Strong atheism is not a claim from ignorance but a conclusion from evidence, every single successful explanation in human history has been natural rather than supernatural, every proposed god concept collapses into incoherence when its properties are examined, and every feature of reality, from biological suffering to contradictory revelations to the indifferent structure of the cosmos, is exactly what we would expect in a universe governed by impersonal physical processes, not a personal creator with intentions, values, or goals. The natural is explanatorily sufficient, the supernatural explanatorily idle, and the world persistently disconfirms theistic predictions. Until a coherent god concept is presented, supported by evidence that cannot be reduced to natural causes and that makes the world more probable under theism than atheism, the rational position is not suspension of belief but positive disbelief: no gods exist.

Yeah, I agree. I don’t think there ever will be a silver bullet proof or disproof of what is claimed in any of the world’s religious scriptures. I have logical reasoning for the belief in a divine creator, as opposed to a universe either existing eternally or starting without cause. And as for the gods and religions, the God portrayed in the Tanakh and New Testament.

this is your claim "A group of Mexicans, to stand with protest signs…. Then reported Mexicans are supporting and wanting to meet Biden" the evidence you gave me does not support that claim. the evidence you gave me simply goes over his biography. maybe you sent me the wrong evidence

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Nick Shirley DECIMATES Gavin Newsom 🔥 “The governor of California is an ENEMY to the people of California. He’s literally working to support the fraudsters!” “He COULD be working to expose the fraud.” “How STUPID do you have to be to say ‘let’s go after the guy exposing the fraud, let’s not go after the fraudsters?’” “That is what he’s doing. Why don’t you say ‘Hey Nick, great video - how can we help?’” “These tax dollars don’t say right or left on them, Republican or Democrat. Each tax dollar is a dollar for the American people.” “And when they go and steal these dollars from us, they are not robbing liberals or Democrats, they are robbing everyone.” “Then the governor gets mad at the person exposing the fraud? How crazy do you have to be to think that logic?!” @nickshirleyy Mic drop. H/t @TVNewsNow

We actually have observed effects of dark matter now, not like holding the substance itself, but empirically speaking we can demonstrate it. I do get the point you are trying to make here too. I only stand at the point of acknowledging what can be tested against reality vs that which is asserted.

We still do the same thing today, we just use different words, like Dark Matter… things never observed, but we observe the supposed effects of such things. And those that believe in Dark Matter aren’t seen as religious loons. I’m not bashing Dark Matter, but trying to give an example.

In my perspective that’s the issue. In a time where we answered nearly everything beyond observable experience with myth and fable, then it doesn’t quantify as reliable information and sources when applied to validating an apparent claim of a religion. I ask for the same thing for the Mohammedan ascension or the Brahma rising through Vishnu. The demon pig example is that they were literally believed and debated to exist at the time, meaning massive amounts of supernatural superstition was prevalent.

My conclusion would be that the all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present God of all Creation... is capable of having texts of His people and His becoming a human in Jesus of Nazareth go without compromise. You got me with the "demon pigs"... perhaps you're referring to pigs being unclean... or how Jesus took demons out of someone and allowed the demons to enter the pigs... still I'm not getting your point.

@MrJoshuasBoss @EricLDaugh Why would a daycare be operational on a weekend and then answer why Nick was accusing them of fraud for not having kids at the places he went to on a Saturday?

@Ausbloke93 @Billy9993175129 @NotEvolution1 I already stated that texts written by different people, in different lands, at different times.... point to the same conclusions... must I also add in different languages too?!

@ScottBennet0245 @Billy9993175129 @NotEvolution1 Oh good you covered the next question. And do they mention these consecutively, as we would expect in a trinitarian sense or in completely seperate contexts and usages? And three men? Not seperate entities of varying metaphysical characteristics?

Very good question. I wouldn't say the Trinity is explicitly expressed in the OT (just as the word Trinity isn't in the NT), but God YHWH being more than one person definitely is. I would point to God being called LORD (YHWH), the Angel of the Lord (many interpret to being Jesus), then there's the Word of the Lord, the Spirit of the Lord, the Son of Man..... Three men did visit Abraham... one of them explicitly called YHWH. This might be the best example of Trinity in the OT.

@ScottBennet0245 @Billy9993175129 @NotEvolution1 So “believed,” not “knew” not “observed” Just believed. People can believe almost anything, we’ve seen this for history longer than your religion’s. If you position has fallen back to “belief” then you’ve proven my point while trying to sound like you were correct somehow

@Ausbloke93 @Billy9993175129 @NotEvolution1 I'm glad you brought up suicide bombers... that's evidence that they are dying for something they believe to be true....... So you would then need to acknowledge that the Apostles of Jesus believed it to be true that Jesus had died, and then was alive again. Thank you.

@ScottBennet0245 @Billy9993175129 @NotEvolution1 Do you claim the trinity to be prevalent in the OT? Did Socrates and Plato profess “the good” in such a way that Philo ended up coining a core Christian doctrine prior to Christianity for simply blending Jewish and Greek concepts?
