Atheism 101 Critical Thinking Class Exercise, by request!

[Goblinmonger]

13. 2 things and then I think I'm done with you if you don't actually respond to what I am saying

1. I don't even have to get to your silly logical construct to know you are off base. You say this:

the context of what atheism implies and atheists believe

and the problem is that in order to be an atheist you don't have to believe anything. Actually, the definition of atheists is that they lack a belief in a god. That is it. So it isn't even your major premise that is flawed, it is the assumption you make as you start into constructing your "logical" argument.

2. YOUR MAJOR PREMISE IS FLAWED. You have never addressed this. Do so now. If not, it will become even more clear that you are not truly interested in engaging in discussion about the issue but instead want to convince everyone of how awesome you are while refusing to listen to those that disagree with you (which, btw, should mean that you will fit in quite nicely with those theists that post the most frequently in here and with whom you shared a common bond of being banned from the A/A group). You say this:

MAJOR PREMISE:

> IF (A) man was able to originate the
> idea/concept of God through the power
> of imagination, as opposed to reason
> and/or revelation,

Address and explain how this isn't a fallacy of exhaustive hypotheses. There is no need to progress past the major premise when the major premise is fundamentally flawed.

I'm quite sure you won't respond because, as I've said, you really don't want a dialogue.
