into an off topic conversation with the aim of getting you banned. That's his whole MO.

There are pumpkins in the world. For every pumpkin that we observe, there exists the possibility that there is another pumpkin bigger than it. This cannot be true of every pumpkin, however, since that would lead to an infinite regression of pumpkins. Therefore, there must be one pumpkin that is...

And, pray tell, what religion comes out on top for him? 😄 😄 Every single religion is going to say common sense is on their side.

I could literally have the same response from a Hindu about the Vedas.

Let me rewrite this. "Correct, which is why we have [insert key sacred document from your own religion here], which is the only way to find out who God is. You can easily determine via [insert unprovable assertions here], the need for a Creator, but that's as far as it goes."

Again, the conclusions have to be true in the real (a posteriori) world. The last step left out of all these arguments is "So let us know when you find this god. Then we can see whether your premises were true". So yes, while they are academically interesting no doubt to many, they are not...

There's nothing to master. There's this interesting witticism: Philosophy is the applied misuse of terms invented specifically for that purpose. (Though most philosophers agree the 5 Ways are not proper or rigorous proofs as far as they are concerned.) Instead the 5 Ways are "intuitive...

Religion reduced down to first principles. And proof that, with religion, you can in fact polish a turd.

You can't fight in here. This is the war room.
