Fighting something that doesn't exist
la...@talltwn.com
It is puzzling to me why an atheist newsgroup exists.
Why are there people that need to prove that God doesn't exist. I guess
the reason is that the evidence is clearly in favor of God existing.
The Bible, miracles, heaven, the universe, creation, etc. all are
testimony to God.
The Big Bang and evolution are the atheists trump cards but neither can
pass the second law of thermodynamics. Hey, but wait: all the bad things
that happen in the world! Sorry, but that is Satan and the demons who
even know God exists but chose to be on the losing side.
By the evidence:
God ......... infinity
Atheists ..... zero

People come here not to "prove that god doesn't exist" but to get away from
all the bastards who insist that god does exist, loudly and repeatedly.

You have obviously fallen for the *BIG LIE* that only atheists
accept that evolution occurs. (Notice that I did not say 'that only
atheists believe in evolution') A quick lurk in news:talk.origins
should disabuse you of that incorrect belief. Many of the posters
there are practicing scientists and many of them believe that the
'Horrible Space Kabloowie' and evolution are the methods that their
deity used to create the universe and the diversity of life on Earth.

The deity you worship is an insane monster who apparently advocates
the killing of infants, tortures disbelievers simply because they
disbelieve because of no evidence, and is reputed to have punished
the entire planet because 2 innocent individuals (Adam and Eve) did
not understand the consequences of their disobedience.
Such a horrible deity is not worthy of your worship.

The bible was written by someone who wants a suitable reason for people to
be good and remain sheep why else "...and the meek shall rule the
world..." when the meek wind up being second class citizens? and are
tormented and basically screwed over until they get mad and scream "I'm
not gonna take this bullshit anymore!!!!" and become the un-meek?
Miracles? Well, a story can grow in the re-telling, the universe is just
something that we haven't explored yet.

You don't actually sound like a troll, so I'll answer your message. And, even if
you are a troll, this still needs to be said. Alt.atheism exists for atheists
who would like to discuss atheist issues and matters of interest to atheists.
Some of us are very interested in ancient history, and this leads to some
discussion on biblical matters. But, mainly the religious discussions start as a
result of theists coming to this newsgroup hoping to convert us to their brand
of theism (and there are many). When they realize that they have no hope at all
of achieving their goal, they either leave peacefully or remain and become a
nuisance. The many arguments you see going on in alt.atheism are a result of
silly, foolish, uneducated and/or vicious comments made by these rebuffed
theists. Some are subtlely insulting, others are outright insulting and many
don't even realize that they are being insulting. When the ones who say they
don't mean to be insulting have it explained to them why their comments are
insulting, they become upset and call us ungrateful. After all, they are here to
'save our souls'. If any theist refuses to understand how deeply insulting this
is to us, then they deserve to be insulted back until they leave. This is an
atheist newsgroup, not a hunting ground for theists searching for conversions to
notch on their belts.
There are several theists who are regular or semi-regular members of
alt.atheism. They are welcome here, since they are here to learn and to trade
knowledge. Many of them stay here because their form of theism has been attacked
by the same theists who attack atheists. They aren't interested in converting
us, and we aren't interested in turning them into atheists. (You can't turn
someone into an atheist anymore than you can force them to believe in a
religion.) Because these theists aren't fanatics like the invading theists, they
are called 'unChristian'.
My opinion is that the invading theists are the ones who behave in an
unChristian manner. They are generally ignorant, egotistical, poorly educated,
bigoted, sexist, unwilling to learn anything new, willing to let others do their
thinking for them, and afraid to think for themselves. They don't think; they
parrot what they are told to believe. As incredible as it seems, most of them
believe that the bible is totally inerrant, though they have never read the
entire thing themselves. They only read the parts that support their personal
prejudices.
As to your other comments which appear to be deliberate attempts to upset
atheists, prove that your or any other god exists, prove that there is such a
thing as a 'devil' or angels or heaven or hell or a biblical creation or
miracles. Don't just throw phrases like 'the Second Law of Thermodynamics'
around. Back up what you say. All you've done so far is repeat the same old
stuff that other theists have come here with and had totally disproven. Do you
have any kind of new proof to support your claims? Have you read the FAQ for
this newsgroup?
By the way, we don't have to prove that your god doesn't exist; you have to
prove that it does. So far, you haven't proven its existence, so there is
nothing, literally, for us to disprove. I'm sure that you can understand this.
I await your answers.

Well, then, to the person that began this newsgroup... you should realize
by now, Bible-fanatics are attracted to non-Christians like bees to
honey... it has something to do with thier innate desire to go to heaven,
didn't you know? It's kinda like a pyramid scheme... if you convert 10
other people you go to heaven, and if THEY convert 10 other people...
etc... and if each of these people gives the Church $1 ... why else does
the Church tell you it's GOOD to be poor, and yet gild thier roofs in
gold...

Once again, we have someone saying that there is evidence of god's
existence, yet there is no evidence presented. Sir, your words are empty.

Lessee... bible - written by men, and might I add, fairly poorly.
Miracles - the claims of simpletons
Heaven - existence is unproven.
Universe - proves the existence of matter and energy.
Creation - according to xtianity, this would be the same as the universe.
This only proves that the original poster is a rambling idiot.

We don't need to prove that god doesn't exist. You need to prove that
he does. And don't even think you've done it with this post.
>The Bible, miracles, heaven, the universe, creation, etc. all are

Prove the Bible is true. List some miracles and prove why they can't
possibly have any explanation other than Goddidit. Prove heaven
exists. Prove the universe requires a god to create it, and that it
has to be your God.
>The Big Bang and evolution are the atheists trump cards but neither can

Oh, wait a minute. But what about all those theists who also think
that evolution and bbt are true? Well, I guess they're really atheists
pretending to be theists, right? Because no _real_ christian could
possibly believe in evolution! And please, I'd love to hear you
explain the 2nd law of thermodynamics for us.

But wait, if God created everything, then he created Satan, too,
right? Now that doesn't make any sense... that makes God responsible
for all the bad things that happen.

Why have throughout history, scientists and other critical thinkers
organized to help people understand that the following do no exist:
The earth centered universe.
Witches
Dragons
Thor and related myths
Zues and related myths.
And even this day, the Christian god is just one of many that some of us
are attempting to show no evidence for them exists.
Are you saying that if you try to explain to a child that the easter bunny
doesn't exist, that you believe that he does?
I know of no atheist that take the idea of "proving god doesn't exist"
seriously. Since it is impossible to prove anything doesn't exist.
We can only try to show others that there is no evidence for any gods
existence. We can try to explain that all thing attributed to gods can be
better explained (Now or in the future) by science.
>The Bible, miracles, heaven, the universe, creation, etc. all are
>testimony to God.

Then what is the existence of God testimony to?
What ever your answer, I could say, that is what the Universe is testimony
to, and be more correct.
>The Big Bang and evolution are the atheists trump cards but neither can

Are you saying a "God out-of-nowhere Universe" follows this law?
Atheism existed long before the theory of evolution or the big bang.

We don't, you need to prove he exists before you can enact laws and
freedom restrictions in his imaginary name. You assume atheist need
to prove anything, they aren't fighting 'god', they are fighting the
mindless followers of a mythology that are so convinced they are
right, they are willing to use force to prove it to you.

What does evolution have to do with thermodynamics? Are you stating
the earth is a closed system?
Second, have you discovered the contents of the universe to A ...
prove it is a closed system? B ... does not contain enough dark
matter to crunch back on itself eventually and cycle like everything
else in nature?
And finally, what does all of this have to do with atheism. Evolution
and cosmology have nothing to do with no believing in sky buddies.
So, please stick to the subject at hand.

That's because you didn't lurk for any appreciable time and you

Oh, silly me. You're a fundie asshole theist, of course you don't feel

>Why are there people that need to prove that God doesn't exist. I
Normally we DON'T try proving that god(s) exist. We NORMALLY have
discussions about how, as atheists, to deal with the theist world out
there. How to raise children with morals and ethics without
brainwashing them. How to get along with theists in the workplace. How
to fight against theocratic laws. And so on.
But...... on a quite regular basis, asshole fundies such as yourself
have to jump into alt.atheism with both feet and no brain. THEN we wind
up telling you how stupid your beliefs are, merely because YOU have
brought the subject up. Is this too difficult for you to understand?
Probably.
guess
>the reason is that the evidence is clearly in favor of God existing.
There IS no evidence for god(s).
>The Bible, miracles, heaven, the universe, creation, etc. all are

Your bible is full of myths... and shit, just like you. There are no
miracles, unless you consider yourself as an example. It's a miracle
that you have enough brain power for basic motor functions, let alone
being able to post on this newsgroup. Yep, miracle. There is no
heaven. The universe is here, yes. Proving what? That the universe is
here. There was no creation. There might be testimony, but not to a
god. Doesn't exist.

I only have a few more things to say to you, based on your complete lack

Again, talking about what you need to prove. (But even allowing this
wouldn't help you. Satan and the demons doing all their evil work
would show that God wouldn't be morally perfect, and therefore due to
his nature not existing.)

Not a very good one, though. It needs some misspellings and random caps,
also Pascal's wager is nowhere to be found, although the
misunderstanding of the second law of thermodynamics is a nice touch. I
rate it about a 6.9 out of 10.

Actually, neither have anythint to do with atheism. However, tha second law
only pertains to closed systems - which the earth isn't. Thus, it doesn't
apply to evolution.

Given the striking lack of intellect and general gawd-blindedness
of your post, I dare say a good many things are puzzling to you.
why an atheist newsgroup exists.
For the discussion of issues related to atheists and/or atheism.
There now, was that so terribly difficult?
>
>Why are there people that need to prove that God doesn't exist.
I personally have no interest in proving that your "god"
doesn't exist, any more than I "need" to prove that Zeus,
Odin, Mithra, Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or the Lucky
Charms leprechaun don't exist. Nor do I give a happy
rat's ass whether *you* believe in any or all of them,
so long as you refrain from barging into *my* beliefs.
I guess
>the reason is that the evidence is clearly in favor of God existing.
And, of course, you *are* prepared to furnish objective, verifiable evidence
that supports your contention? If not,
I have in my pocket an IOU that says *you* owe me a
thousand dollars. Now then, do you believe this IOU exists,
or do you want some *evidence* that it exists?
>>The Bible
By that "logic", I have a Stephen King novel on my bookshelf
that "proves" vampires exist, and another interesting book that
"proves" the existence of talking bears that sit in chairs, sleep
in beds, and eat porridge. Anyway, even supposing that the
bible constituted anything other than a bunch of demonstrably
false stories made up by a bunch of ignorant shepherds, I'd
think twice about using the bible as "proof" of your "god" if I were you -- the
"god" described in the xian bible is a psychotic,
genocidal sadist whom nobody with a shred of moral fiber
would tolerate, let alone worship.
, miracles,
Miracles? How intriguing! What sort of miracles?
Performed by whom? With what evidence or documentation?
A few years ago, a fellow came up with a "magic pill" which,
if you dropped it in your gas tank, would allow you to get
600 miles to the gallon. Since this could reasonably be
considered a "miracle", i.e., something beyond the capability
of science as we currently understand it, can we therefore conclude that the
guy was in fact "god", rather than just a
con artist? And what about all those Elvis sightings?
heaven,
A myth, and one ripped off from earlier cultures, at that.
Even supposing you could prove that "heaven" existed
(and we're all waiting with bated breath), why should
anyone believe it's the creation of *your* "god", rather
than Allah, Buddha, etc.?
the universe,
And we know *your* "god", rather than Allah or Buddha
or The Great Green Goo-Goo, or any one of a thousand
other supernatural beings created the universe because. . .
well, because you say so?
And we know that decades of combined research on the
parts of hundreds of scientists re the origins of the universe
are as nothing because . . .well, because you say so?
And we know that the universe didn't just somehow
spontaneously poof into being because that's impossible,
despite the fact that your "god" just somehow spontaneously
poofed into being?
creation,
So, if I'm to understand you, you're contending that your
fictitious deity exists, and offering as proof of this an equally
fictitious story (which, by the way, is contradicted by a vast
body of scientific and physical evidence) about how "he"
created something somewhere? You'll excuse me if I laugh.

"Pass" the Second Law of Thermodynamics? What is it?
A pop quiz? Or "Go" on the Monopoly board?
Hey, but wait: all the bad things
>that happen in the world! Sorry, but that is Satan and the demons
Well, now, make up your mind. Either:
1) Your "god" is all-powerful, and therefore can be blamed for all the evil in
the world because he, at best, allows evil to exist and
at worst, makes evil things happen;
OR
2) Another entity whom you refer to as Satan causes evil things
to happen in direct opposition to "god"'s will, and therefore, is
more powerful than your "god";
OR
3) Your supreme being suffers from multiple personality disorder,
and when he feels like wiping out an entire country with an
earthquake or giving a three-month-old infant some hideous
fatal disease, he puts on a red leotard and fake tail and pretends
to be his own "Evil Twin".
who
>even know God exists but chose to be on the losing side.
Well, then, why doesn't your invisible buddy brainwash them
(I'm struggling valiantly not to say, "as he's apparently
brainwashed you"), or provide them with such compelling evidence that they
couldn't possibly fail to believe in him,
or simply make them cease to exist? Surely such things can't
be beyond the capabilities of any deity worth his salt.
After all, isn't he supposed to be omnipotent or something? Or does he just
need someone whom he can force to do his
dirty work for him, and then blame them for it?

No way! A "D+"? It deserves at least a "C", just for having such an
incredible misunderstanding of relevancy. There are some points off for
good grammar and correct use of CAPS. I still think that you cannot
give it a lower grade than "C".

The theory of evolution is prohibited by the second law of thermodynamics,
as long as you ignore the 2.74 TRILLION KILOWATTS of energy received daily
from the sun. Apart from that, evolution is impossible.
