I think both atheists and theists are equally arrogant. Both so convinced that they are right, yet both unable to truly give proof

well being religious is all about faith so the point is you have no concrete proof your proof is individualized through your relationship with whatever you worship

Religion is literally supposed to be faith based I don’t really understand your point in this , and if anything I think it’s kinda fucked up and hypocritical if u reply to me trying to prove that you’re right 😭

most atheists do not deny the existence of god as a fact, they simply lack the belief of the claims of one

I feel that only applies to a specific type of Theist and Atheist. Aka the ones you see actively debating or shoving their beliefs down your throat. Like Brian from family guy for a fictional example or that purple haired girl from the ghost stories dub. As an “Atheist” I whole heartedly dgaf if God is real or not, though I also just can’t get behind God existing anyway without feeling like it’s cruel. But If God was real I wouldn’t IGNORE that fact either. I don’t speak for all Atheists ofc

What if it wasn’t necessarily central to your identity

Irrelevant. It’s the belief. Even if you don’t wear the belief on your shoulder, the belief is still there

One of the dumbest arguments ever. “Why do you believe what you believe?” “Because I have faith”

well it’s not an argument lol like i just said that’s how it works it’s not something one person can prove to another it’s an individual truth you’d have to discover yourself

But yea both sides can be very arrogant and down right annoying to deal with. Especially when politics are involved..

It’s not an argument it’s a reason you can’t really get mad at someone for being religious that’s like being racist or homophobic I think the word is antitheism

But I’m not trying to prove atheism or theism wrong. I’m agnostic: I recognize that I’m not smart enough to be able to definitively prove one or the other

Fair point, and I apologize. Someone else already said it: agnosticism

Then they are not atheists, they’re agnostics. Atheism is a-theism.

I’m not mad at them, I think their reasoning is flawed. I can and do work with devoutly religious people as well as staunch atheists. And don’t get me started on my grandmother lmaoo

No it is a dumb. It can be applied to anything. “Why do you believe this drug will help reduce the chance of heart attacks” “Because I have faith” You’re fired lol. Need data, need results

well that’s something scientific not something supernatural lol. by definition this stuff CAN’T be proven through the formats you understand. you have to widen your definition of what proof is

So then you’re not just trying to prove that you’re right, you’re trying to prove that you’re better at… what, believing? You’re better at not committing? Bro some people are devout and some people are atheist and some people, like you (in name) believe that’s there’s something but don’t know what. That still has no proof. Religion isn’t about proof it’s about faith. I know this as an atheist!! Why do you insult your brothers and sisters on this earth?
