What makes you a fanatic is that you can't tolerate another person's personal belief so you do what? Attack them? Yes, you've done plenty of that here, right? Just like the Christian group opposing gay marriage or the right to choose so yes, I'll equate you with the religious fanatics. You are also trying to impose your beliefs (belief isn't a synonym for fact BTW.) on another instead of being tolerant of the next individual's way of life. Sounds eerily similar to those groups you mentioned above.Originally Posted by NikeAirForce1

I'd put alot of you anti-God people in the same boat as the religious fanatics because just like them, you are on a crusade to impose your beliefs on someone else. You personally don't know if there is a God or not, correct? Regardless of whatever "evidence" you have, it's not enough to prove or dispel the presence of a higher power. Both sides look foolish in here.
What does this atheist "fanaticism" composed of? Debating on the internet? Is that what makes atheist "fanatics?"
This thread isn't about disproving the existence of god(s). We're merely asking for any evidence for the existence of god(s). If the evidence that people provide don't hold up, we'll point that out. God(s) may very still exist, but there is NO proof for the existence of god(s).
Now let's look at what religious fanatics do.
Preach on the street corner. â
Door-to-door proselytizing. â
Kill people who don't share their same beliefs. â
It's laughable that you even dare to equate us with religious fanatics. Looks like you haven't thought about this one and rushed to judgment.
There is no evidence for the existence of god(s).
Why do you not believe that Santa Claus, Zeus, unicorns, fairies, etc exist?
In fact, prove to me that Santa Claus DOES NOT exist.
Did you try it yet? See how ridiculous it is when people like goldenarmz ask us to prove that god(s) don't exist?
Do you believe in something less intrusive like man actually visiting the moon or that dinosaurs existed? Sounds asinine, right? There's substantially more evidence that these things are fact in comparison to God existing, but have you seen them with your own eyes? Have you ever seen a proton or electron? No, these are things you've been taught, but have you experienced them first hand? I've heard similar things from people of varying religions about the power & signs they've witnessed personally. I didn't experience it & it was odd to hear some of the things, but at the end of the day, their beliefs were powerful enough to them that they felt compelled to tell others. Those words were convincing enough that others accepted, whether through evidence or emotion, they were accepted by some. Not all. As much evidence that we have, there's still a segment of people who believe the earth is flat, sounds crazy but they believe it in their heart of hearts. We as humans aren't personally going to be able to prove everything, there isn't one person who is an authority on everything, we have been taught things that ourselves will never be able to validate as fact.
To quote Albert Einstein, "âWhoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of truthhttp://creatingminds.org/quotes/truth.htm and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
You still come here for the shoes man?
Right in the very first post, I said if people posted their reasons for believing god exists that can be explained with science, I would try and refute it. No one had to post anything. They posted and knew that their reasons would be scrutinized. Where in the hell have I attacked anyone in this thread? Give me one example. ONE.
Do you see how ridiculous and dishonest you are by equating atheists on the internet to religious fanatics?
Again, most atheists don't claim that there is no god(s) *edit* with 100% certainty. But if someone says that there is for whatever reason, they have to provide evidence for it. If their evidence is flawed, they will be scrutinized and dismissed. What's so hard to understand about this?
Here's Einstein on God:
The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. ... For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition.

oh noezz. Einstein is intolerant of all religion and other people's beliefs! He's every bit a fanatic as Osama Bin Laden!
