anonymous1: This is the part I don't get... How many sentences do you need to, "not explain yourself?"
Everybody is free to choose their own beliefs, I agree, some people believe in Santa Clause; I don't.
I will settle for acknowledgment that people who call themselves "atheists," choose their beliefs, without any proof; based on nothing but faith, and predjudice.
Maybe I'm wrong!
Only proof will tell.
Without proof, I don't believe they exist, I think they use a term that is not possible to define themselves, like saying they're a bird.
Listen man....don't get too smart,you'll end up stupid.
karen1973: This thread is getting on my nerves now! What proof do you want?? Atheists exist, just as christians, mormons, muslims......etc etc.
Just like vegetarians exist, doctors exist, diabetics exist........
you are making no sense!!!
WHAT PROOF DO YOU NEED???????????
I did not say I believed in any of those things either.
I asked for this kind of proof...
When you say, There is no God you have set a standard of proof you accept, as needed to prove the existence of something.
All I ask is that you apply the same standard of proof to "atheists" existence, as you do to God's. If "atheists exist, they should be able to meet your burden of proof.
But, if there is no more proof they exist, than there is God exists, why should I believe in them?

What type of a relationship are you looking for in a woman? Geez, you don't give up!
But, if a person tells me they are Jesus, should I believe them?
Why not? No one knows when Jesus will return, or what he will look like.
He might have blond, hair blue eyes and a long beard...cus that's what all the pictures say. He might change things up a bit and come back as a Samoan.

If claiming to be an "atheist," is proof "atheists" exist.
Then what you say makes perfect sense.
In which case, someone claiming to be an "atheist," would be reqired to believe it too.
Then they would no longer be considered an "atheist."
anonymous1: I don't believe 'atheists" exist, can anybody prove "atheists" exist?
Using the same standards of proof commonly accepted to deny the existence of God, can somebody prove "atheists" exist?
It wouuld be nice if the person attempting to do so, would refrain from using the words, faith, and/or belief; or forms of it.
Supposedly science, and reason are on the side of the mythological "atheists."
And, Christians only have faith, and belief.
So, please don't ask me to accept your belief, and faith as proof "atheists" exist; use science, facts, and reason.
Isn't the point that atheists don't believe unless you can show them proof....so they don't PROVE God doesn't exist....they just show that YOU can't prove it. Similarly you can't prove that atheists either exist or don't. Where do you guys come from....do they not teach anything in school these days?
Arlene101: I do not believe this thread exists, but IT DOES. It is here whether you believe it is or not. This thread is still worthless and so many posts.
