Just because it's on YouTube doesn't mean it's Gospel (pun intended)

[JimF]

I've had the same argument over and over again with "believers" all my life.

"But what if there is a God? Wouldn't it be better to believe in him, you know, just in case?"

"Of course I'm familiar with Pascal's Wager...."

"With what?"

"Never mind. But what is the Muslims are right? You'd be making Allah angrier and angrier with you every day!"

canary: "Just because it's on YouTube doesn't mean it's Gospel (pun intended)" - the arithmetic is sound!

[THECORBYLOON]

If you're claiming 2,999 out of 3,000 gods are rejected and that means 99.9997% of gods are rejected, you're wrong.

One out of 3,000 is 0.0333% and 2,999 out of 3,000 is 99.9667%.

"You'd be making Allah angrier and angrier with you every day!"

Allah exists at the very highest state of dudgeon and has since he was invented. No intervention by puny humans can alter that.

That's right piggynose, The Monkees were believers, not an atheist between them.

[Hymie]

Only a fool would deny that life on earth has evolved over billions of years.

What no one has explained to me is how one of those evolved animals (mankind) has managed to get an after-life (which no other animal has managed) which is dependent on how they lived their life on earth.

And aren’t plants a form of life – do they get an after-life with us in heaven or hell?

Why Everyone [on Ab] Is At Least 99.9997% moronic ?

[Old_Geezer]

To be an atheist one has to believe in zero gods. It's a binary thing; you either are 100% atheist or 0% atheist.

[JimF]

Christopher Hitchens' standard answer to the question "Can you say with 100% certainty that god does not exist?" was "No, but I can say that god does not exist with as much certainty as I can say that the tooth fairy doesn't exist, or santa claus or the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist."

[Old_Geezer]

He thinks there's a possibility that the tooth fairy exists ? Wow, he has more faith than I.

[david small]

Not as is commonly understood. Though there is a creative essence behind existence.

[Khandro]

No proselytising on here by Rod Liddle at all, just a few sensible questions posed to a variety of atheists. Worth a watch if you haven't seen it;

[naomi24]

They’re not Ricky Gervais’ words - even though he’s getting the accolades. That argument is attributed to Stephen Roberts - and it’s an excellent one. Entirely rational.

[naomi24]

I can’t watch that video, khandro. The background music is drowning out the commentary. What a racket!

[naomi24]

I see no one has offered a counter-argument.

[Khandro]

naomi: I can't remember the intrusive sound, I haven't watched it for a long time, but it can't be all the way through, also, If you google 'The Trouble With Atheism. Rod Liddle' there are other versions & highlights. There's also a Wikipedia page:

[naomi24]

Khandro, knocking atheism does nothing to endorse the validity of religious belief. It's a swerve.
