    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    Blimey, it’s the old inferiority complex showing through again. I think you know what I meant by “careful selection”. You chose the definition that was at the very bottom of the list. Why? It was because the most popular definition, at #1 wouldn’t have suited your argument. How can prayer...

    My atheism

    I find that altogether to be a curious argument. I’m not sure what you mean by a “real atheist”, and I’m also getting a sense that you object to God’s supposed existence being questioned? You imply the existence of pseudo atheists who are not actually atheists but agnostic but then you...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    Now come on, the above is nothing more than a complaining diatribe, no argument, or evidence. Please state where I have “split hairs” and “devised unrelated analogies”? It seems to me that instead of defending the argument you seem more inclined to disparage atheists. I’ll give you my...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    Fair enough, then please back up those sweeping assertions with evidence. The arrogant claim was that you said you could convince “any reasonable and impartial man” that it is more likely than not that God exists. That is a supremely patronising statement, i.e. condescending and haughty, and...

    My atheism

    Let me put it this way, there is no certain knowledge as some are wont to imply. However I think it fair to say no gods are apparent in general experience, and there is no argument that I'm aware of that conclusively demonstrates that a God must exist (to include the modal ontological argument)...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    Your careful selection of a definition, for which you haven’t supplied a source, could be equally applied to my sport of motorcycle racing, or golf, or any hobby or interest carried on with an intensity or unbridled enthusiasm. I don’t fall on my me knees to pray for more BHP and I don’t...

    My atheism

    Yep! I agree. My argument exactly.

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    Looking back at your OP there are some very arrogant assumptions and a rather patronising tone. They are that you claim you could “satisfy the mind” of any reasonable and impartial man to the existence of God than not; that’s a very patronising assumption. Then there is accusation that...

    My atheism

    My argument is that there is no conclusive reason to believe “God exists” is true. Does that mean the obverse is true: “There is no God”? No! But nevertheless, neither statement being non-contradictory does mean I am justified in stating that we can know from experience and the examination...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    With respect I think you’ve made a very poor argument for science being a religion. And there is no necessary connection between atheism and science, which is what I believe you want to imply, since there are some very highly esteemed theist scientists. So if what you say is true then we would...

    There is more then enough evidence to prove God exists.

    I'm slightly baffled by this, because it is the position most atheists take! It is logically possible for there to be a God, 10,000 gods, or for the moon to be made of green cheese. But I cannot disprove any of things and therefore "God exists" is on a par with "There is no God", for neither...

    My atheism

    The position I take is that I see no reason to believe in gods. I most certainly am not agnostic, a term I reject, since that implies that there might be gods, i.e. that we simply cannot know, while I'm saying that we can know from experience and from the logical examination of propositions...

    My atheism

    When I look back on my past I realise that I never believed or disbelieved in God. The infant and primary schools that I attended in the UK were both Church of England affiliated, and in the case of the latter I remember a vicar speaking at morning assembly every Wednesday. And of course every...
