Asserting that something exists because you can't disprove that it doesn't deserves the applause.

Since when did I say that?

I was pointing out the opposite.

'Asserting that something' does NOT exist. See the word there 'asserting'? Do you know what 'asserting' means?

Without such logic for us humans, there'd be no such thing called philosophy. That is, questioning what we do NOT know because we cannot prove we know we don't know.

Only an ignoramus (wanted to use the i-word but the mods here would kick me)would think he knows what he doesn't know.

What if God was a super advanced supercomputer made by a collapsed hyper advanced alien culture?

Because you're asserting a claim that you cannot actually prove either. Saying God isn't real is the same as saying God is real. You can NOT prove either.


Any atheist who does that is making an unwise move. They should never assume the burden of proof.

@Wutobliteration

just curious, what do you think of people who don't think the Greek gods exist? do you think we should all just be saying "i don't know whether or not the Greek gods exists, there's no proof for or against their existence" instead?

It's common today to acknowledge Greek Gods don't exist because of what we now know of the skies, sun, weather etc.
The reason why certain religions continue to persist today are due to how it spread throughout history and how much the religion can fit in the context of our current understanding of the world. Like Christianity is a strong religion due to its flexibility and belief in the omnipotence of God, no limited to any one thing like seas, sun or whatever.

But like everything in life, we can never be 100% sure of anything. Yes, we can never 100% believe in anything, not even that computer screen you're staring at right now. We could be living in a matrix for all we know or maybe you're the only one actually alive in this world and everyone else are holograms or aliens or something
.
'I think, therefore I am'. This famous quote pretty much sums up philosophy. We have reason to doubt everything, including our own existence, simply because we exist in the first place to think and thus, to doubt. The extent of doubt however, would lie in whatever we consider as hard enough evidence to reduce such doubt. Like humans once believed in a unicorn. Now our doubt has gone up to 99% or so, but logically, it should not be 100%

yeah, that's why most self-proclaimed athiestic people are either agnostic athiests or agnostic thiests (the latter is EXTREMELY rare )

this is what users say when they have nothing else to say but still need to reply something...anything... just to acknowledge they haven't given up on the argument

tell me what a world would look like without flaws then.

I think questioning God's existence simply because of what we see in the current state of the world is ignorant.
Also you're assuming a kind altruistic God, so that's your limited impression of what a God only should be. Altruistic. And thus your bias clouds and reinforces your belief that a God can't possibly exist.

But what if you think of any God, not only limited to one such as from the Abrahamic religions?

I already said what I needed to say to stop you from leading into that poor argument but you chose to clap instead. I'll reiterate:

Russell's teapot, Occam's razor etc. Philosophy 101.
