Is atheism the default position?

@ Riley34234398 Stop? when the storm approaches you don't stop and look - you smile at it. already i know they won't listen so i'll play the storm!

To what purpose , May I ask what you had in mind when you come upon this forum?

[Emily]

@ Emily how can i abide by the rules when no one listens except accusing me of this or that. I asked them if they have a question, by all means, ask - but instead they are quick to accuse than observe.

Because you don't listen. Really, it's not that hard. Treat others how you want to be treated. I mean, read Matt 7:12. Here, I'll help you..

12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

 Hey dude, you brought this on yourself. And calling them glo-balls isn't helping. Sorry, dude. Honestly, you don't deserve to be a part of this forum if you tread the members, the board mods, the global mods and the admins in such a way.

...you did provide a lot of humor, though. Thanks for that.

[Alzael]

although i know i'm gonna be banned eventually when one of the glo-balls enters i will stay until the end!

Perhaps, we'll see about that when the globals actually get here. As for right now I am giving you full notice that as of this point any post you make that is not either on the topic of the thread, or in direct response to the questions or points raised by other members will be removed.

Members, don't provoke him. Stick your comments to on topic issues as well.

where's the love, Lance? What would Jesus do?

Whips?  Joh 2:15, Heb 2:6, Luk 12:47.

Well, Riley, you certainly got an eyeful of what some Christians are.  I'm kinda sorry that you had to see Lance, but hopefully you'll see him as an object lesson and another reason that I do wonder about a god that would allow this nonsense to occur if he did care about his followers like he supposedly used to in the bible.

Another great example of how some people just can't seem to communicate well with others, despite their disagreements.  And stored on these pages for others to read and consider.

Now now, Caveat.  Remember:  Thou shall not TEST the lord![1]

1.	And by "test", we mean as in "requires god to exists in order for the results to occur".

How anybody can deny that atheism is the default position is absolutely beyond me! I think there comes a time in people's lives when difficulties arise and they become conscious of their own mortality. The ego feels threatened, wishful thinking arises and man creates "God" in his own image. This skyhero is going to make everything okay, wipe all those tears from your eyes, heal you from your pain and torture your enemies. This childish mentality gets solidified in the minds of believers/dupes when in the company of other believers/dupes. I've done it myself but I had to admit I'd been hoodwinked

If atheism  is the default position, wouldn't the majority of the human species throughout history be atheist. What if the idea of a god is subconscious in nature. That until you teach yourself otherwise, a belief in a higher power makes allot of sense.

[Azdgari]

There is a difference between a philosophical default position, and a position to which we tend to adhere by default.  Atheism is the former, not the latter.
