^ I don't know why he is saying Buddhism falls under atheism

as for other issues I'm not going to debate anymore.

Because some forms of Buddhism do.
Here, read the first part of this.


At least give us your proof that god doesn't exist, seeing as you're so adamant that your belief is the only possibly valid belief.

you cant get legit proof that god does or doesnt exist it's just what people want to believe in (hense the world believe)

Alright, so I was talking to my Aunt the other day and we were on her way to her house and I forgot and showed her an atheist joke meme from someone I follow on Facebook, his name is "God" lol... Anyways it showed jesus with a DJ board thing and it said

"Watch me resurect"

"These fresh beats"

Or something like that, she told me it was scary to her that I wasn't religious anymore. I said I was sorry for being offensive I didn't mean to do that and I gave her my reasoning (by first asking permission to share as to not offend)

I told her, that I thought about the things Americans believe that already contradict what it says in the holy book, millions of Christians believe in the big bang which in the old church would have been called blasphemy. The Church recognized the possibility of life outside earth, for gods sakes (no pun intended) we are all atheists already, believing in aliens and exploring space we devout far more time in our daily lives to technology than religion.

So I told her, I was already an atheist at heart. I learned about evolution, it made sense. I learned about the big bang theory, it made sense. I learn about physics and mathematics and chemistry. It all makes sense.

Ok first i want to say that i came in to this discussion misunderstood. i thought you had said atheist is the default or something. That being said, i would like to rephrase my first reply as well. I meant that science is used to glorify God which in a way can be used to to attempt to prove his existence(but let's not go there). Second, you say that because you believe in these things you are an atheist, and that isn't correct. There are Christians who believe all those things and still CLAIM to be Christians or other religions.

I told her that I thought religion was just the way we could explain science back in those days, I mean look at the early Romans and Greeks why is it so ridiculous to believe those religions but it is perfectly rational to believe in Catholicism?

There is truth in what you say here. Many religions did try to understand the world through their religions and what their leaders said. And it's ridiculous to believe in those religions because there is practically no good evidence to support their gods' existence. and now that we know these things like the sun isn't a god or the the rain and all that doesn't come because you sacrifice your child on an altar. We can say that they are simply not true. And the reason i think Catholicism is rational is because of the bible. it's a book with good evidence to back it's legitimacy.I'm sure there are more reason for the rationale but I'll stop there.

What about 700,000,000 Hindu people that believe in something completely different? How can we say they are wrong and we are right even though we have relatively the same amount of evidence supporting both religions? How did we ever know we were right other than the fact our parents told it to us as fact, not faith?

I don't know much about the hindu or their religions so i can't say anything here. Saying how could we ever know we were right other than what are parents told us is going a bit too far. This is essentially how knowledge is passed down is it not? Anyways i don't really understand that question.

So my question is, has Atheism really just become normal? Are Christians really Christian? Or are they all in denial?

Atheism the new norm?
i assure you I am Christian and am in no denial.

I believe religion and science can coexist.
