"His teacher asked him why did he say such a thing?, and he said, “Because the answers are the ones I believe them to be, and I have a constitutional right to my opinion.”
Except math isn’t an opinion.
"I have the right to my opinion and you have the right to yours.”
I disbelieve your thought experiment. I taught my kids that you have a right to your own opinion, but not your own facts.
“If you say my answers are wrong, you are judging me.”
That’s her job.
“Judge not lest you be judged.”
Why would the son of atheists quote the Bible?
“The riddle is this: Who is right, Johnny or his teacher? Is there an atheist who can solve this riddle?”
It’s his teacher. Your story problem sucks.
“You see, in order to prove that God does NOT EXIST,YOU MUST EXPERIENCE IT as a fact PERSONALLY!”
I don’t claim that i can prove God isn’t real. I just state that all the piss-poor arguments i’ve seen for gods have not convinced me that gods are real.
“THE EVIDENCE IS ON YOU NOT ME, YOU AS AN ATHEIST ARE THE EXPERIMENT THAT WILL ONCE AND FOR ALL PROVE THAT GOD ISN’T THERE!”
No, sweetie, the BURDEN of evidence is on you for your positive claim.
“So if God does not EVER INTERVENE IN YOUR LIFE BY OTHERS,”
Other people, who exist, have intervened in my life. I see no reason to think any gods made that happen, no.
“THROUGH HIS WORD”
Meh. God lists prohibitions but the Faithful either ignore it or rationalize the reason they don’t have to pay attention to that rule… Never had anyone just about to rob me suddenly stop and quote the Ten Commandments.
“OR BY NATURE’S WITNESS,”
I have no idea what you mean by Nature’s Witness intervening in my life. Sounds like coincidence?
“THEN AND ONLY THEN CAN YOU PERSONALLY SAY GOD DOES NOT EXIST—..HAVE YOU DONE THAT?”
I don’t say that.
“Have you found ANY evidence that is above & beyond all mention of God anywhere in History—..EVER?”
That’s just it, the claim of gods is non-falsifiable. You fucks can always attribute even random coincidence to divine action. It just doesn’t make a compelling argument to me.
“Has there been no intervention at any time in your life by a loving God—something you cannot explain naturally?”
No.
“word”
Um.. Excel?
“Today, I make a perpetual, boast before all atheists, agnostics and non believers, which I challenge particularly the most educated of them to match.”
God DAMN i really want to take a red pen to your entire post. Why is there a comma after perpetual?
“The boast is this: The grace I have received from God Most high, the faith I have in Him and the holy principles of God I seek to exalt and live by have placed me in an infinitely superior and blessed position than any atheist, agnostic and non believer is in, I AM NOT BETTER THAN YOU; BUT I AM MUCH BETTER OFF THAN YOU.”
And your shit doesn’t stink, either. Bet you pee cream, too, huh?
This boast is really not anything that’s going to convince me you know what you’re talking about.
