Saying "God does not exist" is ignorant.

Show me scientific proof that this unfalsifiable deity does not exist. Go on. Anti-theism is ignorance, not the other way around. ITT: users think I am attempting to prove my God. That is not what I am doing. ITT: users think me saying "it's ignorant to call an unfalsifiable claim, false" is ignorant.

  • You cannot prove a negative. The burden of proof is on you to prove your deity, not for me to disprove it. [i]quod erat demonstrat.[/i]

  • I'm not religious but I am Christian and I believe in God. If i die and he ends up not existing then ok but if he ends up being real hey I'm glad I got my points with him and prayed.

    • It's ignorant because it rules out a possible factor.

      It's a double edge sword. Saying a god does exist is just as ignorant as saying one doesn't exist. Until a god undeniably appears from the heavens we will never know for sure. Science can't guarantee one doesn't exist and faith can't guarantee one does exist.

    • Yeah, that's not true. Certain religious claims [i]are[/i] falsifiable. The minute you revise God down to a non-empirical entity, it literally becomes a futile concept to engage with and its de facto non-existence is the only epistemic regime under which you can actually operate. Now, claiming definitively the non-existence of God? Yeah, dumb. Probabilistically? No, clever.

      • I cannot prove a god exists. I cannot disprove a god exists. I can, however, prove, with the allowance of time and resources, that there is no reason for a god to exist.

          You're correct, but your point will go over the heads of a lot of people here. It's sad, but the modern internet user really sees science and religion as nothing more than two different sports teams. There's no room for subtlety if you view things in such a basic way. Science has no word on the existence of God. This is not a failing on science's part, but a demonstration of its most important principles. Science only comments on what can be tested. A supernatural entity, [i]by definition[/i], is something that science won't address. Even if our science one day advances to the point that it can comment on what we today would see as supernatural, it will still do so in an objective way. Science is not there to make you feel good about yourself and your existence. The pop-science mysticism that gets peddled out by the likes of Tyson these days is hilarious, mainly because it's breeding a generation of unthinking zealots just as bad as their enemy. If you don't have the capability to understand science yourself, then you're no better than a theist who blindly follows what their preacher says. If you make the argument that scientists know more about what they're talking about than you and that therefore you trust them, you're making a fantastically hypocritical appeal to authority. The only "meaning" science can give to your life is hope that true meaning (such as a brute fact) [i]may one day[/i] be derived and understood from science. Whether or not that will retroactively make science a truly meaningful pursuit today is an argument for the philosophers.

            You can not disprove god, in the same way that you can't disprove I own an invisible dragon that I can fly when nobody is looking.

            • Atheism isn't ignorant. Neither are other religious beliefs. Whoever you sir are. I don't care if you are a Christian, Atheist, etc. but you are ignorant.

            • Wow let's post a thread that has been debated for "god" knows how long just to get attention. Your a tard, and your beliefs don't matter to anyone who has a brain and can think for themselves.
