Falicies Atheists use

Trent Horn's latest video here covers arguments atheists might use. It has made me think. Theirs erroneously starts with "we are right, proves us wrong". Then no matter how much proof is provided they will contradict almost in a Monty Python way "No it isn't". It comes from what I believe is a belief system with no belief, a view of reality that avoids truth at all costs. 
Trent introduces "the infallible rules of faith" test. He says Catholics have three infallible rules and protestants one. It is like atheists have none. There is no infallible rule to denying the existence of God. Atheists are confused. "I believe in other Gods" is one I hear.  But this is always said in jest. There is no attempt to attend the temple of Zeus or pray to Athenia. It's simply fog. They are like naughty children that do not obey their mother on the footpath. They can never leave her gaze or protection but tell her to go away and try to run off! We are never out of God's view or his protective pressence. But how often do we stop and think about this?

    I think that atheists have better grammar than that!

    Okay, give me one example of your proof.

    1. One example would be philosophical as in Plato's proof for God. Another would be a witnessed account of Jesus' resurrection...sorry but you asked for just one!

    2. "A witnessed account of Jesus' resurrection."
      Who was the witness?

    3. Who was the witness?
      The guy who was selling the ‘He Is Risen’ t-shirts.
      Word was that his day job was as a baker.

    4. There were lots of witnesses. I mean there was Thomas who poked his finger into Jesus' wound. Mary his mother, Mary Magdalene, all the apostles. Hundreds watched Him ascend into heaven. The two who chatted and walked all day with Him. The Jewish Priests couldn't explain the empty tomb so they bribed the Roman guards ...don't you have a Bible RBB?

    5. Is it mentioned anywhere else, or by anyone else, other than in the bible?

    6. It might have been recorded in the baker’s advertisements:
      “Jesus Christ is risen
      Just like our daily bread
      If you buy a dozen
      You’ll meet him when you’re dead.”

    7. Yes the truth about God continues to be revealed through private revelation. Mel Gibson got The Passion from Anne Catherine Emmerich a 19 th century mystic . Then there is the diary of St Faustina who only died in 1937.

  3. You keep digging yourself deeper in a ‘hole’ lot of nonsense Robert. Isn’t it about time that you grew up and admitted that all religion is made up bullshit?
