Don't deny the existence of Santa. I don't have a clue why so many people hate him and turn their backs on him. They will be sorry one day, but it will be too late.

we should round up all those santaless unbelievers and torch them.

you got a torch handy?

but I really dont think gemma will take you up on this one kally.

Your 4 options clearly show that you haven`t understood anything we`ve said to you since you started posting here.

Gemma:

You have forgotten the obvious choices in your poll:

5. Utter lack of evidence for anything supernatural.

6. The Bible is too confusing and contradictory to be anything other than mythology.

Your first 4 arguments are lame in comparison to these last 2. I gotta agree with Fenton, haven't you learned anything about us here yet?

I'm not voiting unless you fix the poll.

#5) Utter lack of evidence and rational necessity of belief

wade-w · 02-02-2003, 04:09 PM

How about all of the above, and then some others you haven't listed?

Gemma,

An athiest is not convinced about athiesm. S/he is unconvinced about theism. The premise of your poll is flawed

schu · 02-02-2003, 05:58 PM

You didn't list the simplest and most convincing one of all: No evidence, no belief.

Hi Gemma, just one question,

Which god? Don't forget there are thousands of gods for us not to believe in.

Ok, two questions

How many of the thousands of gods in the history books do you believe in? Just the one?, surely not!!

View Poll Results: What argument the most convincing of atheism?
The problem of pain -- how can an all-knowing God allow suffering?	2	4.55%
We don't need a god -- beings are not to be postulated unless they are inescapable	9	20.45%
The meaningless of the term "God" -- which denotes an objectively invalidated entity, like "Santa" or "unicorn"	27	61.36%
The negative consequences of belief -- the illusion of God robs us of human diginity, etc.	6	13.64%
Voters: 44. You may not vote on this poll
