Atheism is just as much blind faith as any of the other religions. There's no way to disprove god or gods, any more than there's a way to prove their existence. Anyone who claims they KNOW the truth 100% is deluded. We won't know until we die, and if the atheists are right, even then we won't know because we'll be gone.

It's a faith allright,but not nearly as blind as religions. When no evidence is avaliable,doubting is much more reasonable that believing. And besides,this is not about God(s),but about religion. God can exist even if nobody believes in him. But religion is sentenced to perish if God is not real. All religion did was cause wars and bloodshed,limit human evolution(especially the Catholic church in Medieval times AKA Inquisition),and divide people for the "divide and conquer" tactics(Note:Government/state is also a religion,and probably the most destructive,limiting and war-causing out of them all) etc,etc. And religions that need to fear-monger children from a young age by telling them they'll go to hell for not believing in order go actively get members will especially perish.

Religion also largely led to the establishment of hospitals and the advancement of medical care up until the last century, provided a means for communities to take care of those in need, and brought communities together at least once a week for a peaceful gathering. For example, did you know that even at the height of the american civil war, General Sherman had his cavalry dress up their horses with antlers to look like reindeer, and delivered supplies and food to needy families in the state. Religion has caused harm for sure but to say it's done no good is blind. I'm not even sure I could honestly say that I think it's done more harm than good in the grand scheme of history. Religion in many instances actually led to fewer wartime atrocities between nations of the same religion, and often helped foster peace.

About the peace gatherings and fosterings,sure,religions unite,but only the people of the same religion. Others are discarded and seperated from. This is not exclusive to religions only,of course. Any group(political party,nations,ideology followers,even fandoms) unite the members of the group while seperating them from other groups. And this,naturally,causes all sorts of conflicts,from simple prejudices and hatreds to warfare.

As for the establishments of hospitals and medical advancemets, you would be correct. These is a small group like that in a vliiage where I live called "??????" (serbian for "Joy") which gives stuff like food and clothing to the poor,and that is probably the smallest of them all. Still,organisations like that,no matter how big they are and how hard they try,can make the bloodshed and crimes against human Consciousness and Mother Nature disappear(mostly because they're still happening as we speak). I aprecciate the effort,but if your driving force is a fantasy,you're doing it for a wrong reason.

k, prove it.

Here's proof.. imgflip.com/i/2ryqfq

No clickbaitmeme, laddie.

But you can always go die and send me a postcard.

"Atheism is just as much blind faith as any of the other religions"-OhWell

Religion runs off the idea of faith, but you're using the religious definition of faith to replace the colloquial definition of it, yet that definition is the following "Complete trust or confidence in someone or something" clearly not the same thing. As for the second part of your comment, I would like to point that because religious people are saying that god is real they need to provide sufficient evidence for it because they have the burden of proof for making the claim that god is real. Now your last part is just completely ignorant of how we collect information.

Athiests do not have complete trust or confidence that there is no god or gods? And no, the fact of the matter is that once we are dead, if athiests are correct and there is no afterlife, we will NEVER know. To claim otherwise is nothing but blind arrogance. I find it funny that you want to hold others to a burden of proof but think you yourself are exempt. You claim something with 100% certainty but it's the OTHER people that need to prove it.

"Athiests do not have complete trust or confidence that there is no god or gods?" Atheists are atheists because of the fact that the religious are making a claim without evidence, but that defies basic logic. The next part of your comment is a argument from personal incredulity because you don't personally understand how data is collected or how the burden of proof works, so you think it's incorrect.

Your claim lacks evidence as well, sorry to break it to you. And no, you CANNOT collect data when you are incapable of putting yourself into that situation. That you think otherwise shows you're mentally incapable of rational thought. Or maybe you can explain to me how you can disprove an afterlife, since you think I don't understand data collection.

1: You can't provide evidence when you don't make a claim for one.

"And no, you CANNOT collect data when you are incapable of putting yourself into that situation."-OhWell

We have yet to put a man on Mars, but we still know quite a lot about that planet, so yes you can. You don't need to be in a situation to know how it works. Btw, you still seem pissed over that other thread by the OP. :D

If there is a dispute, the burden of proof falls onto the challenger of the status quo from the perspective of any given social narrative. If there is no agreeable and adequate proof of evidence to support a claim, the claim is considered an argument from ignorance.

We've observed mars, landed on it with robots, and explored it from both the surface and space. When was the last time we sent a probe past death, hm?

And no, you're just being stupid so I'm calling you out as such. Trolling by ancap morons not really worth any attention. :)

"If there is a dispute, the burden of proof falls onto the challenger of the status quo from the perspective of any given social narrative. If there is no agreeable and adequate proof of evidence to support a claim, the claim is considered an argument from ignorance." A person making claim is expected to provide evidence for it, but an argument from ignorance is when you don't know one thing and you replace it with something else because of that. It's very like what religious people do with god.

"We've observed mars, landed on it with robots, and explored it from both the surface and space. When was the last time we sent a probe past death, hm?"

You don't need to send anything to prove what we don't know. You don't know if in a hundred years we'll be able to get visions of life after death, so this biased approach is the wrong way of looking at it because you haven't provided any proof for it.

"And no, you're just being stupid so I'm calling you out as such. Trolling by ancap morons not really worth any attention." It's good to see that I triggered you so hard that you felt the need to write this comment twice.

"OhWell

Just now. And now. And now. And.....

Countless vehicles rendered unto the depths of death for over 4 billion years.

Number of postcards sent back?

ZERO.

depends on your views of the world

I remember a sad story when there was a priest at the church everyone like the priest. But he always felt lonely despite being next to lots of people he always felt off and everyone knew it. One day people started saying "Father why are you sad?" and he merely said, "I'm not sad just thinking." The priest realized that people thought he was lonely and had a sermon to prove he wasn't and he successfully did. He later went back to his old family home by the shelters he saw his father's spirit who told him "Son find a woman to keep the legacy you're the only one left." and again the priest just made another argument that he didn't need that.

But to be honest you really don't want to listen to this story

That is a sad story and I'm not trying to play it down, but it just looks like there's a straw from the coffee cup to the priest's neck

cursed
