why are internet atheists so bad at making arguments

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m pretty sure this is a response to a bad argument.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

first of all what it's responding to is not an argument, it's a motivational quote of some sort. it's cringe trying to counter argue that to begin with.

like do you see people write something like "you only fail when you stop trying" and go "ummm actually the dictionary definition of failing is ..." and go to stupid technicalities about how one can actually fail despite insisting on trying? well this is atheist memes so don't answer.

second of all the main counter argument used for proof of oxygen is that it can be seen in certain situations. which is entirely dumb, because obviously we know stuff can exist and not be seen, so "where's your god photo" is not even a weak counter but an invalid one. ok i guess love doesn't exist because i cant post a photo of it on facebook, checkmate valentine.

If you don't think "you can't see air just like you can't see god" isn't an argument religious people make, you haven't talked to many of them. I've heard that one a lot of times.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

well this dumb comment should've been under one of those arguments then.

I'm atheist and I agree with you.

I think neither the inspirational post nor the answer were too smart. God and oxygen may be as invisible as each other most of the time but I think most people can survive 20 minutes without god.

Then again I don't know what god does in the different religions that is so important to life... If he's important for the creation of life then I guess it makes sense even though he just had to be there 2000 years ago for his week of creation, we don't need him now to keep living. But maybe he is out of time and either always exists, or never does. In that case I guess he would need to exist to be able to have done what he allegedly did back then to give us life.

I know I'm overthinking a quote that's just supposed to ... Well I'm actually not sure what it's supposed to do except convert people to believe in god now that I think about it. But then again I'm high
