Why don't atheists realize how illogical they are?

Question

It is one thing to be agnostic and be unsure, but to be so confident that God doesn't exist? It's totally illogical.

All you gotta do is prove us wrong!! How hard is that if god actually exists? I hear you people all the time saying that you prayed for something and all of a sudden, you got it!! Have your sky daddy show up and whip a quick miracle on us. Have him get me a million dollars, maybe 2. I'm not greedy but I'm SICK AND TIRED of being poor!!! If he whips a billion or two on me, I'll even VERY HAPPILY walk around giving some of it to other poor people to help them!! "You, in the cardboard box. Here's $300,000, go buy yourself a house!" And, I'm ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS about that!!! I WISH I could hand out money to those that REALLY need it!!!
The lottery's up to a billion dollars, have him drop the winning numbers on me! The more money I've got, the more I can start giving away!!
As for being illogical... do you know what "facts" are? How about, "physical proof"? So far, I've seen NONE that it actually exists and all you people have ever given me were bullshit excuses!! The kind you tell little kids and expect them to simply believe it without questioning. I want cold, hard proof!!

Organized religion shifted the world away from being in touch with the spirit realm. It is the sole cause of atheism.

In order to deny God's existence, you first have to define god as something ridiculous. Who came up with the ridiculous definition of god? ㅤ

Illogical.

You cannot prove his existence nor provide even the tiniest piece of evidence to support it.

The argument science doesn't know everything so it must be God diminishes with each discovery. It's been diminishing for millennia.

True we cannot disprove his existence but neither can we disprove flying purple space hippos. The inability to disprove does not prove. It is perfectly logical to dismiss a notion that has failed to provide any evidence over thousands of years.

Belief has nothing to do with logic. This is similar to saying love has something to do with logic. Neither do.

People believe despite all the logic that exists. There aren't even scientific facts to support God's existence. There is only belief and hope.

For some, this is enough. For others it isn't. Therefore there are atheists.

Arrogance.

If you buy too much into your own arrogance that your reasoning is infallible (as many atheists do). Then after a while you'll leave yourself closed off to things that you can't see, taste, touch, or measure. God asks that we ask for him to come into our lives and rule over our hearts. I understand because I was once that proud guy. Too proud to bend a knee to God, too proud to admit that I wasn't in control of my own life. And right there is the problem. Atheists think to admit that God exists means they lose that. God said he wants to rule over our hearts, not rule our lives. You still get free will, you still get to choose. God just hopes you choose him. Because he does know what's best. This inability to bend a knee to demand that God show himself is man's ultimate vanity.

I don't generally like debating atheists. Not because I find them logical or illogical. But because I tire them out. They get angry not because I won't listen to every argument they can make. But simply because they cannot move me off my faith. After all typically that is their whole premise. They're not trying to learn or understand anything. They're too arrogant.

Most estimates say there have been about 10 000 religions.

All of them claiming they had the answer and their version of divinity, a tree, a rock, another world, an alien lifeform like Yahweh and so on is the one.

It is frankly an insane claim to make that any of these religions are right. Atheists typically do not refuse on principle but rather refuse absent evidence. Much like how you probably do not believe in leprechauns but would if they were suddenly proven real. It is not a rebuttal of reality but a demand for proof. Any tangible proof.

In most practical aspects and use cases agnosticism and atheism is the same. One is just more polite.

If you would like to point out why atheism is illogical I would find that interesting.

i assume you mean atheism is the statement "there is no god" which is somewhat illogical though at least rational cause there's no conflicting evidence found for that position. it can't be known to be true tho so i agree it is somewhat illogical. but atheism doesn't mean "there is no god". it means "without god". so basically it's not the claim that there isn't a god. it's the statement that one isn't convinced that there is a god and considering the lack of evidence for a god, that's a highly logical position. Especially compared with the delusional thinking that there is a god without any evidence for god.

Considering that you don't even know what atheism means, I find your statement amusing.

Atheism isn't the certainty that God doesn't exist; it's the lack of belief in a God. Big difference. We're not "confident that God doesn't exist." We just don't care, because we don't believe in God.

Conversely, the literal definition of faith is "strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof." Believing in something, without proof, is what's illogical, not atheism.

Can't tell if a troll post or not, but the same reason anyone can say "I'm right and you're wrong" about a topic that has no facts for or against any claim. What that reason is, I don't know. They lack logic? The are desperate? Going against logic when it's not because of immediate emotions that one fails to control makes no sense to me either.

boundless · Answer

You have to be mentally retarded to be an atheist. The term means "to move away from" (a-) "a belief in the existence of at least God" (theism). So that means in order to be an atheist, you have to believe in God, but reject him and lie to yourself that you do not believe in the God you believe in. It's a contradiction within itself.

Do you believe the Easter Bunny exists? Or are you agnostic about the Easter Bunny? That's how stupid your "God" and your religion is to some of us.

Maybe they don't believe that G0d doesn't exist. Maybe they are afraid He does exist and believe  against  G0d.

Not believing in something that has zero evidence that it is exist is actually very logical by definition. Cope harder

Religious people say they believe in God because something cannot come from nothing. You religious guys constantly say something cannot come from nothing. I have a question for you now.

Who or what created God then?

Ariesman81 · Answer

Atheism at it's root is solipsism. At it's worst, narcissism. To suggest that there was no ultimate creator is simply delusion, naivety or rebellion.

What is illogical is believing in a god that there is literally no evidence even exists.
