Atheism 101 Critical Thinking Class Exercise, by request!

[RLBaty]

66. Muriel's ranting and raving!

Following my name below is Muriel's most recent ranting and raving, in relevant part.

It is yet a further demonstration of the bad faith consistently exercised by my opposition here.

She would have done better to work on the misguided whiners here who have yet to agree with her and me regarding the simple, logical validity of my argument. We would then be poised to move to Step #2 and work on resolving other problems she and others have exhibited on these fundamental matters.

Sincerely,
Robert Baty

Subject: It seems to be a bizarre attempt to
'prove' what atheists 'believe'

It goes something like this:

"here is a suggestion:

If humans could have made up God,
then humans did make up God.

I claim atheists think humans could have made up God.

I claim atheists think humans did make up God.

Therefore I claim that atheists think that 'if humans
could have made up God, then humans did make up God.'"

The last step, whatever atheists think, is nonsense.

You cannot work back from that kind of conclusion of
an argument to prove a premise of it.

I suspect he would then attempt to say that atheists
think they have proved that all ideas of gods were made
up by humans, but that atheists are mistaken in their
logic, therefore - God.
