    According to you, of course. I have all the evidence I need.

    That's a matter of your opinion. People reading this can take your statement and make their own opinion. I'm fine with that. So you choose not to give evidence then?

    Which is fine and acceptable. It's trying to prove to others, which you don't have to do, where it becomes an issue.

    There's no evidence god doesn't exist. There's no evidence unicorns don't exist.

    If you want us to believe something then you have to provide us with the evidence.

    Bingo! If the atheist wants you to believe something he must provide proof. Thank you.

    What counts as evidence for us doesn't count as evidence for you, apparently. I believe God created the universe and everything in it, you believe it's the result of a random cosmic explosion. I have all the physical evidence I need that God exists, plus the fact that God has made Himself known to me is just icing on the cake.

    Remember buddy; this isn't about our god. This is about the existence of a deity. Our opinions arent relevant right now.

    Duh.

    You might have read post #2 and figured that out.

    Your suggestion atheism doesn't exist is silly. It exists in the same sense religion exists. MARIS61* may not believe in god, but I'm quite sure he acknowledges religion exists. He must pass by a church once in a while (that's evidence!).

    He was asking for evidence, I figured the entire physical universe might apply.

    atheists aren't trying to get you to believe anything.

    Oops I didn't say atheism doesn't exist. I said it wasn't a sound belief. Look at the thread title and my original statement.

    Many are. In fact it seems like many atheists believe the purpose of life is to convince you there is no purpose to life.

    I acknowledge you believe what you do. You can't show me a shred of objective evidence that god exists, though. If you could, every atheist here would be skeptical at first, but converts.

    Your opinion but like I said Dawkins, hitchens and Harris among many other atheist have tried to convince this belief to be a "world view"; so I have every right to question it.

    A skeptic is not an atheist. An atheist is an atheist. We are debating on atheism being a sound belief.

    Suit yourself, there are 80,000 new Christians every single day. Apparently they got the evidence they needed. I don't think anything we say will convince you God exists, He'll have to do that Himself if He desires to.

    Fair enough, but you have posted nothing but 6 illogical claims that have all been refuted.

    Fuckin'-A. Then get them in here to convince you. You do have the right to question it. You have the right to show your evidence. And say it isn't a sound belief. By all means, do what you want. We have every right to hold to our lack of belief in your thread, and not have to prove the un-provable. Of course, that won't stop you from asking t 5 more times.
