    If Atheism is a psychological position we don't need to seriously consider it

    Justification is not simply the reason to believe. It is whether one should believe. That is a moral or ethical question. I'll leave that to individuals to decide by their standards. In any case, though 'being atheist' certainly ought to carry some psychological impact and cause, however I...

    If Atheism is a psychological position we don't need to seriously consider it

    I said nothing about justification. I believe there are psychological reasons behind desire, regardless of the desire. Other reasons, as well. I'm not a theist.

    If Atheism is a psychological position we don't need to seriously consider it

    I am willing, and do accept that. There are no universal rules to how seriously one takes their theism either. Or any belief at all about any topic of any flavor, for that matter. You do realize I'm defending atheism, right?

    Do you think that God should communicate directly to everyone in the world?

    Actually, what we are debating is the nature of God, specifically how God should communicate. Which is why the Bible actually gets as much of a say as everyone else. That is, not to say much at all. However, given the weight of numerous shared opinions on the matter, it becomes a bit more than...

    If Atheism is a psychological position we don't need to seriously consider it

    Well it's a philosophical position not a psychological condition. Taking it seriously or not is psychological, of course. Each of us gets to decide how seriously we take atheism from inside or outside and subject to change of any type for any reason at any time.

    What is mind? What is matter?

    Tis often felt to this one here That pretty words do oft endear That clever play upon one's speech May pull past skepticism's reach That though afar a point may lay Poetic verse might win the day Confounding in it's silver line The shiny object steals your mind

    Where Do You Put Your Faith?

    I think this man is more interested in being righteous than right.

    Where Do You Put Your Faith?

    In myself, where it will do the most good.

    expectations of the so-called “christain”?

    Conviction justifies belief of all types. People believe what they believe for a variety of reasons. No reason exists in a vacuum, thus if one's belief hinges on a single thing it is not likely to endure new information regardless of what that single reason is. It's never the reason, therefore...

    Why is hell eternal?

    Hell is just Heaven for the depraved.

    I asked atheists for objections to God(s), and then addressed them according to Setianism.

    And that could be explained by technologically advanced aliens, instead? I don't follow.

    What is mind? What is matter?

    If any transcendence is occurring, I'd say its through communication and history. Little pieces of us leaving our mind, and living on despite our physical death. Our individual minds are dwarfed by the collective. If that isn't transcendental, then I don't know the definition.

    If you're omnipotent, omniscient & omnibenevolent, will you help to end the suffering in the world?

    I'll pick other answer. If I am omnipotent who are you to question me?

    The end of the world Christians cling to life?

    So you're wondering why Christians in a cheesy YouTube apocalypse fiction are acting contrary to sense. To appeal to their audience on a personal level, obviously.

    I asked atheists for objections to God(s), and then addressed them according to Setianism.

    Can you describe how Set 'appears to be a deity' ?

    Why is religion and belief such a big deal?

    Debate without emotion? I think I won't. Overdramatizing is too much by definition, so short of that...

    Appellate court rules, “In God we trust” is ok

    How about, "Trust is for Suckers"

    Absolute proof against the multiverse

    I disagree, the frequency of artificial universes would still be measurable even if there were infinite universes, thus anything that lessons the frequency of any particular phenomenon lessons its possibility from the hypothetical standpoint we are looking at it from. No, lets just assume that...

    What are the criterions for a god/gods?

    I think the only real quality a God needs is some sort of owness, responsibility, culpability or something similar over humanity. This can be direct or indirect, in part or in total, intentional or accidental, by origin or by maintenance. It is important to note that this is only my personal...

    Absolute proof against the multiverse

    Yes, but the issue is that you can't demonstrate the possibility of any of them, thus you cannot describe them as necessarily possible in this way. 1 & 2: These are both a given based on the OP, I've been sure to stress this. I do not actually agree that the universe is fine-tuned or that...
