The pic Munch posted -and the event- was a surprise for me. At first sight, I honestly thought she meant that the beauty of a sunset feels so 'divine', how can we doubt it. Yeah, well that was naive of me.  :sad2:

Atheon - "God created man. Man exists. Therefore god exists." is typical circular logic theology.  But better is ... "People collectively created gods.  Gods exist.  Therefore people collectively exist.  However even if only as ideas, these gods create a feedback loop on the people ... which is aptly described by your statement ;-)

I don't know if this is the stupidest one I heard, but it still is. "Their is beauty in the world is proof there is a God."  Never mind that it is a non sequitur in logic and sound thinking.   So, therefore, there is ugliness in the world is also proof of God, I told her.

What is ugly?

How can you be sure my refusal to agree with your claim a symptom of my ignorance and not yours?

In the end, she pulled my husband aside and made overtures about how he should reevaluate our marriage.
I can imagine that sux. Outside influence on something you don't have control over is annoying. My sister married an atheist. I have told her many times that the Christian sticks at it. At the end of the day they chose you as you are. You chose your husband with his belief. I have a scripture you can give your aunt if she harasses you again.

Evolution is probably the slowest biological process on planet earth, the only one that comes close is the understanding of it by creationists.

Of course god exists. How could he not exist?

If god didn't exist, there would be no need for Jesus to die for our sins.

It’s a strange myth that atheists have nothing to live for. It’s the opposite. We have nothing to die for. We have everything to live for.
