Really?
You'll notice that I have not, up to now, chimed in at all. I debate nothing. I am an atheist, and am secure in my lack of belief. Just as, I am sure, you are secure in you belief. And...that's fine. You see, I don't force my lack of beliefs upon you, and I tend to expect the same courtesy. I find it all really rather pointless, actually. Although...I will admit...it's fun to watch.
I have, however, noticed that theists tend to get much more emotional, in their arguments, than do atheists. I find myself wondering why. I mean, if I'm wrong...then all I have to answer to is a god that I don't believe in...right? Why do theists care so much about what I believe, or don't believe. Certainly my lack of belief takes nothing from your belief. Right? Or, perhaps I'm missing something.
Tomorrow, I shall cross the I-480 bridge, from Omaha into Iowa. I will do so, because I see it. I've crossed it before. I know that it is there. I will not try to cross the Missouri River 200 yards to the south of that bridge. I will not do so because I do not see a bridge there. Therefore, I do not believe that a bridge exists there. So, until I see a car mysteriously floating in the air, over the river, into Iowa...I'll stick to the verifiable. I'll leave it at that.
