Regarding the prayer stuff, fine. We agree there is no power in prayer. We can agree that whether there is a God or not, praying to him for him to do things is not necessary to live a happy life or to make the right decisions.

This is one that I don't agree with. Perhaps God knows our future, perhaps not. This doesn't mean that he has it planned for us.

Then what role does God even have in your life? You don't pray to him, and you don't think he has a plan for you. All you concede at this point is that he may or may not know the future.

Easy. it's the same reason why murderers are allowed to go free in the American justice system simply because a "right" of theirs has been violated. If you make exceptions for one person, the whole thing falls, or at least starts to fall, apart. If one persons "free will" is violated, then the entire system of free will fails, simply because we are no longer free. We have a forced set of rules imposed on us.

Easy? That's not much of an explanation. You've made a very interesting leap from rights violations to free will violations.

Quote:

The only reason I bring that up (at least for the purpose of this argument) is because you are stating that you KNOW God doesn't exist. That is all that I am challenging. I could care less if you believe that God doesn't exist, I could care less if you think that Satanism is "the way". That's your own choice.

Just don't claim to know things that you don't. At least not without backing it up with proof. And sorry, posting links about where the Christian religion got it wrong doesn't prove that God doesn't exist. It just proves where the Christian religion got it wrong.

I hope you're not implying that because I don't believe in God means I believe in Satan. You probably don't mean to imply that but to an outside observer, it sure would look like Moore-esque tactics. You don't believe in Santa, so I don't call you an asantaist. With that in mind, I'm not even technically an "atheist". I'm just normal. You don't believe in Thor, and neither do I. So are we athorists? No. In fact, once you understand why you don't believe in all the other deities that man has invented over the centuries, perhaps then you will understand why I don't believe in yours. Out of all those deities, I just believe in one less than you do, and somehow I'm the evil "atheist".

You say I can't claim to "know" there is no God. Maybe not by the definition you are pushing. But down to the very core of my being, with every bone in my body, I am absolutely sure there is no "God" as defined by ALL the major religions out there. Whatever or whoever started the Big Bang that created this universe has no bearing on the course of my life and has no influence or direction in the decisions I make. The Christian, Catholic, Muslim, and Greek gods all are equally fictional and ridiculous to me.

I'm the bawss.
