The call of the theist who does not understand logic or words is "disprove god" they insist, no matter how much we atheists tell them, that atheism means "There is no god" nah, we don't I did a small poll awhile back and everyone that responded pretty much all agreed that the word atheist means "I don't believe in god" this seems wide spread. This seems to align with things online now, as many webpages defining the word have slowly adopted the way we view the word. BUT, nah the theist wants, perhaps needs it to be this. "disprove god!" they say.
SIGH.
Problem 1: We don't even know what "God" means.
The word has a number of meanings, although of course the theist only cares about the version they think is real. They ignore all the other possible meanings of this word... but I don't. I have no idea what it is, only what people THINK it is.
Words can have more then one meaning, but this makes the word hard to respond to. Hey, do you think FLARGERALSAUSE is real?! NO?! WHAT WHY NOT?! Because, most likely, you've never encountered this wonky word until now. You don't know what it means, so you can't say its real, unreal or other. "I don't know." Do you believe in it" The only answer would be "No." I've told theists this many times. It feels like they just don't get it. They don't understand or don't want to. "God is DIFFERENT then that made up word!" they will say... I shake my head and sigh.
Problem 2: We don't have any empirical evidence of any "God".
Empirical evidence. I need to see it somehow. Visualize it in some way. Thermal devices, Ultraviolet cameras, Radio telescope, Microwave receiver/imager, X-ray machine, Gamma-ray telescope, Terahertz camera, Ultrasound imager... and the list goes on and on. Lots of ways to see things we can't see normally, but for "god" nope. Not a single thing.
"BUT! God is not a physical object!" They say.
How the bleep do you know!? I ask. "Because... that's what god is!" ... And I sigh.
Problem 3: We have no way to test for a god. We have no way to falsify a god claim, no predictions that matter can be made for god, nothing. Diddly squat. Theists just say ya can't test god... how do they know? Good question. Answer: They believe.
Problem 4: No sound argument as far as I know.
I've looked. I've heard and read a bunch of theist arguments, so far, not a single one has been SOUND.
Theists just shrug at that and claim the argument is sound as they never answer if they even know or understand or have studied informal logic.
So it kinda looks like there isn't anything to disprove is there? Given there isn't anything there. No anything for it. Just faith. Just ideas. That's it.
So... uh. I guess I disproved it?
But I'm sure theists will reject it anyway.
