Earlier today a couple of guys and I were having a discussion and somehow it branched off to the existence of God. I flatly said I didn't believe in the biblical or Quranic God. Tempers rose up and some actually threatened to hit me with charm to proof the existence of God. I sent hours trying to explain the ridiculousness of the religious texts. And ironically, someone who didn't even know about the existence of other planets in our solar system actually called me ignorant. I wonder if anybody else has faced situations like this.

i wonder how some theist think (that is if they think). Once sef I was arguing with some guys and they asked me if there is no God why is there only one sun The person that asked this qus is a 300L electronics and computer engineering student. Some people even ask why do we dream?
One silly statement one guy even said that the bible has proved that the sun is d source of light. like WTF!!! I then asked him if humans did not know about d sun beign d source of light till d bible was written. He could not reply. And yes some people have turned violent to me for simply not believing in their God.

Atheists are confused people. Always trying and looking for ways to prove that there is no God when it is evident that there is. Ever heard of testimonies Anyway, I rest my case cause arguing will lead to nowhere.

When it comes to debating believers/theists, I'm very conscious of the environment, the language I use and the set of people I debate with.

1 Environment, in the sense that you can't be in public discussing religion if you the only atheist around, you would be getting tackled by numerous people at a time and might make you loose application of logic. The best environment should be a closed on where you have your targeted group like class room, in the bus/car, office etc

2 language- Don't sound condescending like putting it straight they ignorant, let them determine they are ignorant themselves by asking them certain logical questions, watch them give ridiculously answers and provide them with answer.

3 Set of people- The type of people you debate matters a lot, never debate an illiterate! It would make you look like another illiterate who just don't believe in God's existence.


I debate people a lot from professors down to my peer group and those aforementioned are my experiences over time.

I'm proud atheist till I flat line.

What are the evidence of god's existence

Ruq:
You can't never win, the stare you'll get only. Why do you even try? One of the questions they'll ask you is did you create yourself ? They'll ask you how did the animals come to be and if you can create them. They're logical too in their own way

Seriously once we come to fully understand how we came to be everyone will readily dump the idea of gods, until then The idea will continue to be relevant and as it looks we may never fully understand.

I bet you too where trying to show off how smart you were.

Oluwaseytiano:
Nope, BT these guys were 4th year biochemistry students. I was just trying to reason with them

2) Design in living things
3) Consciousness in humans.

And how exactly do they show the existence of a god
And which of the gods

Ruq:


Reason, you can't debate with someone who's definite God is the reason they wake up each day. They too will ask you questions you have no answers for and from there on they accuse you of not knowing everything too. If you really understand a few of the God concept you'll see they aren't wrong about the God they choose to believe, what you think is contradictory actually make sense even if it's seems absurd. If you keep observing you'll see all the attributes credited to this god isn't wrong.
