Where can I find atheist minded communities in New York City?

Sir, to admit "there is no God" is too factually admit there is a God. One can NOT, NAUGHT what is Not. If there was no God then there would be no atheists. You, as a Categorical expression implodes unless there is actually the God that you say IS Not...

This is factually inaccurate. How about you actually try talking to an atheist about what they believe instead of telling them what you think they believe because your preacher told you something

Prove it. I don’t need your comment without proof. It’s worthless. It is a necessary condition and my 7th graders can figure it out. One can not be against Something unless you acknowledge something exists. SIMPLE reason. Not complicated. Sorry you can’t think critically but 7th graders can get the obvious.

I don't want to be rude, but the implications of this seem a bit funny to me. If I said that there are no unicorns, would I be admitting the existence of unicorns? You're basically saying that any entity is logically existent once it's referred to in a sentence, which seems weird.

Let’s start Simple: how did we get here given we can not self-conceive, Self-start, self-generate, or self-create. Reasonable to the fool even.
And obvious 🙄 demands…if there was ever Nothing then there would be Nothing still as Something can not come from Nothing. So since you and I are here (Something) then there has to have always been Something.
Unless you believe that we can self-conceive, create, generate etc then please tell me how we (Man/Woman) got here?

That seems like an entirely different argument though. Now you're moving to a first cause argument, and if we play around with definitions, I'd accept that some "force" or "power" or "god" created the world. But I'm confused because you seem to be equating the origination of the universe with the origination of the species. I don't know what you're trying to imply here. If a God did create the world, how do we know what qualities it has beyond the capacity to create the world?

[Guy13]

It’s just not difficult. One can not conceive of anything…be against Something unless you acknowledge Something Is. In say God does not existence you are acknowledging that God Is or there would Not be anything to Doubt. One can not doubt nothing…. One has to acknowledge the thing doubted is. Even Dawkins has been quoted in debate saying “oh my God”… God Is evident to him too in his self profession. You can find that online in the Daily Beast in a debate. God 1 and Atheist 0 is article. The video with the Scottish theologian and Dawkins is also available. It’s laughably obvious. Daily Beast like Huffington Post is not a conservative news source…

@guy13 that's simply the God of the Gaps fallacy, unlike religion, the point of science is to admit we don't know things so we can try to find real answers. To say "I don't know, therefore God" is a lazy way to explore the universe. We know we don't know, therefore we do not claim to, and therefore do not have to defend the extraordinary claim. But to say "God did it", that's a claim, so the onus is on you to prove that it is a valid, self supporting claim.

I thought that place already was full of godless heathens?

Any gutter, I suppose.
