The Treadmill of Atheism
    #20731589 -

I have now been watching the Atheist and Christian community (it is NOT an Atheist/Theist community, they only talk to Christians) and I just want to point something out.

Atheists don't like testing themselves. When someone like Bill Nye debates Ken Ham, they all talk like "Are we sure we should really validate Ken Ham like that?" but then when Bill Nye is not debating Ken Ham, Matt Dillahunty is debating Sye Ten and everyone else is debating G man. The way to prove these people are not worth validating is by proving them wrong, not by talking to them OVER AND OVER.

If anyone else has been watching, you have probably noticed that Atheism has not ever clearly beaten the Presup. I personally think ALL the Christian arguments fail, and I actually have rebuttals for most of them, but the Atheists have literally been on this SAME topic for almost a year. Can someone PLEASE just think of a better argument than "Well, maybe I'm in a Matrix, but that's ok" again, I don't think the Christians have good arguments, but the Atheists have failed here.

If someone like Bill Nye doesn't come and prove it wrong, it will literally have atheists yelling at their computers for eternity, then having chats afterwards to talk about how circular the eternal debate was.

If someone wants to beat the presup, all you have to do is appeal outside your own reason. Stop being so full of yourself, and accept that you are not using YOUR reasoning, but are building on the reasoning of your ancestors, using their reasoning AND your reasoning, and hearing the reasoning of other. I have literally been watching for almost a year, and no one has been able to do that.

When I first noticed the Atheist community on Youtube a few months ago, I thought they were honestly the more intelligent side. I saw Bill Nye debate Ken Ham, and I thought he completely destroyed him, no one ever talks about the biggest boats we have ever made. Why would no one else use that in an argument against Noah? The boats fall apart, period.

As I watched the debates, I continued to feel as if the Atheists were smarter. But when you watch 2 people like Max Mills and Nick Duncan debate, you can see that there are obviously still some smart people that believe in God (and in case atheists don't know, not all religions require a creator).

But then I noticed something. "Atheism" has simply attached itself to "science". They are not smarter, in fact, many of them are "Shit Slingers". they will literally just say things like "Any tradition from before Jesus was just there because they had no better answer for it", not realizing that Doctors today STILL say the Hippocratic oath. This made it clear to me that Atheism and Science are actually opposed to each other.

Atheists don't like History. If you were to talk to a family in Britain, I am pretty damn sure they would know about the Royal family and the history thereof, and if you went to Vietnam they would probably have a pretty good idea of their heritage.

But because these Atheists are in America (and I have noticed a lot from Australia), they have the mentality that "That is ancient history", having no idea that history is how we got here.

They can accept Cosmology, and think that because they accept that, somehow they are "Science". But Science is far bigger than the realms of the atheist argument. Which has currently devolved to shit slinging. Can someone at least mold their shit into a nice statuette before slinging the next steaming heap?

I completely agree. I've been finding that atheists are just as closed minded as Christian people. Of course Christian theology is easily disproven and a lot of atheists think that means there is no deity of any kind. Their entire mindset is nothing but belief in a negative which is as easily disproven as the Christian dogma.

The validating bit is a real concern, i dunno bout ken ham whoever he is, but if someone is consistently illogical and annoyingly childish and such then responding to them among other things can give them the impression that they're worth responding to and promote keeping them in their way, which can cause them to make much more noises at you. You can't prove these things wrong, expecting bill nye or anyone to do so is unrealistic, you can think up and believe in a million things like god, nobody unless they go to each and every end of the universe could prove you wrong, but a lack of an argument against doesn't mean proof for. I won't argue with you about the swamp man, and even if i believed in him i wouldn't expect you to prove me wrong ever, i' the one making the claim so i should be the one wading through the swamps til i can find him and pull him up by his leaves/hair and say 'look here is the swamp man', besides i'd be the believer so i'd be the one knowing precisely what to look for.

this is why it always ends up amounting to talking over and over, you can't actually prove them wrong, but as soon as they ask you to you can just as evenly turn around and dump a thousand gods in their lap and say to prove them wrong. you can't even so much prove that things just happen rather than they were created, cause anything can have a 'god was behind it' thrown on top of it

i'm atheist but i don't like most of the atheist community, but i also don't like most of the christian community, i just don't like most people and they're all in communities.  i don't think they imply everything before jesus was there because people weren't as intelligent, there's plenty of disoveries and such that've been made all through history that most anybody could agree with, but theres still always been an overwhelming belief in the magical alongside that, they're likely attacking that side of things rather than 'all ancient people', gotta use a little sense. hippocratic oath has scientific aspects (such as i will apply discoveries and proven methods to combatting unwellness in people) but others are just agreements and feel goods, such as 'i will respect the patients privacy' which is nice because we all feel better that way, but it's not full on science, it's a mix of how most people would -prefer- and enjoy being treated and using scientific discoveries within that framework, but discoveries that are still independent of it. if you got hemmorhoids and i cure them and i say 'this man had butt blisters and i have cured them' i didnt do anything unscientific by saying so,  i went against the oath, but didnt go against science at all, just the subjective preference aspect of it. what are the ways that you know to prove a creationist wrong and why keep them to yourself while everyone else runs in circles if you do have something?

Christian theology is not easily disproven. Atheists may think they are disproving it, because they dont understand the power of God or the true meaing of the scriptures.

But the tenets of Christian theolgy, there is a transcendental god who is the good beyond good and the source of all things, who is eternal, loving and just, etc. are not easily disproven.

I meant to refer to the literal exoteric interpretation as believed by fundamentalists. I actually have a lot of respect for the esoteric and mystic interpretations. Like you, I don't think it matters if a story is true or not because as an allegory it has important lessons for mankind. As a child I was raised to believe the literal exoteric beliefs, which is whats easy to poke holes in.

Here is a PRIME example of the "Shit Slinging Brand Atheist"

I posted the "Treadmill of Atheism" to a bunch of atheist, including the Atheism group on Google Plus. And this morning I noticed basically a response video, though it is not labeled as such.



First I want to say that I think everyone should have the right to get married and I don't see what religion has to do with Marriage. That being said. This guy brings up the Gay rights court cases that have been happening recently, and says that in the past the only reason they didn't legalize gay marriage was "tradition". That is him shitting in his hand. Then he proceeds to sling that shit, by generalizing ALL religions as "Tradition" and all tradition as "Bad".

The supreme court justices that stalled gay marriage were largely Catholic, but Atheists don't actually know enough about this stuff to see the difference.

And secondly, WESTERN MEDICINE IS A TRADITION, having a court system is tradition, etc. Atheists need to stop acting like all traditions are bad. PLEASE SCULPT YOUR SHIT BEFORE THROWING. Thank you.

LOL - A just and loving Flying Superman is very easily disproven.

Today: 25,000 kids under the age of 5 die every day. That adds up to 9.1 million a year. The reason? Your just/loving Superman created a planet extremely hostile for humans, these kids are dying (at a rate of 17 per minute) due to lack of access to clean water or food. This would have been all preventable if Superman made the earth slightly better for growing crops.

In the US, 1600 people die of cancer a day. That is more than 1 per minute.

A drunk driver hits and kills someone at a rate of 1 per 53 minutes in the United States.

These death stats go on and on.

The 2010 Haiti earthquake (something pretty "natural") wiped out between 100,000 and 150,000 Haitans. The population in Haiti is only 10 million so a single weather event killed off 1% of the nation!!!

Some just and loving Imaginary Friend you have there.

400,000 women in the Congo are raped a year (that's more than 1000 a day).

Learn to use logical reasoning and learn how to think and it's quite easy to disprove a "loving/just" God.

Just google "CHILD KILLED" and see what pops up:

A Child Is Killed By Violence Every 5 Minutes: Unicef UK

Child killed, 4 others wounded in 'gang-involved' Detroit shooting

Toddler killed, 2 others injured in shuttle bus crash at New Jersey farm

Why Atheism is Failing

Yesterday I posted an argument for the Atheists, as I said, I think the Christians are the ones with the worst arguments here, but the Atheists should be able to smack them down no problem. So since I want to see all of this move forward, I am going to present you with some arguments to beat the Christians.

Presup

1. The same as yesterday, appeal outside your own reasoning by appealing to the reasoning of other people and the work of people before you.

2. Pick an absolute. Like Lobsters, ask the Atheist "Why are Lobsters Illegal to over fish in Florida, why did God make it that way" They will most likely respond confused, then you tell them that it is for conservation purposes to make sure lobsters exist in the future. Then you proceed from there asking them why God did different things with Lobsters, and at this point, they are no longer in the presup argument.

GO WIN NOW.

Pascal's Wager

This one only needs 1.

1. The Christians say "Well, what if God is real, it's better to believe than to not, just in case. And if it's not true, I believed something for no reason and who cares?" the way you respond to this is by saying that is the religions of Abraham one day aren't the most popular, people could hunt down all the circumcised people and kill them, and you don't want to put your descendants through that, so might as well not be Abrahamic.

GO WIN NOW.

Evolution

1. The Christian says that "no one has ever seen change over time, and we will not live long enough to ourselves". SHOW THEM FOSSILS. Look up "Whale Wolf Transition Fossil" and I am sure you will find something you can point to and show "This used to live on land, now it is in the water." Then show them the Fossil Record of Humans and things that we passed down like fire and dream herbs, so that they can see that these people existed in a timeline and not at the same time.
2. The Christians say "The Bible has a table of lineage, and it tells me that from Adam to Jesus there were only enough Generations for approximately 6,000 years". All the Atheist has to do is look up "Syro-Palestinian Archaeology" and show them things like Jericho 10,000 vs 6,000 BC and Bethlehem and all that.

3. The Christian says "There is no mechanism for Evolution". Ask them how they would prepare to go to Alaska, then ask them how they would prepare to go to Mexico. Then ask them if they think they had kids that grew up in there, if they think that kid might have kids with people there. Then ask if they think those kids will be different from the other kids there, and if they are different from the kids in the original country, There is your mechanism.

GO WIN NOW.

Cosmological

You guys seem to have forgotten this one, but you always had an argument for it. When they say "The universe had a beginning, therefor a creator" you say "What if the Flying Spaghetti Monster?". That is WHY he was invented.

So I posted the Atheist Treadmill thing, and on a forum an Atheist kinda got angry with me. Then he realized I was not arguing for Christianity, so he paused for a moment and was talking casually about the Matt Dillahunty, Sye Ten debate with me. I told him that I don't think Sye Ten has a single brain cell in his head, but Matt Dillahinty still got caught in the presup, so it wasn't a clear win.

Then he said he would debate me, and I went ahead and sent something to him, because I am pretty sure a video debate would just devolve into insults since he is defending himself against the things I said, and I only ever said anything about "Shit Slinging Atheists" so he must feel like that fits him, or he would not have tried to defend against it. Everyone knows there are atheists that don't know what they are talking about that just hate religion, they are shit slingers. You don't have to identify with them if you are Atheist, they are just a group of people that don't understand what they are fighting.

But anyways.

I send him the thing explaining my Gods, and instead of being able to prove me wrong he retreats to "Those are lower case gods, not God". And I told him that things change over time, for example, "Atheos" was the original word for "Atheist", and it referred to people who did not believe in the popular Gods like Zeus. So in Greek times, this was a reference to Jews and Christians, because the Greeks worshiped the planets. They called Jupiter "Zeus" and they called History"Clio" and they called tutors "Mentor", We still use the word "Mentor" today to explain how someone is embodying the spirit of helping us learn.

So I tell him this, and he gets all twisted, saying that "Atheists can't have Gods" and I had to explain to him that the only reason I was putting it in historical context, was because he was saying that Gods can only be "All Powerful, All Knowing sky men".

And I tried to tell him that I was not trying to say that modern Christians are Atheists, I was saying that the word Atheist comes from Atheos which came from Christians, who worshiped a man. Not Gods like the Greeks. So the Greeks called them "Atheos".

Then he told me I had not told him what my God was, and never gave him a definition. So I explained to him how the seasons move with the planets and the plants are planted and harvested based on those changes. Ancient people called those Gods, and I am calling them Gods.

Then I told him to stop being a Christian, because only Christians, Jews and Muslims think God is an all powerful all knowing being. And most of the world lives in China and India, so MOST OF THE WORLD doesn't even agree with the idea of the Christian God.

And he won't give it up. He says he is Atheist, but he will only accept an all powerful, all knowing sky daddy. Doesn't that make you Christian?
