RE: "Irrationalism in atheism" - A Response To VyckRo

I'm posting this response to comment on the recent LoR episode. The big problem with this week's episode, I feel, was with the dropping/intermittent connection, coupled with VyckRo's broken english, the panelists went on discussing points which didn't address VyckRo's point directly enough. I applaud Andromedas and Aron for some specific arguments, and Aron's attempt to pose a yes or no question. Overall, situations like this could probably be avoided with a little more moderator intervention, even if it seems unnecessary, because sometimes it may not be.

I also just offer my own little response to VyckRo

What does communism have to do with atheism, exactly? A communist model is not necessarily an atheist one. The reverse is obviously true. Hell, a communist model could be altered to be a primarily Christian, democratic one, and still qualify as communist.

Similarly, a capitalist model does not need to be democratic. There are

authoritarian capitalist countries in the world (Iran, for example). Just a little tidbit.

@VyckRo to be anti-atheist is to be anti-lacking theistic belief. Which is to say you are for theistic belief. Them's the rules. Logic is word math. If you multiply a negative by a negative, you get a positive. If you use two "no's" in a sentence, it becomes a positive claim, not a negative claim.

And like I said, you referenced Psalms 27 regarding what god brought to the table. So don't tell me you aren't pushing a particular brand of "non-atheism."

@VyckRo How about the question?Does a popular unverifiable belief=unverifiable belief in logical strength? or another way, does popularity add any logical strength. On your other points, by criticizes atheistic beliefs you are at least aiding those who seek to convert non-believers. And as many have said; if you take the position that something (ANYTHING) exists the onus is on the claim maker.

@ThinkAbout1t

The vid that autoplays on my channel attack the claims made by some atheist ( not necessarily all atheists). Many atheists do not want to admit that Lenin and Stalin were atheists, and yes that they kill priests and bishops hoping to create an atheist society ( so in the name of their atheism, not necessarily your atheism)

But there are atheists who deny that.

@MsMrNoface

The problem is that ThinkAbout1t, unfortunately lives in a tiny little box, box which is called "western christianity".

His mind is unable to admit, that there are christians who do not wish to convert anyone. He is obsessed with the argument, that I am obliged to prove something to someone.

I am not....

I am an anti-communist and anti-atheist and that is all

[MsMrNoface]

I wonder if you could get VyckRo to admit a popular unverifiable belief is logically of the same strength as as any other unverifiable belief. Then I suppose we could move onto the bible as support, as he seemed to want to do this without answering that question.
