Scientists discover that atheists might not exist, and that’s not a joke

Then show how it applies to human superstition. Skinner, like you, was an atheist, who had a problem with the notion of God. He is the one that said "Give me a child, and I will shape him into anything".

It is quite easy to condition animals, and people when it comes to sense deprivation, especially food. When their only sourse of food comes from you, you will eventually get them to do anything they're capable of.
Skinner, conditions his subjects in that way.

This has been Jan's MO (not listening to what atheists say) for far too long, imo. He has created a strawman atheist to argue against, irrespective of what is being said by the atheist he's discussing with. And yes, he's reverted (again for far too long, imo) to the dismissive line of "you would say that, because for you there is no God" or similar. There is no furthering of discussion in that response of his. And if those responding to Jan, or to any other theist, were simply to say "well, you would say that, because you believe in God" then the thread, the discussion, gets nowhere.

 

Then is it wonder that religion over centuries of indoctrination and conditioning has shaped belief in a non-existent being named God?

btw, what religion do you belong to, Jan? Or how would describe yourself?
So as to make the question fair, I'll reciprocate in advance.
I see myself as a Metaphysical Humanist. Me being an Atheist is purely incidental.

 

Firstly, God, is your God, as well. Just because you deny, and reject God, doesn't mean you are actually without God. Secondly, God doesn't need promotion, although, both atheist, and theist, do a good job of promotion.
Thanks.

You're right, it is interesting.
I'm beginning to understand how foolish atheism is.

By depriving them of food?

I would call that a start. Now if Jan could explain why he thinks atheism is foolish, we might be able to help him along the path of serious inquiry into the Nature of Nature.

 

I'm not discussing religion. If I was though, I would start of by discussing yours. As for God being non-existent? I get it, your an atheist, which means for you, there is no God.

Not yours.

A theist.

What's the name of that religion?

Jan.

 

Yes.
Here's a video to help you along.

He probably has psychological issues.
Why would anyone request a child, and boast he can turn he/she into anything he desires?

Atheist findings, no doubt.

Watch, and listen to, the video.

Jan.

 

Unfortunately, you aren't.

"The fool has said in his heart, there is no God."

Jan.

 

So you accept the pigeon was trained to act like that. Good.

But they use that idea, when they slaughter million of innocent people, just so they can create their version of paradise. In a ridiculously small amount of time.

I'm discussing atheists.

The wise, though, are not supposed to bear false witness.
The fool is at least not sinning. The OP author is.

And the question of how far you push that is coming up center: are you misrepresenting your ideas, as well as other people's? Are you bearing false witness against yourself as well?

One can't help but notice that - like a stereotypical swindle pusher - you avoid going into detail or rational defense of your own thinking, or bringing attention to it. You use every question, every issue, as footing for some kind of attack, to direct attention away.

You are not discussing anything.

How so?

How far I push my sinning?
Isn't this religious language?
Isn't this what the article pertains to?
Find your own atheist expressions, don't borrow from the Christian world view.
If you can.

I do, but you don't listen. You are too busy defending your delusion. I use that term in the spirit of the article. But I am beginning to notice how deluded, explicit atheists (at least) are.

Atheists don't attack theists, do they.
Nooooooooo....!

No atheist has attacked me, in this thread. Have they?
Nooooooooo...!
