Something to think about. If you’re right and I’m wrong I’ve wasted a few hours each week and maybe spent a little too much time trying to be nice. If I’m right and you’re wrong, unfortunately you’ll spend eternity without my imaginary friend. Also, scientifically the probability of life existing is zero. It takes as much faith to believe in the luck of life as in God. No need to make fun of those that choose to believe.
Well said! That dude can’t keep pace with C.S. Lewis logic as that. And to your point…everyone has faith in something…based on the evidence, I simply don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.

Atheism is not a claim that god does not exist. It’s simply that theist have not met the burden of proof. It is the natural state. Like I am “atheist” to the existence of bigfoot because I am unconvinced that he exists. I’m not making the positive claim the he does not exist, just that I have yet to be convinced he does based on the current evidence. Based on the current evidence I am also unconvinced that a god exists. I’m not claiming that a god does not exist jist that the burden of proof by those who claim he dies have not met that burden of proof.
Your argument of “what if you are wrong” is a fallacy. What if YOU are wrong? What if YOU have chosen to believe in the wrong god? You are just as atheist as I am about all other gods.
Also, there is zero faith involved in being an atheist. The null view is the default view. You should never be convinced of anything until the evidence warrants it. Faith is what you use when you don’t have good reason to believe. It’s literally by definition believing in something for which you do not have evidence for. Is that logical? Is that how we should base all our decisions?
