Answer 1

Name some excuses atheists make for their denial in God?



- Thinking, intelligence, reality, zero evidence, things like that.

Answer 2

For me it's mainly just to absolute total lack of anyone producing any kind of display of supernatural forces. You walk into any church and all you see are people standing around praying and singing to a being in an empty room, aside from the people in it. They talk about supernatural magic all the time, but fail to acknowledged the fact it never manifests at any time. If I'm not seeing this magical realm and the beings that supposedly live there, I'm just not convinced it ever existed in the first place. I would say "deny" is a poor term to use, more like not seeing evidence for it in the first place.

Answer 3

Not excuses but true facts and the very real evidence Chrsitianity is entirely false!



The first person to produce a single tiny little piece of verifiable evidence for any god will become world famous and mega rich!



Academia states that in the absence of any sort of evidence of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable evidence is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.



The bible is what is called "Faction” A fictional story set in a factual time and place. Thus the time, place and real historical characters are all correct but the fictional characters and stories are not!



There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!



There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!



He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?



Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!



Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!



At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!



Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?



Christianity is an invention of the Italians and that is why it came from the Holy ROMAN Catholic church!



Please realize that those claims for the Old historians are worthless since they were not even born until long after everyone in the stories would have been so long dead!



Josephus AD 37 – AD 100

Tacitus AD 56 – AD 120

Suetonius - 69 – 130 AD

Pliny the Younger, 61 AD – 112 AD

Justin Martyr (Saint Justin) AD103–165 AD

Lucian - AD 120 -180 AD but he was hostile to Christianity and openly mocked it.

Pamphilius AD 240-309 AD

Eusebius AD 263 – 339 AD

Photius AD 877 – 886 AD



Thallus - But there are no actual record of him except a fragment of writing which mentions the sack of Troy [109 BC] Showing that he was clearly not alive in biblical times.



Some even try to use Seneca. 4 BCE – 65 CE but as a Stoic Philosopher he opposed religion yet made not a single mention of a Jesus or Christianity!



Even funnier is trying to claim Celsus AD ? – 177 AD Who said that Jesus was a Jew who’se mother was a poor Jewish girl whose husband, who was a carpenter, drove her away because of her adultery with a Roman soldier named Panthera. She gave birth to an illegitimate child named Jesus. In Egypt, Jesus became learned in sorcery and upon his return presented himself as a god.

Answer 4

Keep on with your fantasy that agnostics lack rationale for their positions.



And by all means do keep on lying to yourself that making up non-starter idle speculation makes you look even one jot responsible, to say nothing of knowledgeable or wise or Christian.



OH, and keep on, by all means, thinking that anyone cares what you think. That's a really good one.



If you have some rationale for believing in God, let's hear it. If not, the least you can do is be quiet and not clog up the bandwidth with claptrap and nonsense.

Answer 5

What would either the Big Bang theory or evolution have to do with the existence or non-existence of a god, goddess or a group of gods? How is that remotely relevant? I am serious, I cannot understand how any of those could matter?



I do not believe in the tooth fairy. I do not believe in Thor. I do not believe in unicorns. I do not believe in anything supernatural because there is no evidence to support it.

Answer 6

I don't need any excuses to lack belief in 'god(s)' any more than a christian does to lack belief in every single 'god' invented since the beginning of time (with the exception of the one they believe in).



The 'big bang theory' is simply the prevailing cosmological model of the universe, and along with the modern scientific theory of evolution, are attempts to explain the evidence (rather than attempting to make the evidence fit a preexisting narrative).

Answer 7

Did you know that the Big Bang theory was proposed by a Catholic priest?



"We cannot say: creation or evolution, inasmuch as these two things respond to two different realities. The story of the dust of the earth and the breath of God, which we just heard, does not in fact explain how human persons come to be but rather what they are. It explains their inmost origin and casts light on the project that they are. And, vice versa, the theory of evolution seeks to understand and describe biological developments. But in so doing it cannot explain where the 'project' of human persons comes from, nor their inner origin, nor their particular nature. To that extent we are faced here with two complementary—rather than mutually exclusive—realities."

-Pope Benedict XVI

Answer 8

Charles Darwin used his working knowledge of the spontaneous generation theory for his excuse in the denial of the existence of a Intelligent Designer. He was such a smart man.

Answer 9

sigh. Those don't have an effect on why I don't believe in a deity...or any set of deities. It's more philosophical.

As far as science goes, I trust those who have studied the Scientific Theory and know the process 100% more than I do some religi-nut.

Answer 10

We don't have or need any excuses not to believe in a deity. All that's required is a little rational thinking.

Answer 11

Name some excuses that Christians refuse to provide evidence?

Answer 12

Once again, inorder for me to deny God you have to prove his existence. I'm still waiting. Whats your excuse for not providing evidence of Gods existence?

Answer 13

None of that. Simple lack of any evidence that would convince us that an entity can or does exist that violates most if not ALL of the laws of nature as we observe them. Why would ANY rational person believe in something so contradictory to the real world?

Answer 14

Not "in God," but of God's existence." Imprecise language leads to sloppy thinking. Avoid both.

Answer 15

lets suppose that science NEVER existed



so that means no "big bang, no "evolution"



So now I dont believe anything



NOW there are only 2 possible answers to the questions "how the universe,stars/planets/life come to be"



1) "goddidit"

2) I dont know (but at least I am trying to find out)



NOW prove to me "god" is the only possible answer to the questions otherwise I will stick with "I dont know", cos if you cant prove it then why the f//k should I believe it,?

and more to the point - why would YOU believe it?



thats like saying

"I have no proof people live on the sun, I cant prove they dont either, so I must believe they do"

dont you think that would be stupid? - cos I do

Answer 16

I don't deny any gods. I simply don't take your word for it that they are real. And really, that's all anybody has ever given as proof any god exists... just that they say so, or that somebody else said so as well.

Answer 17

There are no gods.

Until you can refute that, you have no point. I don't deny that you pretend god. But I feel no need to pretend anything.

Answer 18

None of the thousands upon thousands of gods mankind has created and worshipped through out our history have ever actually existed.

Answer 19

They are always going on about 'lack of proof', 'no logical explanation', 'no indication of existence', and stuff like that.

Answer 20

God? Capital "G"? Abraham's God? Not only is there no tangible evidence, the entire story is absurd.

Answer 21

Reason objectively applied to evidence supplemented with honesty and integrity can only lead to atheism

Answer 22

Lack of evidence. Theists resorting to ad homs,

Answer 23

Atheism is for grownups. You aren't expected to understand.

Answer 24

Nobody's ever presented evidence for deities, so I can't very well deny them.

Answer 25

The ability to not always want an answer to why the world was created etc. and be content with what we have around us, without asking why.

Answer 26

For me it's that the ones who believe in god are so pathetically stupid that god cannot exist.

Answer 27

There are no excuses only one reason - lack of evidence.

Answer 28

I can't see evidence of God through my blindfold

Answer 29

They deny themselves responsibility to serve others by believing they can only serve themselves to a higher plateau.

Answer 30

#1: there is no god



Actually, given this one, there pretty much isn't a need for another, is there?

Answer 31

Although atheism has been around in formal writing for 2,400 years, the resurgence of the popularity of atheism began with the acceptance and teaching in public schools by the humanist curriculum of millions/billions of years to support the evolution myth. And who is the only group that needs millions/billions of years? Atheist/evolutionists. Ta da, great performance.



It was Charles Lyell, a lawyer-turned-geologist, with his three-volume Principles of Geology (1830–33) who eventually convinced the geological establishment to abandon the biblical Flood in favor of this “principle” he called uniformitarianism. Lyell openly declared that he wanted to remove the influence of Moses (the human author of Genesis) from geology, revealing his motivation was spiritual, not scientific [R.S. Porter, “Charles Lyell and the Principles of the History of Geology,” British Journal for the History of Science, IX, 32 no. 2 (1976): 91–103].



This is where the atheist/evolutionist gets their old age idea, from the unfounded opinion of Lyell, so he could do away with Moses. How many contradictions in circular reasoning is that, let alone unfounded, irrational, illogical, and unsupportable?



This became the foundation for all evolutionary thinking and solid refutation of the Bible for the lazy that don't confirm assumptions, or who have ulterior motive like Lyell to "remove the influence of Moses" and destroy the foundations of the Bible.



The lie of evolution and millions/billions of years became the perfect "excuse", everyone else is doing it, right? Darwin wrote his stupid book called "Origins" but says nothing at all about "origins". How stupid is that; oxymoron. Anyway Darwin and his myths came on the scene about the same time, and the two together cemented a myth, w/o any evidence at all, convenient for the humanist curriculum in schools. Just preach, no facts necessary. What a freaking joke; a bunch of made-up stories from unfounded opinion so atheists can destroy the Bible. Geez, THAT'S your BELIEF? Incredibly bizarre!



You cannot possibly confirm your starting ASSUMPTIONS of evolution because they are made-up stories and you can't validate or confirm a myth with evidence or fact or corroboration of any kind, other than more opinion. So now, you want to talk about WHAT? Wait a minute, you skipped a step, no need to talk about ANYTHING more until you confirm or validate the ASSUMPTIONS OF evolution before we can talk about how something evolved.



Unfortunately for the the lazy wishers and pretenders that form beliefs w/o confirming ANYTHING, this became the perfect "excuse". The irony! Lyell thought highly of Moses; thought literally of him too as a real person to fear. How to discredit Moses? Impossible. Nope, just make Genesis 1-11 and Noah's Flood allegory, insert millions/billions of years, and the deed is done, with no evidence or authority whatsoever; the whole world, every religion, including the Pope, has been hoodwinked by a lie from Lyell, Darwin, and Hume, all around 1850-1860.



Evolution is dead and choking on its lies from within; there is no defending a lie. The atheist deniers are still here though. How else could they become atheist unless they are powerful deniers of reality?

Answer 39

Name some "EXCUSES " Atheist make for their DENIAL in "god" ?



Excuses has several definitions



# 1 To regard or JUDGE with forgiveness with indulgences to PARDON or OVERLOOK

# 2 or a general definition of REASONS for Behaviors



Denial also has several definitions



# 1 a refusal to ACCEPT a past or present REALITY

# 2 in psychology it is defined as a Defense mechanism in which the existence of unpleasant internal or external REALITIES is denied and kept out of the conscious



the CONCEPTS of god and the Assertions and claims are very much in the atheist conscious





The only difference between a Theist and and Atheist is not the word god but the word "REAL" one will agree that one terms ones car as REAL there are characteristics that cause one to label it as REAL



. take a REAL piece of paper and a real pen and draw a line down the center put car on the right side and god on the left and list those characteristic that make the CAR real and a god real .



.. If another human being had NOT told you about a god orally or in writing would you have DISCOVERED the god on your OWN . void of human assertion ?



Where is the SELF EVIDENT god INDEPENDENT of human assertion ? what happens to the IDEAS of gods once man stops asserting those IDEAS or CONCEPTS ?



when humans stop asserting them they are then appropriately labeled MYTHOLOGY



As a CHILD i took great Delight and HUMOR in stories of Leprechauns and fairies and Tinker bell but like the story of Tinker bell when the CHILDREN stop believing Tinker bells twinkling Light fades and she is NO MORE because it was IMAGINED a story



.if I did not Mature and learn how to make that Distribution between the REAL and ideas concept or imagined I would be believing anything ever said as REAL



i may as well sit in front of my TV and watch cartoons and TV shows all day and think puppets can really talk and so can Mr Ed and the tooth fairy really left me a quarter



My NOT accepting claims of god is NOT dependent on Big bang or evolution they stand on their own Merit and EVIDENCE and if one does Not accept them it does not Prove gods



. Something is proven by the SUPERIOR EVIDENCE for the thing one is trying to prove



disproving "A" only disproves "A' is have no effect or relationship on proving " B'



" B' does not become true by DEFAULT " B' becomes true because of Proof of "B'



there were Atheist before the Big bang theory and the present day theory of evolution



on mans time line they are relatively "NEW "



ANAXIMANDER an ancient Greek philosopher (610 - 545 BC ) postulated the evolutionary descent of man from animals



The claims of gods as in the Egyptians 4500 BC so whatever god one is referencing today is also short on the time line . other gods were claimed 3000 years BEFORE Moses supposedly 1550 to 1430 BC pronouncing Yahweh ( a war god picked out of the many gods worshiped in early polytheism of the Hebrew people ASHE-RAH queen of the Heaven was worshiped in temples as demonstrated in the bible verse "LET US make man in OUR image and physical proof of Archeology



this is how the IDEA of gods work person "A" proclaims a idea of a god he convinces masses of people he is special and a god talks to him and then he convinces other of the god he made up and now person "A" gets to make he rules but the god is the product of the MAN who came up with the idea aka a CONCEPT



why is one not worshiping Ashe-rah ? Ra Krishna Hinduism is called the OLDEST religion ( 8000 BC) the world Hindu is derived from the term Sindu ( INDUS) related to the river INDUS and the people side "A" refereed to the people on side "B" as the people on the other side of the river hence the word HINDU the people on side "A' were Turks and Muslims



some place Australian Aboriginal religion as older 45,000 years old per archeology humans do not invent writing until 5200 years ago about 3500 to 3200 BC with Egyptians started hieroglyphics picture writing before alphabets
