Satanic! To the gulag.

But, but...

There was a firefight!

Not yet. But they're hard at work making it happen.

So, protestant?

Yup! People will have no job because of this. The least they can do is be honest and unambiguous.

Does that translate to a 50/50 chance of gods existing?

Fun is, depth isn't.

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?

Fair enough.

It tends to lead to hyperactive minds...

Citation need, I think.
