Yes, it is.
If we don’t see evidence, then clinging onto the concept just because people have believed in it in the past doesn’t make sense.
Because if not for that, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Because we wouldn’t have a concept of there possibly, maybe being a god in the first place.
“I believe there is a god” seems less likely, given the evidence. It only seems equally likely if you arbitrarily put god above everything else. Something someone only does if they think it is important to keep the idea alive.
I personally never said that I think there definitely is no god, so that part is a straw man argument.
It is also not a requirement of atheism, as has been explained to you multiple times. Insisting that your definition is the correct one doesn’t make it so.
Also, why is it not begging the question to say that it is out of our reach?
You say it’s like blind people and colors, but that analogy doesn’t work, because there are people who have seen colors, and can explain how colors work. Do you have a similar example for gods? Are there people who have “seen” gods, so to speak?
Sorry for my very late response.
In your example of color, there are people who can, and people who can’t see colors.
Is there any analogy between that and god belief?
Not just belief, because anyone can believe anything. I mean knowledge, or sensory input.
If no one can sense (detect) deities, then how can anyone say that there is one?
And if we can’t say that there is one, why would it be unreasonable to conclude that there probably isn’t one?
That is all I as an atheist believe. That, lacking any evidence, it seems reasonable to conclude that there probably aren’t any deities.
All this talk about it being beyond our understanding sounds like begging the question if you can’t demonstrate it.
I think you are assuming more than is warranted. Why is it beyond our reach?
There is no precedence for the existence of deities.
For belief in deities, yes, but not for their existence.
That is all we need to say if we believe in the existence of deities; prior plausibility.
Staying in the middle ground of “maybe, we don’t know” makes no sense, because it puts the plausibility one step further towards “yes” than is warranted based on the evidence we have.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that there isn’t even a person on the other end, but instead it’s just an AI.
Looks like it’s two separate projects.
“The Parker’s”.
That is the worse crime.
Intellectual property owners.
When you say “non-political”, what do you mean?
The movie is about national division. I find it strange that any movie could do that without having any politics in it.
Such a good choice!
It reminds me of the Animaniacs reboot. Technically well made, and all the ingredients are there, but the spark is not quite there.
Maybe that was true in the previous reboot as well, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen it.
Does that translate to a 50/50 chance of gods existing?
