Optical Illusion: Both Atheism & Theism Are Equally Valid

Using this well-known optical illusion, I demonstrate that both atheism and theism are correct. It's a matter of seeing the world one way, and only flipping your worldview to see the other side. Atheism and theism are intertwined, mutually dependent on each other. To better expand your atheism, you need to believe in God. And in order to understand the reality of God, you need to embrace atheism. One needs to know God in His non-existence in order to fully know His existence. This is dualistic reality is understood mystically rather than rationalistically. To grasp the full picture of reality, one needs to embrace both atheism and theism equally.

Who the fuck are you... Schrödinger? Either God does or doesn't exist, but we make discernments based on evidence. So when someone claims there is a God, but fails to provide scientific evidence... YOU REJECT IT!

You would (I hope) apply the same level of skepticism for the existence of unicorns, fairies or the Loch Ness monster... So why not God? Why does religion get the free pass? Seems pretty hypocritical for me.

Also, your analogy sucks, sir... Please find a different one.

An argument from bad analogy mixed with verbal diarrhea, bad generalizations, a lack of understanding of subject matter.

"Flip your world view"? Seriously? Gee wiz! With my complete lack of understanding of theistic perspective, one almost has to wonder how I was ever one.

@AtheistKharm True words my friend, those are true words. You've got a good head on your shoulders.

@AtheistKharm What I am saying is that a natural science hypothesis that would not be falsifiable is a paradox. It can not be done. Any natural science hypothesis you make will always be falsifiable. So the whole requirement for falsifiability is nonsense. Even "there are no pink unicorns" is logically falsifiable.

[AtheistKharm]

@WearTheWhiteRobe What you are saying comes across as incoherent when you make statements like: "Nothing can be both true and falsifiable at the same time." and "You can not come up with any claim that would not be logically falsifiable." Maybe you can elaborate on this for me in a private message where there are no character limits.

[WearTheWhiteRobe]

@AtheistKharm Falsifiability is a hoax. It does not mean anything reasonable. Everything is falsifiable except truth itself. Even "white swans do exist" is logically falsifiable.

You can not come up with any claim that would not be logically falsifiable.

@TheAnimeAtheist Thanks for the compliment and thanks for pointing out the mistake. I have been wrong about nearly everything in my life before. So I really value the ability to put bias aside, understand the argument someone is making, and admit that I'm wrong. This virtue should have a name and should be exalted to the level that faith enjoys. Too bad we live in a world where it is so hard to change someones mind.

@AtheistKharm And for you to admit your mistake, revise your statement and make clear what you meant in a kind, clear, and proactive manner you sir exemplify what it is to be a true rational. 300 points for griffindor!

[AtheistKharm]

@TheAnimeAtheist You're right, I made a mistake saying "theism and atheism is a true dichotomy." Theism and atheism have to do with belief. Whether God(s) exist or not is a true dichotomy and this was the point I was trying to make. When he says "this is reality right here, god exist and god does not exist." That is what I'm trying to address -- that it is logically impossible for both of those to be true.

[AtheistKharm]

@WearTheWhiteRobe I see no paradox here. Do you understand what falsifiable means? It means that something can be shown to be false. I'm a male, this is falsifiable, but it is true. You could find evidence to find that I'm a female meaning that my statement "i'm a male" is false. This contradicts what you said, "if something is true, it is then known to be not falsifiable." Either you don't have a good grasp on logic or you don't understand what falsifiable means.
