Atheists Don't Exist

Argumentum ad malafidem.
One of the three great fallacies characteristic of posts by Internet Skepticism.

No, it's not. If you weren't so hilariously unacquainted with logic, you'd know that. It's an observation based on what rational, sober adults collectively describe as 'objective reality'.

Internet skepticism exists only in your fantasy life.
The second of the three great fallacies of Internet Skepticism -- argumentum ad calumniam.

LOL! Doubling down, eh.

Fun that you can't demonstrate that I've committed any fallacy, that you're actually versed in logic and that you cling to the belief that 'Internet Skepticism' exists anywhere outside of your imagination.

Keep digging that hole.

(Shakespeare FYI)
You've used all of the three great fallacies of Internet Skepticism in three consecutive posts:
1. the fallacy of bad faith
2. the fallacy of calumniating opponents

and drum roll for number 3:

The argumentum ad repetitionem
(repetition of bad faith, calimnies, etc.)

A true Internet Skeptic thous art!

It's boring to see you bray that I've committed imaginary fallacies and then utterly fail to demonstrate that I have.

Rather like you do with you self-invoked claims of victory in proving the existence of some god.

And remember: Only the Internet God Haters insist that Internet Skepticism exists.

Why do you hate god?

And it's 'calumnies' not 'calimnies'. Your misuse of terms is about on par with your ignorance of logic.

Do Atheists Exist?

kBvSbpC.jpg


Apparently not.

Not by the standards of Internet skepticism they don't.

At the very least there is no reason to believe that atheists exist.
(This to match the more tempered skeptical claim.)

Internet skeptics demand proof of God's existence.
Internet skeptics jeer at mystery presented as evidence.
Internet skeptics reject personal testimony out of hand.

(I use the word "prove" throughout in the loose sense popularized by Internet skeptics of course.)

So let us turn the tables on the Internet Skeptic.

Let's demand a proof of the existence of atheists.

Let us reject personal testimony as evidence.

(But let's leave the jeering to the Internet Skeptic, yes?)

The purpose and point of this thread is to show the Internet Skeptic the folly of his ways.

(Drum roll please)

because by the standards of the Internet Skeptic

Pointless thread is pointless
How long do you plan to play this game of denying the actual meaning of skepticism? Skeptics are atheists.
You believe that a god exists. If a Hindu said to you 'I know that Krishna exists' what would your answer be?
We are debating.
I refuse to feed it any further, so I won't entertain his ad hominem trollfest.

...I think the description of what a skeptic is in this thread is not a true description of skepticism. Skepticism is also not religious in nature, it can be about everything. I can be skeptical of views held by conservatives but that would never mean I deny them as being conservatives.
Dudes obsessed with trolling atheists.

I'm an atheist and I exist. I do not believe in any gods. I do not know why you're so childish and desperate with these outlandish claims. It can be objectively proven that atheists can and do exist, you can not provide any evidence objective or subjective that god exists.

You've gotten so dishonest you won't even admit people that don't think like you exist. Another thread fail.
This is the sort of thing that makes me ever more conviced that the whole thing of religion is all about lying.
If he is, he's terrible at it. Every time he makes ridiculous and untruthful arguments, gets called on them, and is quickly left with nothing but hurling insults. It's sad watching it happen over and over.
Atheism is nothing more than a reaction to theism. Unless you can demonstrate theism does not exist, that you do not believe in a god then your proof exists in your very existence.

The good reason is that theism needs to be challenged.

As well you demonstrate hypocrisy in calling me closed minded when you will face no other possibility than that of an existing god.

Yawn.

There are interesting discussions to be had on the subject of whether God exists. This just isn't an example of one.

As a matter of fact, it's the kind of conversation people I knew would have in college, after having ingested a lot of beer and/or various psychoactive substances. :lol:

Who cares?

I can.

You can prove you are a theist. You say that you believe in God and actually believe it. That would do.

Given you certainly don't beleive in Zeus it is proven that you are atheistic about Zeus.

I am atheistic about your god.

Stop lying all the time. It is bad for your sanity.

In other words you are trying to take away ones liberty to be skeptical about someones claims.

All it takes to be atheist is not believe in God.

How is that not possible?

Well, think it from gospel's view point. Atheist is one of those reasons why Christians are "running amok" and shaking Bibles, shouting "Jesus is your savior".

Atheism is nothing more than a reaction to theism. Unless you can demonstrate theism does not exist, that you do not believe in a god then your proof exists in your very existence.

Yup, we do. Actually a proud third generation atheist in my case. And the fourth generation is already living their atheists lives as we speak.
 
One of the most popular "arguments by assertion" of Internet Skepticism. Engage or disengage.

There is no problem with this thread. There's a problem with Internet Skepticism. I have two active threads on that in the forum.

Doubling down on Internet Skeptical stock rejoinders is Internet Skepticism 101.

The irony rejoinder as well. We're done, addressee.

What would a serious thread be without silly one-liners from devildavid?
Serious maybe.
But who wants serious when Internet-Skeptical-Internet-Atheiest-Reductive-Materialist-and-downright-Philistine Fun is on offer?
