Atheism

I accept this debate and wish Tejretics good luck. I am sure this will be a fascinating debate. Clarification: First I would like to remind my opponent and those reading what this debate is not about. This debate is not about the social impact of religion. It is not about the ethics of the Bible or Koran. It is not about religion at all. This debate is simply about the existence of God. That is to say the existence of a “Supreme Being ... includ[ing] attributes of omnipotence, omniscience,…

knowledge of a First Cause or God.”(Agnosticism) religion is often similarly defined as “doctrine or tenets” however with a purely theistic belief, atheism can similarly defined as “doctrine or tenets” but be purely without theistic belief. This way, religion and traditionally non-religious faiths are related. Personally, I see theism, agnosticism, and atheism all as a spectrum of religions however with differing levels of faith with a deity, or “First Cause.” In this way religion is within all…

The Kalam Argument Introduction: In the Kalam Argument, there are some theories that can be used by Christian apologetics to challenge the theories and beliefs of non-believers. The strong points of the Kalam Argument can make good arguments that can be challenging to non-believers. Although there are some good points in the Kalam Argument, there are also a few weaknesses concerning creation and evolutional changes.

Competing World Views “A worldview is the sum total of answers that a person gives to life's most important questions. You take all the big questions in life, and piece them together, and however coherent that system of beliefs are, becomes that person's world view.” Ronald Nash Every individual has a world view, even if that person is unaware of it. Many are dumb-stricken when you tell them they hold a certain world view, and many don't have a clue as to what is a world view. Most people have…

that he was born in the Christian faith (The God Delusion Debate). What I admire the most is that he has the courage to go forward and widen his understanding about the questions that he has in life and about his religion. Hence, leading him into atheism. One of his strong points was, “One of the truly bad effects of religion is that it teaches us a virtue to be satisfied with not…

Since the fall of mankind from the Garden of Eden people have questioned the existence of God, and today that is still relevant and a highly debated topic. There are two types of people in this world; people who believe in God’s existence and people who do not believe there is an almighty God. The people who do not believe in god justify their beliefs by asking if God does exist why is there evil still in the world? Many of these questions will never be answered until we are faced to face with…

In his work, On Being an Atheist, McCloskey attempted to show that atheism to hold more sense and facts compared to Christian beliefs. The large part of his work focused on arguing against the three major proofs that exist among most individuals in the universe today. Through his argument against theistic proofs that include cosmological argument, the argument from design and the teleological argument, McCloskey stated that it is irrational for any human being to live by faith. He goes on to…

Hart, a renowned theologian and philosopher, has accepted the challenge presented by the New Atheist ideals. In Hart’s publication, Atheist Delusions: The Christian Revolution and Its Fashionable Enemies he explains to the reader the falsehood of Atheism and how the rejection of Christianity has negatively impacted humanity. There are four themes that Hart uses to convey this message: Faith and reason in today’s society, Christianity’s influence and misunderstanding throughout the Middle Ages,…

The atheist-theist argument has been an age-long debate. Though it is debated, it does not mean that it is, by any means, a matter of a guess. A theist can have full confidence that God is real, as well as reasonable evidence to reach that conclusion in lieu of the many atheist arguments. In Have Atheists Proved There Is No God by Thomas B. Warren, the reader is introduced to an atheist argument that has been widely used for numerous years and it’s logical implications. In addition to the…
