Another angle on AS above statement:
"As for the theorized existence of an atheist, just because you can define something in a way that it could exist, doesn't make it true. Until atheistic hypothesis can make a prediction that can be confirmed by observation and experimentation, it's just a bunch of dodging and weaving denial." WOW...just Wow.... Im pretty sure I'm not a theory,and that I do exist. I pinched myself to be sure....it hurt. Also...I saw myself in the mirror.

I've never been able to pinch an alleged god.

AS, are you still at it with this thread? It is amazing how insecurity, whether conscious or not, can motivate one.
George, as I've said before I enjoy these debates. No insecurity needed. Do you have something constructive to add, or were you just here to toss the Ad Hominem?

Just guessing here, so I did a double blind study...had someone else pinch me...yep...still hurt. And I could be seen in their mirror too....so I'm going with existing. If I didn't exist I wouldn't have to pay all the friggin bills I have!

ingwe ought to just come clean on the Big Bang. He was there, after all.

No, no; I'm here anytime for serious discussion. Best started by phone call or PM though; less chance for nuance misinterpretation. 😊
You do show remarkable stamina though in kicking against the goads, eh wot?

Now there is an experiment I gather load mouths are scared of. Pinch God - Pray that tell God that if he exists he should prove it too you... Get nasty about it if you want.... Wouldn't that be the full test...

It is at least labeled a theory and not presented as fact without anything whatsoever to back it up. And I wasn't there. If there is a hell, you know what you'll be smoking....

You farted and started it all, didn't you?
Or, is this what happened the last time you shot something with a .270....

Until atheistic hypothesis can make a prediction that can be confirmed by observation and experimentation, it's just a bunch of dodging and weaving denial." CCCC, Yes, Atheist do exist. Consider this, all babies are born atheist. A, is without, theist is belief in god(s). Since babies have no knowledge of god(s), since they have not been taught about them, they cannot have a believe in them. In order for babies to believe in a god(s), they must first be taught about god(s). Consequently, all babies are atheist. Babies shiet themselves, and left to themselves, will turn around and eat it. Consequently, all babies are full of shiet...but, I digress.

If I didn't exist I wouldn't have to pay all the friggin bills I have! Nah, it's all one glorious computer simulation, all of it. See the "Ship in a Bottle" episode, "Star Trek: The Next Generation." (wiki) Now go prove it isn't so, and no circular arguments please.

Many of the posters here need to know where others are basing their beliefs, i.e. know who they read (philosophically) and follow.
Helps to make a lot of sense of these threads but YMMV...

And because choice and maturation is not involved...a moot or poop...point it is.
You are welcome.
AS, I did not fire up the grill and cook up the steak as you suggested. I went out and bought my wife a new car instead.
I'm felling like I need a trip to the range!!
