Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – easy answers aren’t always correct

MJ, a christian young woman who has appeared here before, tries to claim how her god is the easy answer. That shows just how easy answers aren’t always correct answers.

Her post boils down to: “When you make a claim as big as “God doesn’t exist,” then logically, you must start explaining other aspects of reality, such as “How did the universe get here? Why is morality a thing?” One major claim about reality must lead to other major claims about reality.”

Per the bible, there is no free will. Both Paul and Jesus state this when they claim that this god has already chosen who it will allow to accept it and then it will damn the rest for no choice of their own. Add that to the claims of how this god mind controls people and interferes in human actions and free will is dead.

Atheism is a single conclusion to a single topic: do gods exist. Christians are atheists just like we are, they consider a god and then conclude whether or not it exists.

So your false claims that it isn’t fail. You don’t find you need to “go down a rabbit hole” so why would I need to? I can address other questions based on my worldview, which is largely epicurean but I don’t need to use my atheism. How did the universe get here? Science has evidence that something can come from nothing. Why are there morals? Because they help humans interact.

Since you can’t show your god or any gods exist, atheism is better than belief in baseless nonsense that makes promises and fails those promises. Curious how christians themselves can’t agree on what morals their god wants. Each makes up what they want and claims a god agrees with them and only them. An easy answer isn’t the correct one, and that’s where christians and other theists fail miserably.

  1. It turns out that scientists keep asking questions, and keep making their theories better (or just confirming). For example, they aren’t so sure that everything came from nothing. In fact, some scientists are interested in the idea that there was something, but it is impossible to know what (for now).

    One answer is the singularity of a black hole. Which is pretty crazy cool, as black holes swallow up all info…or do they? Stay tuned to SCIENCE!

    Here’s the reality: actual reality is too much for too many people. So they need something comforting to believe, so that they can face death. Maybe if we humans weren’t so standoffish to those who need help, we could feel that we are doing what we must…by loving our fellow man. And we don’t need a god to do so.

  2. When I make a claim, I agree that I must show my work if I expect anyone else to agree. I cannot prove anything does or does not exist, especially outside of natural reality where most gods seem to reside these days. So, I make no such claim as “there is not a god.”

    When a claim is made that anything exists outside of nature, certainly any god, especially, the Abrahamic or Christian God, if I am to agree with that claim, I “logically” can demand not only evidence of the God, but “then logically” major and significant evidence for all of it. Not just the god, but the whole claim.

    I am not bound to explain anything. The universe, for me, as something, has always existed. That’s not my claim, it is what I suspect. But I am open to hearing other hypotheses. Nothing, especially the Universe, came from nothing. I am absolutely not bound to explain to anyone anything about “reality.” But that information and associated theories are readily available from people much more qualified to talk about them than I.

    I am atheist. I do not believe any god or any other supernatural being or deity exists. That is indeed the extent of “atheism” as far as I know. That is also why I eschew the term “atheism” as often and as much as I can. I looked at the blog, did a face palm, then I wrote this response.
