"What sucks the most is we can't make this argument back..." I don't think that's the thought process of a lot of atheists on the internet.

Atheists: all we have in common is that we dont believe in a god or gods, we dont need to bandwagon on someone else's rhetoric, amirite? The facts dont care if people believe in them, the universe, the entire fucking cosmos, the billions of stars around our tiny blue dust speck, they dont care if some close minded anti-science douche thinks they were created 6,000 years ago when there is incredible amounts of evidence to the contrary. so why should we?

Because, often times, anti-science people homeschool their children and teach them that the Earth is 6000 years old and block out anything that tells them otherwise. Also, they try to make schools teach this bullcrap.

Ultimately what does that matter? When a majority of people know differently and the evidence is in your favor. It's nigh impossible to teach those crazy people differently and as for the teaching it in public schools; that is a problem and must not be allowed to happen but other than that, creationist crazy peeps don't really matter.

That's actually very true. When a Christian tries to convert an atheist, it's because the Christian believes he "is doing God's work" or is attempting to "get into Heaven" or is even concerned for an atheist's impending doom in Hell. Basically, the person's beliefs give him an incentive to actively convert atheists. However, an atheist trying to convert a Christian is actually really pointless. The only reason why an atheist would want to convert a Christian or beat a Christian in an argument, would be to make himself feel smarter or more important. They have nothing to gain from it, rather than the satisfaction of proving how they were right. --which is actually the very reason why so many "reddit atheists" even care so much about bashing Christianity.

And we can't make an argument for our religion without people saying we are shoving it down their throats. Don't try to poke holes in my beliefs and I won't in yours. It goes both ways.

Are you trying to imply that Christians don't believe in science? The only Christians who don't believe the assorted scientific discoveries are hardcore Creationists, which are a very small percentage of Christians. So for you to say Christians in general is somewhat offensive. In addition, I absolutely **hate** it when atheists try to use science to support their belief that there is no God. What in science actually provides concrete evidence, or "proof," that there is no God? Please tell me. Is it that there are stars? Oh, yup. That definitely means there is no God. Oh, it must be because of evolution, right? Wrong again. Only Creationists disregard the idea of evolution, which I have already stated are an incredibly small percentage of all Christians. So, for you to use science as proof of your unbelief makes absolutely no sense. Science neither supports the evidence of a God, nor does it contradict the existence of a God. Also, according to catholic.com, it is written that science and evolution actually coincide with the Catholics' religious beliefs. I don't know, I just think it's rather interesting that the Catholic Church embraces both of these concepts, which so ...

many atheists use as proof of an absence of a god. Also, referring specifically to OP, at least atheists have evidence of what? Science? Yes there is evidence of science... Or are you saying that you have evidence that there is no God? Because last time I checked, there is not one aspect of God that science has proven to be wrong. Regardless of whether you use science as the reason for your atheistic views or not, there is no concrete proof that God doesn't exist, so atheists are basing their own beliefs completely off of faith as well. You //believe// that there is no God, but you do not //know// that there is no God. Just like I //believe// there is a God, but I do not know for certain.

I'm not Atheist because of science. I'm Atheist because I've always had doubts in Christianity. That's just the way I was born. My point was that when Theists start arguing to an Atheist that because science isn't perfect, there is a god, is stupid. Both sides are not 100% certain, but what I was saying was that it is just as stupid for them to say they're wrong when they don't have proof. Atheists don't have any evidence either, but in my (biased) opinion most science points to Atheism being true. ( I would like to emphasize that I said we had a 'little' evidence) Anyway I think we should all just not argue about this stuff because people really are born with what they believe in.
