......annnnnnnnnd queue the inevitable atheism/theism argument in the comments section

[KamasutraButterfly]

@bathamsbottom Atheists are not "set in their beliefs". Atheism means "without belief in a god", it is NOT a positive claim that there is no god. You clearly haven't spoken to many atheists, I suggest you do, and then ask them about what they do and do not believe. I'm an atheist myself and I'm perfectly willing to change my mind if evidence for a god were presented, do you claim that I'm somehow lying to myself when I'm saying that?! An atheist can be just as open to possibilities as anyone

@gangster301 the middleground is not knowing what's going on, and the thinking that since we can't prove it either way at this point why even try to guess?. that's where i am. why would there not be a middleground??

@Everyone who is arguing

No one is listening, you arguments will mean absolutely nothing here in youtube, actually get out there if you ACTUALLY give a fuck.

@pedarikarhu My point was I have never met or seen a positive atheist. The closest to a positive atheist I have seen have only dismissed specific Gods, such as one who is both good and tortures people forever for finite crimes.

[pedarikarhu]

@bradkey98765 Majority of atheists are indeed negative atheists, you have only met the fundamentalist youtube atheists.

[bradkey98765]

@MrBenjamin199 I’ve never seen an atheist who holds the position you described, only atheists who dismiss specific gods as impossible.

Though I have seen many gnostic theists who claim to know their God exists with 100% certainty, which is also absurd.

[bradkey98765]

@skegpit Self-contradictory claims are impossible.

Not wanting to get into a massive theological argument, this is a hilarious sketch.

[VoidDestriant]

@MrBenjamin199 "what you like"? So I have to belive in God, but it doesn't matter that it's a being, or a force? Also, specify "higher". Higher than what? Than the 'laws' of nature? We don't even know half of those 'laws', how would we know that there is something beyond them? One could say "by faith", but at one point faith always becames like: "you can say whatever you want, I read something in a stupid old book, and that's the truth".

Deism usually harmless, but also pointless.

People who believe in god are the closed minded ones. They just believe a story that they have had passed down to them from a time where a god probably was the best scientific guess at how the world was made and they refuse the change. Atheists are prepared to believe anything as long as there is some form of logical evidence for it.

[skegpit]

@MrBenjamin199 No, rational thought precludes the possibility of the impossible.
