Faith is also used to refer to belief without supporting evidence or proof. Skeptical atheism certainly doesn't fit that definition, as skeptical atheism has no beliefs. Strong atheism is closer, but still doesn't really match, as even the most dogmatic atheist will tend to refer to experimental data (or the lack of it) when asserting that God does not exist. 1. God must necessarily be both omniscient and omnipotent. 1a. If God is one; he can make himself the other. If he is neither, he is no God at all. 1b. It is no defense to say that God is somehow "unknowable." If God is unknowable, you can't know he even exists. 2. God must necessarily be Omni-benevolent. 2a. If God is less than all good; he hardly deserves to be worshipped. 3. Both omnipotence and omniscience are contradictory to omni benevolence. 3a. Innocent people endure pointless suffering. (Go to a children's cancer ward, and tell me there's no innocent people who suffer.) 3b. It is no defense to say that god's understanding of good is beyond ours, or god becomes an incoherent concept. 4. Omniscience is inconsistent with free will. 4a. Any god who creates a sentient being out of dirt, knowing the being will be damned to hell, should have left the dirt alone. 4b. It is no defense to say that God is somehow "unknowable." (If god is unknowable, you can't know he even exists). 5. Omnipotence is contradictory to itself. 5a. Could god create a Christian too stupid to educate? << First Page < Previous Page | Next Page > Last Page >>
