Sure, but they're just making baseless and unsubstantiated claims, something that seems hypocritical coming from one who rejects religious thought for the very same reason.


You can't make any claim about the purpose of life with the amount of evidence that you want, atheists know this and believe that each individual gives their own life purpose.

God definitely wants you to base your faith on being self-serving and figuring out which religion gives you the best benefits. That's why I'm a Muslim - eternal reward and a bevy of hot bitches in heaven is better than just an eternal reward.

So now you are arguing that your faith in a deity is subjectively better?

YA DON'T SAY!


No, it's objectively better.

Come at me.

How does Pascal's wager work when you factor in every religion ever created with the thousands of gods involved?

Oh right, you save yourself the excruciating amount of time and mental stress on this life, the only life we for sure know exists, by just being an atheist. Problem solved.

You'r striving for happiness for no other reason than that you are, they're is nothing greater behind it.

And I'm okay with this. There's no evidence that there is anything greater behind it, so there's no reason to think there is.

God can become whatever you perceive Him to be. He understands our intentions. :)

Atheism embraces pointlessness, ethics are meaningless if the entire world is pointless. Saving the earth from "global warming" would be pointless if the world is meaningless. Staying faithful to a spouse and/or doing anything to help society as a whole is pointless, meaningless because it will all be gone anyways right? Especially if no one is going to reward you for it. What is the point of being remembered for any time at all when you will eventually be forgotten. Atheism is more harmful than religion. In fact religion is helpful to society.


What religion do you follow and why that specific religion? Without it would you set hospitals on fire since that's the only thing holding you back? That's kind of scary. I really hope you never lose faith.

By this logic everyone should convert to Islam

edit:

I'm glad someone else saw it too

It doesn't. It's just a cop out for cowards.
