    I guess I also have to keep explaining this…

    Atheists do not disbelief what God is, but what they claim God to be

    …that’s why Christians in online circles are clueless about atheists. We don’t claim a god. Christians do (among many other religionist types). The burden of proof is on them. My disbelief in a god is the same disbelief that my refrigerator will decide to wake up, sprout legs, walk out of my house and go live with another family. I make no claim of existence about either.

    And since no religionist in history who does make such a claim of the existence of a god has yet to scientifically, objectively, with peer-review, proven such a deity exists, I have no reason to believe one exists.

      Actually the quote is in reference to how atheist interpretations of the Bible often miss Historical Context or mistake allegory for literal.

      The fact that you misunderstood it kinda proved the point.

      I don’t believe in God either, but I find philosophy and mythology interesting which is why I know this…

      That and a close friend of mine is Catholic.

        You made a statement on how Christians in online circles view atheists. I refute their premise. That’s not misunderstanding. That’s simply stating they are wrong. But it’s cool that you keep fighting for their way of incorrect thinking. I’m sure they appreciate it.

          I’m not defending them, I’m merely pointing out that you are mocking something you don’t understand. I’m not saying Christianity is unmockable, I’m saying, it’s way funnier when you actually know what you’re making fun of.
