Items for most people:
nature,
humankind,
angels,
God.
God is needed for us to know how nature came to be.
Items for atheists:
nature.
They do not know how nature came to be, because they have neither God
nor humankind. Humankind does not exist, because it is part of nature.
1. Gnostic Atheist says: "I think, there is no God (because there is no proof of God)."
2. Agnostic Atheist says: "I do not believe, that there is God."
The gnostic atheist does declare Lord nonexistent,
but without a proof of the major claim of atheism.

Here are a few statements I've heard basically verbatim from Christian apologists, clustered in groups to show the tensions in their reasoning that I've noticed. If it's not your particular version of your faith, that's fine and I don't want to strawman anyone, but I have heard all of these from...
In the world, theologians counted many thousands of gods. In what sense do "gnostic atheists" say there is no God?
Common opinion: "To be an atheist, it is enough to have a lack of belief in just one of the gods. If you do not believe in 3505 gods, and the other does not believe in 3506 gods...
Thesis: correct interpretation of the Holy Bible needs the correct interpreter.
Proof: The Bible does not interpret itself. Each fact needs interpretation. Bible is one huge fact. For example, there is written in Bible, that God inflicts unimaginable evil on sinners. No! God is not the source...
At its core, this topic boils down what is meant by "evidence."
I define evidence as "Anything that lets us reliably differentiate between ideas that are merely imaginary, and ideas that accurately describe reality."
So, if you propose some method, framework, or argument as evidence, but that...
I found this interesting.
"The ‘new atheism’ is the name given to contemporary atheism as spear-headed by the work of Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett.
The new atheism has twelve characteristics that define its nature:

Many religions worships there own God(s) and deny the existence of other Gods. However, miracles happen to people of many different faiths. From this we can conclude that either:
People of your faith are telling the truth and everyone else is mislead or lying about miracles

Hi, I am new here. My name Glenda. I believe that there is a supreme being. I don’t have any religious beliefs at all. I can separate my belief in a supreme being from my disbelief in all religions of this earth because, I believe that the supreme being has no contact with us humans, on this...
Obviously the quote "If God does not exist, He must be invented." was small part of a book or a paper.
What was the nearby part of the paper? Was it:
"If God does not exist, He must be invented. But He does not exist, He is invented."
Or was it:
"If God does not exist, He must be invented. But...
GENIUS is a chilling movie based on the life and tragic murder of John Lennon. It’s chilling because it reveals what people will do for money. There are ordinary people out there who would kill you. All they need is the right amount of money and the belief that they won’t get caught.
"Genius"...

carry no information of what is in your possession.

To my often wrong opinion,
A nonexistent god is available as an opportunity to choose the idea of a supreme deity. Therefore, atheists did not offer any alternative to Christianity.
Atheism is still the idea of a supreme deity. The idea to choose from.
Conscious thoughts: "Atheists do not...
How did Russell equate his crazy teapot to God? There is no way to compare: God is everywhere, but the teapot is in one place.
Everybody knows, that it is just a crazy joke of atheists:
1. Red invisible dragon in the garage,
2. Russell's Teapot,
3. Pink Unicorn, etc.
The problem with these is...

I'm going to use this forum as the start of the debate.
This forum has potentially endless sides and points of views to where its more like a circle of loud noise and repeated whirlpool of questioning and answering. Is anyone actually getting closer to their god(s) through this? I wonder how...
Mod: "No-one on this forum takes you seriously anymore."

In the world without angels,
The destruction in near
(song "Moment of Peace", Gregorian).
There are people exactly like angels in Theism.
Hence, atheism denies the existence of extremely good people, extraordinary good people. In atheism, there is a grey, indistinguishable mob olnly.
FACTS:
According to Wikipedia, there are many atheists in
1. church of satan of USA,
2. church of Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Antichrist will not demand from atheists to become theists, it looks like.
Therefore, there are atheists even in hell.
Good Vs. Evil,
Truth Vs. Lie,
are religious terms.
Thus, an atheist has become free from these old traditional ways of thinking.
Atheist: "there are very Good atheists."
So, now we all agree, that there is Absolute Evil and Absolute Good in this world?
Atheist: "No, we don't."
So, there is...
