Atheist: My soldier shot your soldier, your soldier died.
Theist: Well my soldier dodged all the bullets.
Atheist: You cant do that.
Theist: Yes I can.
Atheist:Then my soldier throws a grenade at your soldier, now your dead.
Theist: My soldier blocked it.
Atheist: My soldier calls an air strike on your soldier, he gets bombed and dies.
Theist: He kicks away the bombs before they blow up.
Atheist:Fine, then I nuke you. You die.
Theist: I make the bomb not go off.
Atheist: I retreat, this makes no sense and isnt fair.
Theist: My soldier shoots bullets that are unblockable, unstoppable, and have to kill you. You die.
Atheist: What? No, i retreat, I wasnt going to fight you anymore.
Theist: See? I win.

In point of fact there is no argument. Atheists to not believe in the current god de jour because there is insufficient evidence supporting the existence of said god. Anything that can be explained in terms of god or the gods can be explained by natural causes. God exists in the gaps in our knowledge. With the passage of time the gaps grow smaller and narrower. God is a placeholder for our ignorance. And there is no doubt we are ignorant of many things.

I am prepared to be wrong.

If death is the end, fine. If death isn't the end, fine.

But please, please just let me dream my dreams. :wink:
