Religious belief is a consensus. … Read More Debunking The “Most People Are Religious” Argument
Most religious believers never realize that in principle, a god that deserves thanks and praise for good things also deserves blame for bad things. To say that you cannot, even in principle, blame god for the bad he has done (or failed to prevent), logically means you cannot thank or praise him for the good.… Read More If You Can Thank God, You Can Also Blame Him
Absence of evidence for the existence of god is not evidence he doesn’t exist. You cannot prove god doesn’t exist. How to debunk it No, there is no evidence for god’s lack of existence because there’s no such thing as evidence for something’s lack of existence. Evidence can only support a positive claim.
