Hey Dark, how r ya? I'm doing okay! Missed this one since I had a social ... thing. But, is there a non-rude way to explain that Bill's incredulity doesn't matter to "Reality TM"?

"Are you an atheist?" "Yes." "What sort: neutral, agnostic nonbeliever; agnostic disbeliever or an ultra-rare gnostic denier?" "Good question! Denialism calls for objective proof. I can't do that. But I _can_ justify disbelief so I'm not neutral, I'm a disbeliever. And you, are you a theist?" "Yes." What sort: agnostic believer or gnostic affirmer?" "What's the difference?" "Well, do you have a _personal_ god? Do you hold beliefs about your god's personality?" "Yes." "Then you're an affirmer. Proof please."

Defend Jesus' Criwn? Can't Jesus do that himself?

Street preacher: Why don't you believe in God? Random guy: Because of people like you.

500-slide powerpoint presentations DEAR SCIENCE THAT IS A LOT

Some years ago, a man in the office was going around to all the cubes evangelizing. But I was some rows back and I'd heard about it, so I had time to think of a response. When he got to me he sat down in my cube and said, "I don't understand how some people can go through life without an objective moral code." Without so much as turning my head from my computer screen, I said, "Some people prefer to build a moral code based on experience and empathy rather than go by one that's handed to them without thought." He was quiet for a moment and left. Some time later he came over again and went on about how it's god's will that women work at home. I told him to get the f out of my cube and hotfooted it over to HR. I think he was placed on the Diversity team after that as punishment.

If it’s a Hollywood ending, does that mean they had sex? It’s basically how Speed ended…

I think there’s only one thing that could convince me of god’s existence and that is if someone presented me with a Babel Fish.

After not thinking about religion for a few years, then seeing an atheist on youtube, I remembered religion and looked back into again, though quickly realized it was mostly nonsense and immediately stopped believing in it. But yeah, forgot to be a theist. I'm surprised many didn't come about that way.

Ask him why he thinks evolution is "chance".

Somebody comes up to me on the street and asks me what I think happens after you die and I am going to assume he is about to mug me and threaten to help me find out. This is a career limiting move.

What do you believe happens to you after you die? The answer to that is super easy, barely an inconvenience. Nothing.

Nice video bro!

"Would you like this bag of money?" is a GREAT question.

_What do you think will happen after you die_ My body will break down to its constituent elements and the universe will recycle the elementary particles into other things. _Do you believe in god?_ No because there is no evidence of a Mxyzplk character existing in our reality beyond a cartoon character in the comics and religious folklore. I don’t believe in fictional characters because my makeup refuses to accept logical fallacies and empty claims as evidence of a manifestation originating and existing solely in the minds of delusional of arrogantly ignorant knuckle draggers. 🙄

After I die, I'll decompose. If I don't, it's going to be really weird. As for the god belief, I don't buy it because I don't buy the existence of the supernatural in general. It's just too silly. (Speaking of odd, I think I may have worked with Bill Morgan years ago. He was a rabid believer who claimed to have once been an atheist -- as far as I could tell, largely because he liked drinking lots of beer. It kind of looks like him, aged up badly.)

What happens to a marathon after all the runners stop running?

Oh, man, I should probably get on this diet water gravy train. Just need some good marketers.

The answer to the first question is quite simple: "Exactly, why should I?" - and why ask the question if they already include the answer in their question?

After I die? The world as I know it will cease to exist. Easy. 😎

What do I think will happen after I die? It will still take an hour and a half to go from Seattle to Tacoma on a Friday afternoon. Any loved ones I have left will mourn (hopefully). My body will be either burned (if my wife is dead) or buried (if my wife is still alive). Evangelists will still insult and be rude to their victims. The earth, moon, and sun will continue to move in their standard ways. If possible, my organs will be harvested for transplant. People will continue to eat at restaurants and take unwashable clothes to the cleaners.

why, WHHHYYYY not just aks back after the g0d belief question? I'd aks what the g0d even is. If he defined the g0d (making at least 1 claim), it would make some sense to discuss why I don't accept that claim.

60 seconds in and I was so bored I quit. Click baited again.

Eyes and trees. Sigh. Arguments against evolution. Of apologists/apologetics. Old book. Defended with old arguments. "Get a new book. Theres lots. We've been using that printing press for all kinds of them since Gutenberg."

Happy Solstice Peeps!

My belly button is a strengthener for the "my mom exists" argument.

Look at the (designed) trees. With your (designed) eyes. Accept with your rational brain my asserted connection between the existing trees and my asserted TreeCreatorDude.

Jesús loves you ❤

Bearding strangers about their imminent demise. To share the "Good News".

Dark! Don’t take bags of money from theists! Stranger danger!

Off topic but came across a clip by someone who is trying to defend Biblical slavery (specifically that the god of the Bible does not condone slavery) which, by the end, left me feeling that the clip did a genuine DISSERVICE to Christianity in the way it portrayed Christianity: ruclips.net/video/8pUVAbuYn8g/видео.html&ab_channel=IfYouWill Don't be too hard on the poor guy.

my response is less polite.. how would i believe someone dressed in a a bad shirt like that?.. haha

You make me fel extremely thankful that at 64, I've yet to meet my first street preacher. A miracle! Or maybe just living outside the US. (Same for "the end is nigh" types.) Actually, I think the "what would convince you" question is worse. I can often answer why I believe certain things. However, I usually cannot answer what would convince me to change pretty fundamental ideas about the world, at least not honestly. There usually is no single thing. After all, I have collected reasons for my beliefs all my life, and I'll need a comparable mountain of counterarguments. As for the "why not believe in god" question, I think my answer would be along the lines of "why on earth would I?" - probably significantly less polite due to the in-person version of a cold call. 13:17 Among all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most. "... go back to the philosophical drawing board." I suspect he can't _go back,_ because he was never there to begin with.

Is it because I live in the Bible Belt that I never encounter street evangelists? Or do they have magical circles of protection that save them from talking to people who are ready to refute their claims?

Boy, I'm getting shivers. If I had had that encounter, why I think I too would have instantly repented and started flogging myself with the heavier thing I could find, spikey too. I don't know if I would have come to Jesus, but certainly when his evidence was given soooooooooooooooo matter of factly I would have had no choice but to pick a god right then and there. That was some powerful testimonial.

Why don’t I believe in gods? Because it’s childish.

I would love to watch him use this approach with my autistic son who only has one eye. He lost the other to retinoblastoma when he was fourteen months old (almost 43 years ago). He has an excellent prosthetic eye, which has fooled many doctors on first meeting him.

15:13 Be polite - Good so far. Ask them why - Why what? I guess why they are atheists. Badly phrased, but still fairly good so far. Tell them the eyes prove god - Yeah, if you want to be laughed at!

Encountered a fellow on the subway the other day who started in with the 'can I talk to you about God?'. I asked him what he presumed his god was, and when he started in with stories I stopped him and insisted he answer me WHAT his god was. As in the substance of it, make up, level of sentience, perceptive ability, ability to interact with physical matter and energy, etc. Score one for Igtheism, he got off at the next stop.

“Why don’t you believe in God?”. My answer, “Why don’t you believe in God?”, “ Your God is omniprescient, all powerful, is manifested everywhere. If you really believed then you would trust your God’s ability to deliver his message better than you ever could. So, you should shut up and let him get to it”.

I have been approached by evangelists before but never have they instantly asked questions like what i think happens after death. I imagine i'd find it quite rude. Even tho its pretty hard to offend me. It would likely entice me to be brutally honest. Wich is not appreciated by everyone.

Asking questions of people who are not prepared is a common tactic used by people when they don't have good evidence to prove their own position instead stump the subject in order to discredit them and their opinions. I have myopia and a lazy eye. Good job there god on theses eyes. Or maybe human eyes didn't evolve for an inside lifetyle and mine didn't develop properly as i grew as I wasn't outside enough (there are medical studies to support this myopia seems to be related to how much time is spent outside as children).

Doesn't look like apologists are upping their game with this one. Goddidit wasn't much 2,000 years ago and it's only gotten mustier since.

"Do you believe in God?" "Which one?"

Maybe he gave up his ministry when he learned that there are in fact many varieties of walking fish, including Mudskippers, Walking Sharks, Little Skate, Axolotis and Northern Snakeheads.
