Are you Atheists willing to flirt with the idea that The Almighty does exist ?

Question

I was just wondering. I mean millions upon people in this
world can't be wrong. For no reason. How can a mass
number of human beings believe in a deity, they have
never seen you ask ? Through internal spirituality. Having
a change of heart, mind, soul. A deep resolve and
commitment. With Revelations, divine intervention. While
realizing that you are moving in the Spirit. And not in the
flesh, or by any other logical action or intent. Only a purpose.
Many do question your superficial state of mind. Because that
is what it is. Without reason. And for every action there is
a reaction. Nothing cannot create something. So are you
willing to flirt with the idea that The Almighty does exist ?
Best answer wins. ~~~ =)

Hey ADA. Obviously, you are just
as obsessed with me. I am the

Good, you love me. Wise up. =)

Ha, ha, ha. That is funny. Thanks for your
answer.

Answer 2

no I will not flirt with you....

and your "millions can't be wrong" theory doesn't hold any water...

millions of people can't be wrong that you are incorrect in your belief either, right?

millions of people believe their religion is correct, and therefore yours is wrong...

Answer 3

Not until I see proof. Period.

.

Answer 4

I would flirt with the almighty though...

Answer 5

Yeah, Odin is real.. Ya got me.

Answer 6

Sure, I entertain it all the time, but continually are forced to reject it because of the lack of tangible evidence and the fact that all Gods and Myths share exactly the same ingredients and results.

For thousands of years a majority of mankind believed that the best way to stop a volcano from erupting was to throw a virgin into it. The majority was wrong.

Now a majority believe that the blood of a half God, half man and his human sacrifice will lead to eternal paradise.

Its really not that different, both involve human sacrifice to appeas the Gods and bring salvation.

Answer 7

if she pretty

Answer 8

Actually millions can absolutely be wrong. And for the record an atheist is anyone with a lack of belief in deities and not necessarily a belief in lack. I point that out because it sounds like you don't really know what the word atheist means.

As an atheist from the basic meaning of the word "not theist" I make no claims about deities. Maybe they do maybe they don't but no human has or can present evidence of one.

"are you willing to flirt with the idea that The Almighty does exist ?"

Sure it's been flirted many times by me. But I still have no belief in deities. You know you're going to get the reverse asked to you, right?

Your post is presumptuous, your conclusions wrong and your logic flawed.

Answer 9

If I was willing to dedicate a portion of my life to christianity precisely proportionate to the overall probability of it being correct..... I would be christian for less than a femtosecond....


Afterall... the more complex and "in need of a creator" you think the world to be, the more complex the creator itself needs to be to make that stuff.... and consequentially the more in need of a yet more complex creator that creator itself is. And we have infinite regression.
Nasty stuff.

Furthermore, given that the evidence in its favour is precisely zero..... and thus equal oppurtunity would have to be given (in the name of fairness) to all other options with zero evidence in their favour..... we're talking about one possibility amongst a theoretically infinite number.... The probability of it being true and the rest wrong is about one over infinity... which tends, mathematically, toward zero.

Answer 10

Not as a conscious being and yes, millions of people CAN be wrong.

Answer 11

I was in christian church for 30 years. I've been brain fcked enough.

Answer 12

Why can't millions of people be wrong? They've been wrong before.

Answer 13

No.
"millions upon people in this world can't be wrong."
First of all, that makes no sense, and secondly, what about the millions of atheists? How can they all be wrong?

Answer 14

Been there, done that. Felt it was stupid to worship something that doesn't exists.

Had to take a lot of heat from my friends and family when I went atheist, though.

Answer 15

I am interested in the concept of Theism and I enjoy reading about theology. I do not think I will ever believe there is a God, nor will I ever really 'flirt' with the idea.
But nonetheless, I find it very interesting that so many people believe in God.
You say millions of people can't be wrong, but there are millions of atheists too and someone must be wrong.

Answer 16

Millions and millions of people CAN be wrong. Remember when we all thought the world was flat? Or 6000 years old? But yes, I do consider it to be a tiny possibility that god exists, but this possibility is so small that I don't really think it is worth thinking about.

Answer 17

"I mean millions upon people in this world can't be wrong"

Riiiiiiiigght. They used to think that the Earth was flat and it revolved around the sun too. But hey, millions upon millions of people can't be wrong right?

Answer 18

Millions of people can't be wrong? Well since millions of people all believe in different religions, someone has to be wrong. Thats like saying since theres millions of athiests they cant be wrong, cause theres millions of them?

Answer 19

zulu, what is your obsession with us?

Answer 20

"I mean millions upon people in this
world can't be wrong"

Billions, but you all believe in a vast array of different gods, most mutually exclusive due to different attributes.

And you are mistaken if you think it is about seeing - I can't see atoms with my naked eye but I know they exist. Same for a planet circling around Betelgeuse minor.

Zero evidence for the existence of any of the thousands of gods in human history, and lots of evidence to suggest they are nothing but primitive superstition - an attempt to explain the strange and often harsh things found in nature and perhaps gain a measure of control over them.

Source(s):

So no, thanks. Are you willing to consider that a "feeling" and wishful thinking are not exactly good reasons to assume something exists?

You question my superficial mind - I question your critical thinking skills.

Answer 21

(1) Mass delusion is not a good reason for belief in deities.

(2) Superficial state of mind? Obviously, you have not met me. Perhaps you've never met any atheists in person. In my experience, it's rare to find an atheist with a superficial state of mind.

Answer 22

No.

Answer 23

Millions of people can't be wrong? There are over a billion atheists. By your logic, both atheists and theists must be right. And since each position contradicts the other (and by the law of noncontradiction something cannot be both true and false) your argument leads to a logical contradiction. Therefore your premise that millions of people can't be wrong must be false.

And you follow up your appeal to popularity by referring to some subjective experiences (which have been reported by members of contradictory religions, so I could use almost the same reductio ad absurdum proof to show that your premise is again false) and a strawman argument about 'nothing' creating something, which would make your god impossible anyway.

Answer 24

There are billions of Buddhists, are they wrong? There are billions of Muslins, are they wrong?

Answer 25

Millions have to be wrong, either the atheists or the theists!

Why do theists keep stating "You cannot create something from nothing" Atheists know that! The problem is that you don't seem to understand that there was never nothing!

People believe because of indoctirnation. It is an outrage that people are made to live in fear of a non existent deity!

Thanks,

Answer 26

Are you willing to flirt with the idea that Mithra, or Zeus, or the Tooth Fairy does exist? No, thought not.

There was a time when millions of people believed the world was flat. Every single one of them was wrong!

Answer 27

"millions upon people in this world can't be wrong"

Well, darling, there are so many things that could disprove your above statement. Do you remember learning that people used to think the world was flat and would fall over the edge if getting too close? Enough said about that.

While I'm not Atheist, I'm not Christian either. Do I believe that your God exists? Yes. Do I base my beliefs on your God? No.

You seem to want to make this into a black/white issue. It's not.

I'm guessing that you would say that my Gods don't exist, but yet the book that is a major part of your religion says otherwise. What it comes down to is that other Gods do exist, but you just don't follow them.

You say that people who don't believe as you do have a "superficial state of mind." But the thing is everyone has their own personal views on what God (or Gods) is. Each person's experiences shape that view and therefore can not be the same. Similar, yes. Same, no.

For that reason, everyone's (including yours) religious proclamations are somewhat superficial because there are only so many bridges that words can cross. Words are an imperfect way to explain religious experience.

Answer 28

No. They would not be an atheist, they would be agnostic.

Answer 29

"I mean millions upon people in this
world can't be wrong."

By that reasoning you could say that Muslims, Christians, and Jews all can't be wrong.

Even though they contradict each other.

You really haven't thought this through very carefully have you??
