It's a very convenient debate strategy to say you have nothing to defend, while reserving the right to complain about theists.

Atheism involves the claim that inanimate matter and energy is all that exists. Otherwise, you wouldn't be atheist.

That worldview is physical materialism.

That's a philosophical claim, a philosophical worldview that requires a certain amount of belief and faith.

I can't help it that you don't understand logic or atheism. God is YOUR claim, not mine. Ergo I have NOTHING to defend. Not one thing.

YOU DO.

You think God exists: good for you. You can't provide sufficient evidence to convince me. That's a "you thing" not a "me thing".

And I think it's so sad you don't understand this simple concept. Yet here you are, armed with Google AI, so you think you're smart.

You admitted to being a strict physical materialist. That is a a philosophical truth claim and a belief system that is at the heart of genuine atheism.

I'm fine as a strict physical materialist. In fact the only way you aren't is if you just make stuff up and imagine it. You only have the material to deal with.

^^ The reason you have to use weasel words like "I'm fine" with physical materialism is because you know it's a belief system that is potentially on shaky ground. You're inclination is to run away 🏃‍♂️ from just plainly admitting belief in physical materialism because it is a belief system that might be on shaky ground.

I have no claim. You are the one claiming God. It is up to you.

Sorry logic defeats you so easily.

Mason, none of us are chosen. God wants you to want to come to his side. You have no more ability to translate scripture than the rest of us. We all share in the holy spirit in life. God still takes care of those who don't believe.

You must have an intuition that there are real doubts about physical materialism as a belief system.

Atheism is just like all other religions. It goes on the faith they have that God doesn't exist. Just like all faiths, the faithful have no proof either way. Truthfully, I don't care if some weirdo wants to worship a toaster, as long as doing so does no harm.

That is not atheism. That is the Church of No God, a fundamentalist style religion.

Apparently they think Epstein had giant file cabinets of stuff or something, never mind they don't know what there is to see. We do know Biden wouldn't release them, and Hillary and Obama will have been given copies of them by their FBI guys, so we know for a fact there was a lot more bad about Democrats and nothing about Trump in them or we would have heard all about it years ago. That makes these morons look really stupid and demanding to cut their own throats, lol. Epstein was an informant all through Obama's time in office, and that sleazebag would have leaking everything he knew if there was a buck in it for him. Certainly his staff would have.

A factual point that the militant atheists refuse to admit.

It's even funnier when most militant atheists refuse to admit they are "when you're dead, you're dead" atheists.

OTOH, it's fun to discuss morals with them. Specifically, their belief that all morals are relative. :)
