Re: So why don't atheists proselytize?
Because it's impossible to have a rational discussion with religious people.

Public education, not cramming things down student's throats since 1927.It's simple... they don't believe it's right to cram their own personal beliefs down other people's throats, like morons that belong to silly cults/religions.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Most people who believe in God, believe that He doesn't arrive through physical processes (but rather, defined them/imagined them) so most of your stated reasons for your thoughts about God, Mike, just don't make sense.
God is, for most, inherently a metaphysical discussion.

The Christian (and most major religions) definition of God is inherently not one that can be probed with our scientific abilities.Originally posted by MikeH View Post
That is why it is not a scientific debate. There are no handles.
I will agree that some descriptions can be disproved... for example, with a time machine Christianity could be disproved.
But as for the existence of God, no. I don't see how it would be possible or a reasonable area of (scientific) discussion.
Even if we found aliens that said that they communicated with Moses et al. and started our religions/etc, wouldn't provide any evidence that God doesn't exist. It would just destroy credence in some religions.

I think he dosen't really grasp human nature. Its perfectly possible to simultaneously to believe two or more contradictory things. Or even blatantly false things.Originally posted by Kuciwalker View Post
To quickly disprove him, the illusion of group think can easily be used to convince a individual to believe something that is false. And we can actually check this.

Yeah its its like someone claiming "you can't prove its certain that group differences exist, all the evidence presented merely points to the fact its likley so until you find a way to prove I'll continue to believe in perfect biological egalitarianism because to do otherwise is immoral and would cause people to behave badly.
