Atheists in the house I invite you all to give me logical and compelling reasons as to why atheism is the correct worldview.

Thank you.

how do you mean "correct worldview". if you're looking for "worldview" then atheism should be eliminated from the list as atheism is NOT a worldview

ATHEISM a world's view?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm that's the voice of the spirit not of humans. Because you spoke with accuracy what's happening in the world today!

Indeed atheism is the world's view but you need more enlightenment before you can substantiate this fact logically. For your information 99.9999% of the world's population are atheists but are blind to this truth! 2Corinthians 4:4 smiley

My brother.. The beautiful thing about atheist is, you don't need to worries about you going to heaven or hellfire. You don't need to pray to any imaginary sky dady, you are free from every mental slavery.

an atheist is someone who doesn't believe any god exists. full stop. it's not a worldview. my personal worldview is that belief in god(s) has either no benefit to the human race or is very harmful.
I use the word "god" to represent a supposed creator who interferes with the affairs of men. the deist god is excluded from this

since you don't believe in God then how do you make sense of existence?

do you at least believe that there are spirits among us?

spirits? they exist in bottles, are intoxicating and can be used to clean wounds. they are among us. if you're talking about invisible entities that wander about like lost children in a fictional dimension then I'd say no. there's no good evidence they exist

The existence of God shouldn't be argued with theory...
It should be more of practical...and it has been more of practicals.
God exist, spirits exist, demons exist...
But they interfare with the affairs of men when they are invited, knowingly or ignorantly.

So you believe this world is purely physical and there are no spiritual aspects to this world?

What do you have to say about ritualists.

Do you at least believe in rituals?

Because they sacrifice their victims to spirits.

they sacrifice their victims, that's the only true thing we know. that there's spirits somewhere taking the sacrifice (s) has no evidence to back it up

Don't you think they would have stopped ages ago if what they're doing doesn't work?

The fact that this practice has continued for centuries doesn't that tell you something?

Not necessarily. Many things continued for thousands of years that were false - worship of gods like Zeus, etc and miracles by them, world was flat and center of the universe for thousands of years, etc.

On the other hand, hopefulLandlord and kingxsamz, how do you explain the following?:

Humans are literally bags of meat in the universe. No one has the power to do anything. You can't outsmart or break the laws of the universe. You can't make money appear out of thin air, you can't fly from one place to another without the help of modern technology which enables you to fly. You can't disappear, you can't die and come back to life, no matter the amount of women's underwear and menstrual pads you steal, money cannot fall from the sky because of you. You can't do anything extraordinary. Anything you do can be explained logically. Humans are smaller than a spec of dust in the universe, what makes you think they have the power to break the laws of the universe? There's no God/gods, there are no witches, spirits, ghosts, unicorns or whatever bullcrap one might think of. These are just human ideas.

Try to find out what?
Spirits, ghosts, witches, gods? Wide spread rumors?
Do you believe in fairies, unicorns, leprechauns, elfs and flying deers? If no, have you tried to find out these things for yourself? (based on your logic).
One can't be looking for what's not there. Let the ones who claim these things exists prove it.
Check my old posts back in 2017, I used to insult atheists, now I'm one. I hated how their truth hurts. The fact that you're asking questions already shows you're having doubts about your beliefs.

Let me tell you of an experience i had a while ago.

One night after i had my bath i lay down on my bed to sleep.

The lights were off and i was the only one in the room.

After lying down for about 10 minutes or so something happened... something i can never forget.

All of the sudden from out of nowhere i felt somebody rub my shoulder (in the same way a lover would rub your shoulder... romantically)

I screamed and jumped out of my bed.. and when i turned on the torch to look i saw that there was nobody there.

But till this day i am convinced that somebody touched me that day... i can never forget and have never forgotten.

Ever since that day i have been aware of the fact that we are not alone on this earth... there are people with us that we just can't see with our natural eyes... real people... invisible people

What do you have to say about this my experience?
