The only "Evidence" for atheists would be
the self reports of the so-called
atheists... their personal testimony. If
personal testimony is now acceptable
evidence, the theists win.

Theists aren't limited to personal testimony.
They also have science on their side -- like
how the "Simulated Universe" theory is really
just God under a different name -- and they
have things like miracles. Medical miracles
are the best, of course, because they are
documented by medical science...

So theists have personal testimony PLUS other
evidence, people pretending oops I meant
"Claiming" that atheists exists have only
personal testimony to go by.

Quick! Deny the obvious! Show how well
adjusted you are by insisting that the
undeniable isn't true!

...religion is so fucking nonsensical, that no verification for the
existence of atheists is needed, because it is simply a matter of
common sense that rational, reasonable, sane non-believers must exist.

...religion is so fucking nonsensical
The religious way you impose a standard of evidence
on others that you could never hope to meet yourself,
for example.

...you make that "Leap of Faith."

With your religious faith, you are suppose to leap so that you can demonstrate your true confidence in your pixie.....but, this type of suppose evidence sees all theists running for cover, such apparent cowardice!!!!!!!!!

The easiest thing in the world would have
been to admit that I'm right. That's how
a normal person would have done it. Someone
without your disorder would simply admit
what they were doing, after it was pointed
it, it being so abundantly clear.

It is that simple. The fact that your so
called "Atheism" can't survive the simple
truth goes a long way towards condemning
you.

Is this how a trolling theist respond?
Your denial of atheism is simply having nano chance of success....

Wow. Talk about projection.

McGuinness posts this crap over and over and over.

It's a PRaTT, so I'll repeat one of my previous answers:

[shamelessly quoting myself]

Personal testimony is a valid form of discussing belief,
if not the factual basis (or lack thereof) for such beliefs.

Atheists are not asserting a belief, so asking someone
"Do you believe in a ghod" and getting the answer "no"
is all you need for "proof of an atheist's existence."
If you want to rebut that statement, by providing evidence
that he is lying, go right ahead. I've heard "nobody
relly disbelieves in a ghod. In their heart of hearts
they know ghod is real" all my life. Since mind-reading isn't
as yet replicable nor falsifiable, I won't accept it as evidence.

"I don't believe" is not an extraordinary claim. "Ghod(z) exist(s)"
is. The extraordinary claim has a higher standard of evidence.
Every once in a while this is pointed out to McGuinness, but he
always ignores it, runs away, and starts another thread with his initial
claim that there are no real atheists.

I wasn't talking about that, actually, but given how
profoundly stupid you are I can't say that I'm
surprised that you would feel otherwise...

You're a moron trying to justify hypocrisy.

They theists kick your ass. Where all you've
got is personal testimony the theists have
science, especially medical science, as well
as personal testimony to draw on for evidence.

I don't believe in Zeus, Ahura Mazda, Osiris, Odin, Quetzalcotl, the
Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot or UFO abductions, either.

Although McShitforbrains McGuinness must believe in UFO abductions
complete with anal probes - after all, he's such a pain in the ass.

It's the same as asking a person if they are a Republican or a Democrat and asking them to prove that they are whatever they say.

How do you prove you're a Republican or a Democrat? You can't provide any physical evidence.

There must be some atheists or you wouldn't be doing so much complaining about them.

No. People misidentify OR MISREPRESENT themselves all
the time. The collective calls itself an atheist then
describes an agnostic, as one very common example.

It's offensive with wannabes jump on somebody elses
bandwagon. By associating your mental illness and
knuckle dragging ignorance with actual atheists you
are soiling them and their views.

You're not an atheist. You never were.

It isn't such a clear line between atheists and agnostics.

If Jesus appears in the sky tomorrow you will be on your knees
or dancing in celebration.

If Jesus appears in the sky tomorrow I will assume it is most
likely a hoax. A holographic projection. A scheme of airborne
animatronics. A hallucination or induced dream-state. It could
even be a ruse conducted by an alien civilization. There is
almost no chance that it is actually Jesus, the junior lord
creator. How exactly would we tell the difference between
advanced aliens projecting a hologram and an actual appearance
by a god? I would remain a skeptic.

Technically there are no atheists. The most any of them can claim is agnostic
due to inability to support their position.

That means you are an agnostic regarding whether there are invisible cows grazing on undetectable invisible grass on the moon.

Glad you're so "open-minded" and refuse to deny they exist due to your inability to disprove they're there.

What a refreshing change of pace for you. And how is your attempt to disprove the Son of the Leprechaun created the universe coming along?

Agnostic about that too? You can't disprove it, you know.

I take it then, that you are also agnostic when it comes to believing the Son of the Leprechaun created the Universe since you can't disprove He didn't. Right?

How can a person verify an atheist exists?
The only "Evidence" for atheists would be
the self reports of the so-called
atheists... their personal testimony. If
personal testimony is now acceptable
evidence, the theists win.
...religion is so fucking nonsensical, that no verification for the
existence of atheists is needed,
Technically there are no atheists. The most any of them can claim is agnostic
due to inability to support their position.
That means you are an agnostic regarding whether there are invisible cows grazing on undetectable invisible grass on the moon.
Yep, I am totally unsure of the existence of invisible cows grazing on invisible
grass on the moon.
Glad to see you think it might be true.
No way to know.
Sure is! But I won't tell you how.

I take it then, that you are also agnostic when it comes to believing the Son of the Leprechaun created the Universe since you can't disprove He didn't. Right?
Practically speaking, God is the only answer.
Practically speaking, that sentence is meaningless without proof. It's a lie.

An omniscient being wouldn't need any reports, now, would it?

The "omni-" qualities are, compared to the Hebrew original,
a retcon borrowing Greek concepts.

As I always say, the only one of them that seems real

I think you are missing a very valuable evidence which suggest
deliberate, purposeful, and intentional design in nature by
ignoring homeboy genes.
Homeboy genes appear to have been programed over 500 million
years ago, they are universal, {the same master control genes
called (homologue) in all animals in the animal kingdom, and
they are virtually unchanged from their beginning. Over 300
so far have been identified.
They control the genes that express for eyes, heart, stomach
and other organs, heads and limbs.
For example: the eye gene of a mouse was transplanted into
the genome of a fruit fly and the mouse eye gene controlled
the development in complex fruit-fly eyes in fruit flies.
https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/walter-jakob-gehring-1939-2014
The eye gene called Pax6 controls the development of eyes

in humans, squid, fish etc.
Of course this is said to prove that the mouse, fruit-fly
humans etc all had a common ancestor.

I think you are missing a very valuable evidence which suggest
deliberate, purposeful, and intentional design in nature by
ignoring homeboy genes.
Homeboy genes appear to have been programed over 500 million
years ago, they are universal, {the same master control genes
called (homologue) in all animals in the animal kingdom, and
they are virtually unchanged from their beginning. Over 300
so far have been identified.
They control the genes that express for eyes, heart, stomach
and other organs, heads and limbs.
For example: the eye gene of a mouse was transplanted into
the genome of a fruit fly and the mouse eye gene controlled
the development in complex fruit-fly eyes in fruit flies.

The eye gene called Pax6 controls the development of eyes
in humans, squid, fish etc.
Of course this is said to prove that the mouse, fruit-fly
humans etc all had a common ancestor.

No, Spell=checker error, I am in reference to _homeobox_ genes.
These genes, as scientific evidence, come very close to proving
the existence of God, if taken at face value and without strong
allegiance to the Darwinian theory.

These genes have been referred to as "master control genes",
and "genetic took-kit", because of their role in the development
of body forms in different organisms. They have been called the
3/rd most important discovery in biology-after Darwin's theory
and the modern synthetic theory.
This has been labeled Evolutionary Development, shortened to
Evo Devo, by scientist:
These genes were discovered in 1983 by the late
Dr. Walter Gehring, professor of biology at the University of
Basel, in Switzerland while researching the eye gene in fruit
flies.
One of his associates informed Dr Gehring that he had
seen the same gene in mice. Surprised, Dr Gehring took mice
eye genes and place them on a fruit-fly. To his shock the
mouse gene controlled the development of normal complex fruit
fly eyes in the fly,
www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/04/4/text_pop/l_044_01.html
www.youris.com/Health/Genetics/One_Gene_One_Vision.kl
This same gene the eye gene called Pax6, a homologue is found in
organisms from fruit flies, zebra fish, octopus, mice, birds and
humans. but this is one homeobox gene. Over 300 so far have been
described. Other homeobox genes control the development of hearts,
and limbs on every animal of the animal kingdom. These genes are
short, generally consist of 180 base pairs. The commonality
of these genes it is claimed proves common origin, proof of
evolution. But this is difficult to see, considering the
following characteristics of these genes:
.
1) They are virtually unchanged from their beginning called
highly conserved, by biologist. But evolution is about change.
2) Homeobox genes, with minor variations, are universal, ubiquitous
throughout the animal kingdom: they are presented, by Darwinians as
proof of evolution. But without verifiable examples of a step by
step development. But everything, regarding the evolution of
these genes, like abiogenesis has to be assumed and cannot be
explained.
3) they are ancient having originated before the radiation of
animals during the Cambrian, which means these genes appeared
far in advance of their need - that is by animals of the 'Cambrian
explosion.

According to Sean B Carroll, these genes were in existence long
before large complex forms emerged.

Ref: The New Science of Evo Devo, by Dr. Sean Carroll, 2005, Pg 139

Considering these characteristics it is not unreasonable to interpret
these genes as deliberate, purposeful, and intentional design,
inferring a designer.

inferring a designer.
Another mystery solved by the homeobox genes, is considering that
humans and Chimps share about 99% of the same genes, and mice
and humans shares almost 84% of their genes, and fruit flies and
homo sapiens share some 61%, Humans and cats share 90%.

https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-human-DNA-is-shared-with-other-things

So what accounts for the huge differences we observe?

No one could explain before the homeobox discovery. The Pax6 gene,
for example contains the information for the formation of eyes.
This is done by timing and turning Pax6 switches on and off, not
very different from a computer program.

What is Atheism?
Atheism is "a Belief that there is no God/are no gods".
Thus, if you want to find out if a person is an atheist, it seems reasonable that you simply ask them if they are or not.

What is Christianity?
What are Protestants and Catholics?
Is Christianity NOT a belief?
Is there a difference between Catholicism and Protestantism?

Is Christianity NOT a belief in God, and in Jesus Christ and his teachings?
How do you tell if a self-identified Christian is Catholic, Protestant, or "other"?
Does it not make sense to ask them?
Does a good way of determining if a person is a Catholic or a Protestant NOT start with simply asking them?
Post by JTEM
Theists aren't limited to personal testimony.
OK. So how does one tell is a person is a theist or not -- WITHOUT ASKING THEM? Suppose I just walk down the street, and point to a random person. How are you going to tell if they're a theist without talking to them, emailing them, or otherwise asking them to explain what they believe?

are the best, of course, because they are

What is a miracle?
Is a miracle simply favorable results when faced with a poor prognosis, or is it when someone is misdiagnosed, and told they are going to die, but don't? Or is it when all the scientific evidence of a diagnosis suddenly and inexplicably reverses itself?

I've been told of many medical miracles, but in most cases, people received treatments in the form of drugs, therapy, or surgery, and simply beat the odds. Nobody ever calls it a miracle when someone who is scientifically tested to be completely healthy suddenly dies.

Atheism is "a Belief that there is no God/are no gods".
Not really. Atheism is a _lack_ of belief in supernatural beings.
There is a distinct difference. A belief must be supported if
challenged. A lack of one insists that the believers do that heavy
lifting. Without that effort, we do not believe _them_ when they
prate about their imaginary superfirends.

Why do people who are apparently not atheists insist on defining
atheists incorrectly? Is it ignorance, or is it a deliberate trolling
ploy?

atheists... their personal testimony. If
personal testimony is now acceptable
evidence, the theists win.
What is Atheism?
Atheism is "a Belief that there is no God/are no gods".
Not really. Atheism is a _lack_ of belief in supernatural beings.
There is a distinct difference. A belief must be supported if
challenged. A lack of one insists that the believers do that heavy
lifting. Without that effort, we do not believe _them_ when they
prate about their imaginary superfirends.
Why do people who are apparently not atheists insist on defining
atheists incorrectly? Is it ignorance, or is it a deliberate trolling
ploy?
Is someone using an old nym from way back or is Psycho Dave really back?

With so many nyms and so little time, who can tell (or care)?

Not exactly. Atheists do not believe in any god(s). It's not that we don't believe that there aren't any gods, just that we don't believe in them. Subtle perhaps, but still an important distinction.

Thus, if you want to find out if a person is an atheist, it seems reasonable that you simply ask them if they are or not.
What is Christianity?
What are Protestants and Catholics?
Is Christianity NOT a belief?
Is there a difference between Catholicism and Protestantism?
Is Christianity NOT a belief in God, and in Jesus Christ and his teachings?
How do you tell if a self-identified Christian is Catholic, Protestant, or "other"?
Does it not make sense to ask them?
Does a good way of determining if a person is a Catholic or a Protestant NOT start with simply asking them?

Theists aren't limited to personal testimony.
OK. So how does one tell is a person is a theist or not -- WITHOUT ASKING THEM? Suppose I just walk down the street, and point to a random person. How are you going to tell if they're a theist without talking to them, emailing them, or otherwise asking them to explain what they believe?

They also have science on their side -- like
how the "Simulated Universe" theory is really
just God under a different name -- and they
have things like miracles. Medical miracles
are the best, of course, because they are
documented by medical science...
What is a miracle?
Is a miracle simply favorable results when faced with a poor prognosis, or is it when someone is misdiagnosed, and told they are going to die, but don't? Or is it when all the scientific evidence of a diagnosis suddenly and inexplicably reverses itself?
I've been told of many medical miracles, but in most cases, people received treatments in the form of drugs, therapy, or surgery, and simply beat the odds. Nobody ever calls it a miracle when someone who is scientifically tested to be completely healthy suddenly dies.

So theists have personal testimony PLUS other
evidence, people pretending oops I meant
"Claiming" that atheists exists have only
personal testimony to go by.
How do you tell the difference between a Democrat and a Republican without asking them to describe what their political beliefs are?

Quick! Deny the obvious! Show how well
adjusted you are by insisting that the
undeniable isn't true!
Far from denying, I am asking you to clarify what you're asking, and asking you to think about what you wrote, to see if you realize the logical mistakes you've made.
JTEM thinks that if you should believe an atheist who tells you he is an atheist, that you must accept personal testimony for anything.

But as we all know, the two categories are vastly different.

A person's beliefs are not subject to demands of proof simply because there is no way to prove one's state of mind. Accepting personal testimony as evidence for one's claims of interaction with a deity of some kind, or some claimed miracle are not the same at all and he knows thins. He's just being an ass.
