It's almost like you're defying people to take you seriously. So you commented on videos you didn't watch? So you're just outright admitting to remarking on things you don't understand. Cool, noted. Yes. Yes they do. Off the top of my head, Ray Comfort and Kent Hovind make a career off this...

Why trust something that can't be empirically verified? Depends on the nature of the claim. If a family member tells me they got Taco Bell yesterday, then that's an easy claim to accept on its face. If that same person then tells me they have a colony of fairies living in their closet, I'd find...

This is wrong. Again. There is no worldview attached to atheism beyond the rejection of god claims. Atheism has no intrinsic relationship with science or empiricism either.

So I'll just reiterate the same follow-up question I asked a month ago and still haven't gotten a coherent answer to: Why have faith in things that can’t be observed or empirically verified? Historical documents/artifacts/etc are a form of evidence. If you have evidence then you don't need...

No it isn't. Atheism is the rejection of one and only one claim and in itself has nothing to say on a single other matter. You literally said atheism and satanism overlap and that atheists are involved in the "dark arts". Don't pretend to understand atheism. I'm still waiting for an answer to...

A claim which itself is based on that very faith, which still requires substantiation, which you've already admitted you can't provide. No it can't, and you've already admitted this. This is a claim which also requires substantiation. Also it's false. For example, the bible describes god as...

Indeed it wouldn't; it would be independently verifiable, empirical evidence - which is superior to faith if you want to show you actually know what you're talking about. Which you, evidently, can't do. There's no point in unpacking this - the people a religion produces are irrelevant to the...

So why have faith in things that can’t be observed or empirically verified? How can you determine if the object of your faith is legitimate? Uh, no. Atheism doesn’t necessarily entail any of that. You should take a second to think about this. Why would an atheist, who doesn’t believe in god...

Question 1: How do you distinguish between something "outside your reality" and something that just simply doesn't exist? How can you become convinced of such a thing or hope to convince anyone else of it when by your own admission it can't be observed?

lol why would it have to be ruthlessly? Can't you, with your unassailable wisdom, caps-locked FACTS and loads of ammo, gently rip into adversarial beliefs?

Oh man. They were accounted for. Maybe re-read the post. I was gonna say you ought to try being less overwhelmingly arrogant and presumptuous, but as the remainder of your post illustrates, that has no chance of happening. I guarantee you don't. I mean...the only thing I can think to say in...

Atheist here, who occasionally flirts with anti-theism. The positives associated with it (the various hopes and comforts and sense of family & community) are vastly outweighed by the negatives (the science denialism, bigotry, and general fanaticism) as far as I'm concerned. The positives can be...

I bought digital and tried this and it still worked.

Was coming in here just to mention this. Downloaded the update, but no Joker/Mementos. Verily I say unto thee, what the ****?

Please explain how you concluded what I said in any way implies advocating eschewing ethics. If people have stupid values, they don't deserve respect. You're not automatically owed respect simply by virtue of opening your mouth. The irony Which question(s) of yours did I not answer? On the...
