"having a hard time defending beliefs" is subjective in regards to whom you are defending against
i can say without shadow of doubt that atheists have little to no problem defending their views on the internet
i just think it's annoying how much it's brought up or seemingly subtley (not really) inserted into otherwise normal discussion
the original post's quote specifically also irked me
great job merciless, i know you don't believe in god
WE GET IT
normally here is where i'd say something about me inserting buddhism into every few posts i make to compensate
BUT THEN I'D BE JUST AS BAD AS THOSE ATHEISTS AND CHRISTIANS AND OTHER OVERLY RELIGIOUS FOLK NOW WOULDN'T I
yall r whack 4 real

If you do believe in making accurate and logical choices, you would simply have to be up in the air about the existence of a deity. It would just be a non-factor in your life until you find something else to reason for or against it.
I don't think anyone here truly makes only accurate and logical decisions. By saying "I don't believe in god or gods", you profess some form of belief (be it a reversal), especially when you preface it with an inaccurate conclusion ("probably")
It's not that you should believe in a deity, but, by your own premises, you should not necessarily discount the idea of one.

I never said that there is no god, and I will not say that there is not one.
My stance on a situation is that it does not exist unless it can be proven. meaning, disbelief until proof or evidence is given. you say
which is true when looking solely at the issue, but if you look at what that issue effects, in this case that countries that have a larger atheist population tend to have less crime, social problems, and an overall better education, your stance on an issue should be swayed.you would simply have to be up in the air about the existence of a deity
lets say that I am an atheist agnostic, meaning don't believe in god, but am open to the idea of one existing. I look at countries with a large religious population, and then I look at countries with a smaller religious population and see that the countries with the overall smaller religious population tend to be more peaceful etc etc etc.
So basically I see that religion is detrimental to a society.
i have come to the conclusion that you have no idea what youre talking about
