i’m fine with you guys ganging up on me instead of addressing the issues here. It just shows everybody else your inability to put your beliefs on the table to be scrutinized, which will lead many to realise that there is no foundation beneath your beliefs.

Aww you sound butthurt. Did I crash your dogma?
I'm here to help, if you can stay rational for a second: what didn't you understand?
I don't think he understands he's in the Metaphysics forum...
Woodcarver! Exposing lack of reasoning everywhere!
Coming soon to a forum near you.
One second Woodcarver. I'm just popping to the Science forums to discuss Georges Bataille's book The Solar Anus and expose some lack of reasoning myself.
Be right back. ok?

Because your experience and my experience become truth
where they overlap. There's a lot of empty meaningless space left which is simply your brain filling in blanks which are part of your experience but not truth.

Stating your personal opinion isn't definitive proof of existence.

You hold up a sec. I was responding specifically to someone declaring that they proved that god, angels and demons exist in relation to consciousness existing outside the brain. I wasn't even addressing you. And frankly, the topic of the conversation is supposed to be about atheism, so the goal posts have already been thoroughly readjusted before I reentered the thread.

Hold up a sec?
When did this turn into wanting definitive proof of the existence of God??
The issue here was wanting to know WHY people believe in God.
Move the goal posts much? Very scientific!

Lol at everyone still slugging it out here, it is impossible to verify the existence of any deities so many people (including myself) do not believe the claims. How any theist can argue with that rational position I have no idea.
I say believe what you like, and brainwash your kids if you like, but don't pass faith of as anything remotely close to being verified.
I was honest with my child "There is no verifiable evidence to support any claims of gods, dragons, ghosts, monsters or other woo" He doesn't believe any of the claims either. Children are all atheist until someone teaches them to believe old stories.

Lol, do you know any kids who came home from kindergarden saying "God spoke to me today mom, I am now a believer"?
I'll call god a prick then because he didn't give any loving experience to my son who was unfortunate enough to be born to an atheist dad.
I say bollocks, and every child that believes in any god only does so because human adults have taught them to.
All children are atheists until they get brainwashed, you know it, everyone knows it, but it doesn't fit your lame 'experience' narrative, it's okay, I understand why the truth troubles you, it indicates that 'god' belief is a purely human social construction.
