Let’s run a little thought experiment. Take a moment to think about how the world would look if all deities and religions were subjective inventions of human imagination. I think it’s safe to say that different cultures would invent different deities and religions that reflected their respective cultures. They would probably invent all sorts of… Read More How Would The World Look if All Religions Were Made-Up
Religious believers will often try to pin atheism as a minority compared with most of the world’s population that believes in god. This, however, is a huge misrepresentation of reality. It even conflicts with their own religious view of things. Pretty much every believer thinks that people who believe in other religions, let alone in… Read More Every Religion is in The Minority
The Argument Most of humanity is religious. In fact, the vast majority of the people who have ever lived on the planet have been religious. In every place, at every period, in every culture, people have come to understand that god exists. Why do you think you know better? Religious belief is a consensus. … Read More Debunking The “Most People Are Religious” Argument
The Argument If God Didn’t Exist, There Would Be No Way to Tell Good from Bad. If god didn’t exist, what basis would we have for establishing what’s good and what’s bad? There would be no objective reference point. But since we know there is an objective difference between good and bad, we know that… Read More How to Debunk The Moral Argument
How to debunk it This isn’t an argument, it’s a question—a perfectly good one, by the way. The problems start when people try to answer it with insufficient reason and evidence. There are those (mostly in the fields of theoretical physics and quantum physics) who are working on it, and there are some promising leads.… Read More Why is There Something Rather Than Nothing?
The argument There is only one god. How to debunk it The religious idea that you must have faith rather than depend on the constraints of reason and evidence opens the door to any and all deities. To then somehow restrict or channel faith into only one deity is to make a mockery of the… Read More How to Debunk Monotheism
The religious case against same-sex marriage can take many forms, and can be debated and debunked in many ways. But from my experience (quite a bit of it), these are the two quickest and most effective ways to debunk pretty much any argument against same-sex marriage.
Religions are full of supernatural claims and stories, many of which are the core of the religion itself. But the problem isn’t just that there’s no proof to support supernatural claims, it’s that the very idea that something can be deemed supernatural is impossible. If something actually happens, or happened, it is, to the extent… Read More How To Debunk All Supernatural Claims
The original Kalam cosmological argument was developed by Islamic scholars in medieval times based on the Aristotelian “prime mover” idea. It comprises two premises and one conclusion: Premise #1: Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence; Premise #2: The universe has a beginning of its existence; Therefore: Conclusion:… Read More How to Debunk The Kalam Cosmological Argument
How to Debunk It This is not even an argument, just an ad hominem accusation. Calling another person a fool gets you nowhere closer to proving that a supernatural deity exists. People who can’t support their religious claims and just revert to name-calling against those who disagree with them aren’t really worth debating. There isn’t… Read More The Fool Hath Said In His Heart – There Is No God
