but the way they handle theism is. they both request proof of existence, but have no proof of non-existence themselves. you said you needed proof, you are given millenia of recited tales and physical recordings. you say it's not enough and dismiss it. whether you are anti-theist or atheist (and i don't know if you're even sure which you are by your response to religion as an "unfalsifiable hypothesis" was it?), there is never going to be enough proof to satisfy you.

I don't want you to feel like I'm smart or an asshole. From my point of view I had to inform myself. Watch this real quick.

so what is your point? all i saw was an atheist (i only watched first 2 mins; tl-dw) beating up an uneducated Christian. i saw nothing else. it's from a morning infomercial-styled shows who screen callers and only picks the ones they want to use to prove a point. beside, this deviates from [i]our[/i] conversation and does nothing to further your point. it's just a video of an educated person talking down to an uneducated person. i would also go as far as to say based on the atheists' defensive posturing and aggressive conversation tactics (he interrupted the caller and played to his audience by quickly and aggressively funneling his open-ended questions down to "yes or no"), that they may border more on anti-theism than atheism. so the question becomes, do you know which one you really are?

Anti-theism.

so now that we have figured out your religious alignment, we could continue our dialogue. i do belive, however, that it would be in vain. i am glad to have helped you learn something about yourself today though. God bless.

You can't leave, your book tells you that you have to convert me or kill me. Sun fun DUNN!
