What is his moniker?

Does he have to have a moniker before a thread can be about him?

Guy you have already dodged the question.
We have all seen it.
What u r doing now is what all atheist here do.
Major on the minor and keep the argument long.

However the case,
There is no method on earth a spirit can reaveal himself to humans that God has not used in communicating with man.
He has used all the methods.
You can only but pretend by throwing mud all around.

And to remind u that if u say in ur mind that God does not exist, its as good as a bacterium saying humans dont exist.
Wether such bacteria gets to see the proof or not, it doesnt change the fact.

Going by your assertion all the different religions that claim God communicated with their founders and is communicating with their members are all correct right?

Dalaman stop being coy. Where is your proof to your own claim?

Felixomor ignore him till he provides his proof.

Proof of what claim? I have told you to show me the God that exist in its own without human input. Will you show me that God already and stop crying all over the place?

You see? This is why we say proof is subjective as no proof would ever suffice for an atheist in self denial. You determine what you want as proof and when its given you switch to something else. Pathetic really.

Do you have any evidence to provide to back up your claim or not? If you do not then my convo with you ends now. Thank you
Ok.

What a way to go.

You seriously didn't think the post makes sense, did you?

Can you also show how you scientifically came to know how God MUST look like and MUST behave in all circumstances, so much so that you are convinced that if God exist, certain things should not happen or should happen.

I will be very glad to see an atheist come up with the EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE for his/her stand that there is no God, NOT against other people's believes.
This is very fair since that's what you say you believe in and I have seen a lot of atheists say, "Logic!" here on Nairaland while making fallacious claims. Let's put your "No God or gods" claim to LOGICAL TEST too and let's see the EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE as explained above,like you demand from others.

PLEASE NO ONE SHOULD RESORT TO INSULTING ANYONE OR REPLYING AN INSULT. LET'S FOCUS ON THE ISSUE.

Expectant.

Thanks.

Let me assume that you are sincere here.

Let's look dispassionately now at issue of god idea, and specifically its existence.

The human existential and essential experience, thrives on belief system - the mental process that helps humans to know and establish what they think is true. Be it tangible or in tangible.

The god idea (theism) happened to be one of the beliefs that humans developed at the earliest time of human development, in an attempt to resolve their perplexity, about some phenomenon they couldn't provide rational and empirical evidence for. This was due to ignorance and knowledge level.

At the exact time that this god idea/theory emerged, the belief that also rejected this belief emerged as well (atheism).

The beliefs (atheistic) that were put forward, to replace the rejected beliefs (theistic), subscribes to reason and objective explanations, as against the theistic views that were completely founded on assumptions and subliminal.

Can you respond to this pls.....

i have asked you to show me tangible proof to your claim of God being a man made idea by proving to me that you are probably 10000 yrs old and were there when the first man made God idea began and how lack of experiences or head knowledge brought this about. I also asked you to show me proof that you have interviewed all the god proponents worldwide to arrive at your conclusion.

I dont know how that translates to "all religions are correct"

I hope you know what a fallacy is?
Unless you want to pretend.
But if you want to pretend, no problem.

You do not believe God exists. Show us your empirical data backing this up if you have one. Or show us something irrefutable especially since science is still unable to disprove God. Show us how you arrived at your own conclusion and stop asking others questions when the OP is about proof.

Is there any atheist who can bell the cat and provide us tangle empirically proven proof that God is non existent? That is what this thread is about. Its not about Red Herrings or Goal post shifting or Fallacies in all its forms.

Simply Proof.

What are the methods? How do we know which method is correct and which is false? Most religions also say that they were divinely revealed.

Dalaman save your fingers and use it to show us proof. Stop typing irrelevant things to the OP. Show us your proof simple.

your initial post didn't mention "about".

I'm seriously thinking you all need some time to rethink your position and come up with something better than this.

Simply Proof.

When you rovide objective and incontrovertible evidence that your God exist then we will take up your challange. Remember we disbelieve in the existence of God's based on lack of evidence. If you have objective and incontrovertible evidence to show that your God exist provide it already.

Cop out! In other words you have no personal reason why you assert that God does not exist and depend on anothers opinion in order to form yours? Is that how a logical mind works? If it is then you are simply illogical.

How many times would u be told... U don't prove negative, u disprove positive and for you to disprove something, there must have been an initial attempt at proving that positive
