Oh yeah? What’s the difference between gods and other mythological creatures and why does it matter?

Atheists don’t believe that gods don’t exist. Atheists don’t claim that gods don’t exist. They don’t believe claims that they do. And the difference between those two statements is far bigger than the difference between gods and dragons. You keep popping up the same old straw man so you can knock it down.

But it isn’t even an argument if your opponent denied your premise and keeps correcting you about your total misunderstanding about themselves, but you refuse to correct your mistake.

Atheism is not the idea of denying any gods, but rather not believing claims that they exist. This requires not faith, but by definition, the lack of it.

And your reply wasn’t one at all.

I wasn’t arguing. I was giving you an analogy. What’s the difference between not believing in a god and not believing in a pet dragon? Does one require faith and not the other? Why or why not? That’s an argument.

If my argument is so easy and stupid, rip it apart. Condescension gets you nothing.

I have a pet flying dragon that breathes fire and devours people I don’t like. Do you believe me?

I wonder how much high school athletics have contributed to conservatism via head injuries and groupthink?
