Do you believe in God? Why/Why not?

To the first quote: Atheism in the widest (and seldomly used) sense, but that isnt the position the atheists participating in this debate are representing, or is it? You want it to be looked at as the natural, unaltered, untainted state of mind, therefore superior to any kind of god-belief. That is why wrote: everything is "indoctrinated", and this does include your kind of atheism.

That is the position I am taking as an Atheist... In this thread.

My position is not indoctrinated, all I ask for is evidence for Theists to backup their claims, that is it, that is rational, that is logical.

Nevertheless, even in the widest sence i dont deem Atheism the same as a "blank slate".

I think you are making it out to be something it's not.
Atheism isn't a belief or disbelief in God, it is the default position.

Secondly: You completely missed the point. Exclude in the sense of having eliminated the possibility of existence of "divine power". Followed by an example of how incapable we actually still are... not being to figure out if there is life on the other side of Milkyway... or the moon Europa...

None of which results in proving/disproving God exists.

Just because there is/isn't life on another planet doesn't mean that life on THIS planet was created by your God, you need to judge each claim on it's own basis.

 

Hum. VG Users have the tendency to completely disregard what is written and respond to something the other side has never said. Strange, strange indeed. And you claim not being indoctrinated. ^^

 

Who is my god? Do you know? I dont think you even know the vague idea i drifft to.

 

Lets go back a little. Some user wrote: "no, i dont believe, because science"

 

Einstein was jewish and he was a strong believer.

 

Now i would like you to explain to me why one should expell the other from the human mind. I hope i dont have to point out that this isnt about flat earth 4000 years old and the world on the back of a giant turtle.
