Could you please give me space to talk to someone that seems to have a brain?

Thank you.

italo: Is this supposed to be your evidence that I do not perceive Jesus everyday?

Can you also prove to me that you do not believe in God?

(Scientific proof)


This is a new dimension in ill logic.
It reminds of the time Ihedinobi challenged atheisst to prove that snakes did not talk in the garden of eden.

italo: Oh! A few hours ago, your position was that a neutral baby would not be religious without parents indoctrinating them.

A few hours later, it is no longer parents but fear.

Anyway, you dont have physical evidence of this your version of the origin of religion yet you believe it.

It is only when religious people cannot give physical evidence of God that you start rioting abi?

Hypocrisy.


You are mixing it all up. Were my statements contradictory? Of course not. My previous post was in response to your question about the 'first' religious person. It had nothing to do with today's child who is subject to intense indoctrination from birth because of well-established traditions of organized religion.
Re: FAITH=DOUBT, RELIGIOUS FAITH= Extreme Form Of Atheism. We Are All Atheists(2) by italo: 7:34pm On Aug 25, 2013
My point is it is illogical to claim that something doesnt exist because:

You havent perceived it or

There are contradictory views about it,

I dont see the relevance of this post to my position.

plaetton:

Granted.
You perceive Jesus, I perceive the FSM and pirate Mosey(pbuh).
Now, do you believe me, and what is our common denominator?

God is an idea ancient humans created to help them explain things away, to make them rule over others and bring about order in the society. . .People use god to explain death, famine, diseases, sorrow, happiness, origin of man and the universe etc. . .God is just a human idea to explain things away that is why there are many gods, and even within the same religion people have different conception of who god is, as a catholic, i know many christians here like frosbel, truthlight and davidylan just to mention a few that believe you are not a christian because you have the wrong views about the christian god, but because you have been indoctrinated since childhood in a systematic way to believe and hold unto what you have been taught you actually believe it is you who is right while they are wrong. . .

The fact that there are many gods shows that it is a man made idea and conception. . .Jesus is real to you just as shiva the goddess is real to a hindu guy living in india. . .Its all about indoctrination and make belief, god is an idea and as we all know when it comes to religion belief is equal to seeing. . .In other aspects of life seeing is beliving, but when it comes to religion beliving is seeing. . .

I don't have to prove that your god doesnt exist scientifically because it is an idea and as such many people just create or form their own thoughts and conception about such an idea. . .All gods are man made as such you can not point to any god that exist on its own without human input. .

Like I said before, we got you trapped in "Religious Decoherence". You are falling into pieces.

Everything you have been saying since then smacks of fear and doubts about the belief about your god and the million cascades of myths built around him to keep him from falling like dominoes.

Religious people make scientific assertions, like god creating the universe, if that is true then there must be scientific evidence, if god heals people through prayers alone then there must be evidence for it. . .Saying that i should proof that god does not exist scientifically is nonsense, because you first have to provide scientific evidence to show that god exist then i will use the scientific process to test it and disprove it. . .So far the only evidence you have provided to show that your god exist is that you believe he exist and that is not an evidence. . .Provide evience then we can test it and show if it can stand the scientific testing only then can we disprove it scientifically. . .So far you have only presented an idea using words and you want us to disprove it scientifically. . .It doesnt work out that way. .Now tell me what is god? you have to define it first and give us its full attribute then we can test it and see if we can disprove it scientifically or not. . .So tell us what your god is, how we can test it and know that it is your god and its specific attibutes. . .we can begin from there. . .

God is spirit and I perceive him Spiritually. So I am under no obligation to prove his existence scientifically. If you assert that I am lying about this spirit then YOU prove that I perceive no such spirit.

If you think that people who make non-physical assertions must prove them scientifically, then prove to me that you love your mum, prove that you are an Atheist, prove that you are thinking before posting...that your posts are not a result of a random chemical reaction etc, tell me what is love, thought etc..Let's see if you practise what you preach.

If you cant prove these things, you have no right to assert them to me...or expect me to prove anything to you.

Oluye0311:
Your statement is based on the false premise that Atheism is 'opposition' of Theism. It is not. Atheism is simply a lack of belief in any god.
A child has no beliefs in any god though that does not qualify it for the tag 'atheist'. A child can, therefore, not be Jewish or Muslim for example. Now, imagine that religious tradition which ensures religion is passed from parent to child is nonexistent. Would we have religious adults? Most unlikely. We'll definitely have atheists and agnostics in the majority. That kind of proves that agnosticism is our default 'settings' as humans.
Dude, can atheism exist if there is no theism?

What sort of nonsense tossing away of the burden of proof is this??!

Bros, all this nonsense you've been spouting about for how many pages now? Most are all subjective experiences. And all, absolutely all, have a material base. No material = no manifestation. No brain = no ability to perceive anything. Your brain activity is the root of all your experiences, and it can be tracked. We can even implant memories in mice for instance. We might not have all the keys needed to show how consciousness fully works, but unless you could show us how anything at all can manifest without a physical base (ie at least macroscopically, but even virtual particles can be shown to be ripples in fields, and thus not something from nothing), then exactly why do you expect us to take your drivel seriously?

So, please, do show us how these delusions in your head exist in the real world. Do please show why we should care. Show us how what you perceive, which has absolutely no backing, empirical or even logical, in any form whatsoever, is objectively real.

You most definitely are not the first deluded human in history, many people still think Elvis is alive, BH members still think the world is flat, others that if you pick up money on the street you'll turn to a goat, you shake the wrong persons hand and your pipi would be stolen, etc. Consider that you likely push talking fires, donkeys and snakes, actually more ridiculous than all I've listed here, yet you expect to be taken seriously?

No one knows for sure exactly at what point in human history that religion, the worship of dieties sprang up. What we know for sure is that it must have been gradually and crudely. With particular emphasis on the monotheistic Abrahamic religions, we know that they came into prominence by simply muzzling,hustling and murdering out older and smaller polytheistic religions that they came into contact with.

We know from historical facts that the Abrahamic concepts of divinity consist of a mish mash of insignificant events, and the ideas and myths of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan, Greece, Rome and even India. Because it is a basket that cannot hold water, the monotheistic god of the Abrahamic religions rely on heavily fortified layers of cascaded myths to support the central theme of a one and only god.

To illustrate this point, consider holding a basket filled with water and then desperately fidgeting and scampering to plug and hold off all the water leaking from every corner.

The narratives and doctrines of these major religions are entirely constructed around fear and the suppression of doubts.

-atheists can not scientifically justify their claims and so, my unscientific claims about god are true.


Italo forgets that the burden of proof is upon the claimant. Atheism make no claim. Theists claim that there is God. Prove his existence with the standard tools of proving existence- the scientific method
