The problem with arguing about G-d is that His is existence is not falsifiable, meaning that it is impossible to prove he doesn't exist, not because of a lack of evidence, because His existence can't be measured or proven with empirical evidence in the first place. Just as His existence cannot be proven, so too it cannot be disproved. Also, in an argument in which religion is right, there can be no possible eay to prove either side with measurable evidence. In medieval Rabbi Moses Nachmanides had an argument with Pablo Chirstiani about Judaism and Christianity. Both sides claimed they won, but in truth, neither could actually definitively prove either side because their arguments weren't based on measurable evidence.

This sums it up. Don't argue with religious people, it's pointless

Deity is nothing but an abstraction, hence all your points are declared null and void on this notion alone. Deifying an abstraction and the encapsulating ethos created by the dogmas creates a school of thought, that is religion. At its pith, Religion is nothing but a belief for amalgamating people from different sociocultural and ethnic background, and that's exactly what atheism does as well. It shuns religion, hence that alone makes it a belief on the concept of negation.

Wrong. A Diety is, per definition, a God. And though the Christian God is described as being omnipotent and unimaginable, most Dieties are actually quite simple at their core.

That's incorrect at the very core. To not hold belief is, as implied, the lack of belief.

^ Do you even understand the term 'abstract'? The concept of god is completely dependent upon beliefs, as the said entity's existence cannot be measured when it cannot be seen. The statement's incorrect status is your own assumption. Belief is nothing but a mental acceptance of any fact, concept, ideal etc etc. It's not confined to the verges of religion. You will have to be narrow-minded to even forward such a statement.

Its true. There's only one God. People call Him different. And they have their own "way" in worshiping Him. There's how we have alot of religions on this surface of Earth.

But no offense, this is a fact indeed, only one religion is true while the other is all false. How can one religion believe in , for instance, the sun is god while the other religion believe in fire is god and both religion are true. So yes, it is our duty to search the truth. And indeed God will aid those who search for the truth.

Anyway, since we live in multi-religous community.. we all must learn to respect and tolerate one another belief. And this is especially to atheist. I have came across alot of atheist to be disrespect to people's belief. I mean, come on, you believe in what you want and let them believe in what they want. period.

Again, the very definition of belief is that it does not require evidence. When you lack belief in a diety/dieties, you cannot be religious. It's really as simply as that. The very statement that Atheism is a religion is so fundamentally flawed that I'm surprised one who uses such dry technical language would ever forward the claim. Do you, by any chance, study Theology?

I have studied abstract philosophy, mysticism, world religions - predominately Christianity and Islam. Anyhow, this is a long and boring topic, unrelated to this discussion. However, you need to understand the term 'abstract' here.

As long as we agree that Atheism isn't a religion. When we've established that fact; we can get on with actually discussing the topic at hand.

I honestly think reguardless if such a thing does exist its like humans which are known to be flawed are trying to measure something unmeasurable at its core so even if such a thing did exist im inclined to think everyone would be wrong about it due to the sheer fact that we are flawed and are trying to measure something thats not really possible to measure its sorta like that movie lucy declared she had said that we create a scale in order to measure the immesurable scale but the nature of the immesurable scale is just that its immesurable and were flawed like a car moving faster than a frame can trully capture it we have no proof of its existance in the first place i feel religion is like this. We assume what gods or dietys want us to do and what they intend when we trully do not know and then we claim to follow out their will but who actually knows what such a being or object would trully want its immesurable and doesnt really talk to us and even when people claim it does were essentially relying on a random flawed human to tells us what an immesurable being wants which at its very core is unlikely and improbable for many reasons such as getting the message right to begin with or even the method as to how that information was delivered. If someone wants to worship a religion im fine with that i just personally dont see the point within it myself when we could essentially establish the same if not better standards for life on our own and all adhear to that instead of something immeasurable that no one knows what it trully wants simply because we cant measure it.

I look forward to the day humanity rids itself of religions, deities, and mysticism.

Hypocrisy goes both ways. But it's wrong to take away a person's right to believe.

I'm personally an African conscious person, sooo I don't mess with religion and I don't talk about it that much with people because when I point out obvious stuff, they get upset with me so yeah. I'm not a religious person. However, I do respect people's religious beliefs.
