Atheism 101 Critical Thinking Class Exercise, by request!

70. My 'ranting and raving' was achieved with no exclamation marks

whereas I suspect your key for that will have been worn blank, you use it so much.

What is 'bad faith' about that? I told you here you fall flat on your face with step #4. That's what I say in that A&A post. And, although I hadn't read the following when I posted what you quote, this does seem to confirm where you think you can take this flawed argument:

That reasonably translates to the proposal that man, despite the lack of evidence, had the power to originate the idea and that having such power must have originated the idea/concept by such power because there is no evidence of other alternatives to account for the origination of the idea/concept of God.

Some admit to it.
Others not so much.

and:

You have implicitly indicated that you believe it to be true (i.e., that man was able to originate the idea and that man did originate the idea by the power of imagination and that it was not a result of reason and/or revelation).

I do NOT believe (A) implies (B), but you have made it rather clear, explicitly and/or implicitly, that you believe it to be true beyond the "proof"/"evidence" which you admit you do not have.

One the points of the exercise is to emphasize just such as you seem to want to emphasize: Atheists/Atheism implies the truth of the premises.

Atheists believe the premises to be true beyond the evidence.

Your claims that people are 'implicitly endorsing your analysis' are both ridiculous and rude. It's that rudeness and cavalier disregard for what others say so that you can smugly declare "victory!!!!" without having to bother understand anyone else's arguments that makes me predict your ultimate purpose for all this is "therefore - God".
