    It's MARIS man. Of course he only uses this argument when it applies against something he's against. Then when used against his belief; there was some reason why it doesn't work. Can't you see the pattern?

    Look up straw man and get back to me.

    As for your claim about communist countries, none exist. My guess is you are referring to certain socialist republics.

    There has only ever been one true communist government. Democratic Kampuchea was communist for about 4 years in the late 70's. You probably know it as Cambodia.

    First just in case you didn't know what this meant. And here is straw man:
    So in other words, you used the fallacy of religious leaders abusing their power to create catastrophe, yet you have an excuse or ignore the reasoning that leaders from the communist party abused that very same power to create catastrophe in the name of atheism.

    Next...

    You've dodged answering every single challenge put to you for 20 pages now, cutting and pasting crap that doesn't have anything to do with your thread title.

    None of your 8 (so far) points relate at all to it, and you refuse to engage in debate about it.

    Why not just change the thread title to something related to what you want to debate rather than continue this charade?

    I haven't dodged a thing. If you want to think that you are making some insane point; than that's all up to you. I still haven't received answers for point #3, #6 and #7. If you think you did; then you live in a world all about MARIS. So just saying "I know, therefor it's true" doesn't qualify it to be a correct answer. Sorry, doesn't work that way. Cause if that's the case; than Christians or other theist would have a very logical rebuttal just on their personal testimonies.

    In this thread; there is only one question. Is Atheism a sound belief? And with your definition; and the definition from Webster Dictionary; it really isn't. But go at it as long as you wish. If you feel the need to win some personal battle you have with God; then by all means fire away. What I do believe is, I have a being that had the power to create the entire universe, backing me in this thread. I like my chances.

    Thank you for admitting and confirming beyond all rational objections that god does not exist.

    Fortunately; that hasn't been presented as evidence by the "theists" in this thread.

    And yet you have not the courage to bring evidence of any kind to refute it.

    (Don't feel too bad. Nobody else can either. You can't disprove reality, you can only hope to deceive by diversion and dishonesty.)

    No evidence has been presented by theists in this thread.

    Well that's your opinion. Telling me I have none; doesn't mean I didn't present it. You are just refusing to see the forest through the trees. I have said countless times that this thread is just presenting evidence and the people reading it can make their own assessment. They are the jury; theists are the prosecutors; and the atheists are the defense. So if you think saying "We are wrong, because you say so" is the best evidence to present; then present as many as you wish.

    Like I've said before. Nothing of significants have been refuted for point #3, #4, #6 and #7. The others; may have some decent refutes. I haven't read anything that completely convinces me otherwise.

    #6 is not a piece of evidence that can be refuted. You've been told this and you, again, ignore it. #6 is asking atheists to provide evidence. That is not evidence of god's existence.

    I keep repeating the thread title. "Evidence that "Atheism" is not a sound belief. And reading through this thread; Denny even said; if you believe something; then you must provide evidence to support your belief. Then hoojacks posted the youtube clip that Atheism isn't a belief; and the comment on that very same youtube clip; argued that it was a belief. And this coming from an agnostic. Even Maris said that Atheism is a belief. His quotes "Atheists know God doesn't exist". If they know, then they must have great evidence why there isn't a God.

    I am not proving atheism doesn't exist. I am arguing atheism isn't a sound "BELIEF". Big difference here.

    Asking someone else for evidence is not evidence. Throw out #6.

    Meh, keep it in, who cares. You have your 10 reasons why others are wrong, good for you. Good luck with your top 10 list.

    sigh... Asking someone for evidence is not evidence; when I am trying to prove atheism does not exist. But whatever RR7. Like I said... If the defense refuses to provide evidence about God not existing; then that is entirely their choice. I'm not going to stop them.

    I am not saying anyone is right or wrong. I am voicing my opinion, and have, what I believe, logical reasons why. I am not trying to make atheists as some villain. You might take it that way. I have said it like 20 times already. This is an open thread. Both sides can give as much evidence; or debate the evidence given. Others that read it can make up their own mind.

    this isn't a fucking jury trial. You have 10 pieces of evidence why it's not sound. Calling on the other side to tell you why it IS is not evidence.

    Not true at all. And my metaphor of a "jury trial"; doesn't mean someone is going to jail after. I am using this, because everyone has an idea of the court system. In debates; they call it "The House". It is like the same thing; but not too many people understand it.
