[quote name="Freeze"][quote name="DarthSka"][A]theism is mostly a refusal to believe what has been largely indoctrinated, whereas belief is mostly sticking to an indoctrination with little to no thought or criticism behind it; just blind loyalty.[/quote]But if you're going to look at it like that, then you have to see atheism in the same light. You're shown so many examples of God, and yet you want to attribute it to something else. You see miracles literally every day[/quote]I used to tell people the same thing, as a pastor.
Then I realized that the things I was telling people are miracles... aren't.
Childbirth is not a miracle. Sperm, egg, DNA coding, 7-9 months, boom.
Nature is not a miracle. Plant seeds, fertilisation, blah, blah, blah.
Miracles are things that defy logic.
Something we don't knew the answer to yet is not an example of something that defies logic, bro.
Once you understand that you've been conditioned to believe that the simple is evidence of a miraculous god and that the unknown is further evidence of god, you'll understand that you've actually never seen proof of God.
Ever.
And neither have I.
I have never been shown one example of god, and one example is all it would take.
