Skeptics fight hard against people of faith. Why? What are they afraid of? According to them, there is no God, or Heaven, or Hell. So, what are they afraid of? Why are they trying so hard to make us believe that science has taken the place of God? Why do they get so frustrated when the burden of proof is shifted onto them? Why do they hate God whom they claim never exists? Why?

Skeptics fight hard against people of faith. Why?

If you thought that a lie was pervading your culture, one that so often attempts to change the law in harmful ways, wouldn't you fight against it too?

Why are they trying so hard to make us believe that science has taken the place of God?

If you saw that over and over and over and over things which had been attributed to god were found to have natural, scientific explanations, wouldn't you try to share that information?

Why do they hate God whom they claim never exists? Why?

Why did people who watched Game of Thrones hate King Joffrey so much?

P.S. When you said "skeptics", you were actually talking about atheists and i'll be happy to explain why if you disagree😉👍

That's why we're here, to fight against the lies of men and Satan.

I share the information that those natural things attributed to nature was created by Yahweh.

Why did people who watched Game of Thrones hate King Joffrey so much?

If you could know Yahweh on personal basis like we do, you'd find that He is nowhere near like this King Joffrey. Yahweh is not a dictator like you think He is.

Then you understand the motivation of the atheist. That's why we're here: to fight against the lies of theism which seek to take rights and freedoms away from all our citizens.

Your question is answered.

You share your opinion that the natural world is created by a god. And yet we see repeated throughout history that thins once attributed to a god are found to have natural explanations: lightning, floods, disease. When humanity didn;t understand these things we called them acts of god. Now we know that there is no need for a supernatural explanation because these things are explained through natural, scientific means.

Your question is answered.

If you could Yahweh on personal basis like we do, you'd find that He is nowhere near like this King Joffrey.

Maybe, maybe not. But that is utterly unrelated to the point i was making.
You asked why people might hate a person who they don't believe exists. I gave you an example of people hating a person who you would agree does not exist.

Your question is answered.

Atheists have no motivations, they're dead in the ground.

You share your opinion that the natural world is created by God.

It's not just my opinion, it's the Truth which God, Yahweh, has already proven to all of mankind.

Maybe, maybe not

No maybes about it.

Wrong. And if you would like to contest the fact that there exist living atheists then i would be only too happy to post my deconstruction of your argument.
Put up or shut up.

As for the rest, i have answered the questions you posed. Your choice to ignore those answers and focus instead on repeating that your position is fact serves only to demonstrate that you actually had no interest in honest answers nor discussion.

@Pikachu

Wrong.

Prove it.

Pikachu

@GodSpeed63

Prove it.

As i said, i'm happy to😏.
Let's see if you manage a rebuttal this time...

Atheists have no motivations, they're dead in the ground.

An atheist is someone who does not believe or disbelieves in the existence of a deity. That’s it.
Many such living people exist.
No matter how you attempt to distort the meaning of the word (and you must, since no definition supports the idea that an atheist believes in a god) it does not make atheists any less of a real thing.

Maybe you'd like to say that people replace god in their lives with false idols like money or sex or pride.
Sure, fine. Whatever.
But those people still do not believe that those things are deities. They do not ascribe to them agency or will and so they remain atheists.
Simple as that.

If you believe otherwise, then I invite you to describe the ways in which money or sex can be said to have the attributes of a god.

Give it your best shot😁😁😁

Won't wash. Atheists are dead in the ground. Skeptics are dead above ground and as long as they're physically alive, they'll believe in some type of dummy god and have faith.

@GodSpeed63

Me: you're wrong for this reason and this reason and this reason
You: *repeats claim with no rebuttal or elaboration*

lmao😂 That was your best shot?
Beautiful.
Thank you for confirming for our audience how feebly you defend your absurd fantasy definition of atheist.
And i'll just keep embarrassing you like that every time you make that claim.

Can't you come up anything better than make yourself look like a fool? Try again, and this time, talk like you know something will you?

Pikachu

@GodSpeed63

lol ooo looks like that one got under your skin.
Too bad.
You brought no rebuttal and not even an elaboration. You just said "nu UH and then repeated your delusion". Your humiliation is entirely of your own creation.
Feel free to actually respond to the argument i made.
But we both know you can't and won't be doing that, don't we little buddy?😁

@Pikachu Debate and logic are not his strengths.

Pikachu

@Bushranger

lol that's stating it charitably😉

Dream on.

@Pikachu @Bushranger

Nope. Just pity you is all.

Bushranger · 70-79, M

@GodSpeed63 Ah, more rhetorical genius.

Pikachu

@GodSpeed63

*yawn*

Sure bud. I too usually say stuff like "can't you do better than make yourself look like a fool" when i'm feeling pity rather than frustration😏👍

Won't wash.
Next time you make your claim, be better prepared to defend it.
Or don't because every time you back down from me, you demonstrate better than any argument i could make how frail and facile your little pet definition is.
