Debate An Atheist - Lemmy.ca
lemmy.ca
A place for theists to come and debate atheists. Atheism, for the purposes of this community, is defined as lack of belief in deities (as opposed to belief in a lack of deities or other definitions). Rules: - Absolute requirement on respectful discourse. - No downvoting for disagreement or poor arguments! Use downvotes only for egregious breaking of rules and for disrespectful or off-topic discourse. - No spamming or advertising. - No trolling. - No NSFW. - No low effort posts or top level replies. - Posts must be on topic and present a debate or discussion topic with explanation / support. Link dropping (a link with no explanation or summary) won’t be allowed. Links that support an argument are fine. - No bigotry, sexism, homophobia, racism, etc.

We say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but I am betting you could create ordinary claims about the supernatural that require extraordinary evidence.

Example: the deist god could make a four sided triangle.

    Yeah, that’s a rectangle. I can make a rectangle.

    Does that make me a god?

      I can make a pyramid, which turns triangles into a rectangle. Therefore, I am god.
