Why are you atheists so bent out of shape over a “Being” that to you doesn’t exist?
If our God is fictional, why are you and your atheist buds treating Him as real? You’re giving lots of time and attention to malign our very real sovereign God, who to you doesn’t even exist.
How do these untrue beliefs affect the actions of the believers in this world and lead to sub-optimal outcomes?
Prove they’re untrue. Where’s your evidence?
How about you prove vampires, werewolves, leprechauns, unicorns, pegasi, orcs, trolls, and 12 headed hydra's don't exist?
By your standard, you MUST believe all of these exist until you can PROVE they don't.
This is why in logic, the burden of proof belongs to the party making the positive claim.
You claim some supernatural being exists. Define it, and lets see what you have for evidence.
Evidence doesn’t make it self-evident. Evidence depends upon interpretation and predisposition of evidence. We have predisposed dispositions that enable us to trust our cognitive abilities as sources of evidence.
Parroting “not enough evidence” is a sham.
You have been given plenty of evidence from the world God created. The world reflects the glory of God. Because of your smug intellectual arrogance, you have chosen to morally suppress that evidence.
“The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them. For since the creation of the world, His invisible attributes are CLEARLY seen, being understood by the things that are made, even this eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.” Romans 1:18-20
Scripture says there are no real atheists, but atheists say there is no real God.
Nobody questions the existence of the Sun, Moon, Planets, trees, houses, rivers, lakes, etc, etc, because there is ample evidence for these things.
Our cognitive abilities are being constantly tested against the external objective world....whether you believe or do not believe that there is a tree in your path won't change the fact of the existence of the tree.....you can believe that you can walk through the tree, or that its not there, but you'll come up hard against it regardless of your belief.
The same cannot be said for the gods. If they exist, they hide their reality so well that it's exactly like they don't exist.
