I can’t believe the responses of people trying to argue ‘logically’ by name calling.. or even the people who made response videos who assumed you are a Young Earth Creationist..
Or when you mentiond how your reasoning about god is like a detective or lawyer.. and their best response is:
“But I’ve never heard a lawyer argue their cient is innocent by suggesting it was god’s will”…..?? Unrealated. Irrelevent. And clearly misunderstood…..
Sorry I had to say it somewhere.
Unfortunately you need to muster up more rationality and logic!!!!! These arguments are laughably absurd!
Aaron:
Calling them “laughably absurd” doesn’t show them to be so. I’ve spent a lot of time studying logic and the arguments strike me as cogent.
Ken, an atheist friend of mine shared this article (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/on-faith/wp/2013/08/21/an-atheists-guide-to-the-good-life/) and it struck me as something you might have a response to, either here on your blog or in a “Straight Thinking” podcast.
The core assertion is this: “Atheism is the default position. You don’t have to do anything to be an atheist, but you have to work awfully hard to not be one—atheism strips away a lot of superfluous nonsense, rather than piling on remarkable requirements and strange creeds and bizarre pointless rituals that you need to obey.” I’m sure there is a logical, rational response to this assertion, and the 6 specific examples of what can and should be “thrown out,” but I don’t know where one would begin.
