I find it a bit odd to see how “evangelical” some atheists are. (evangelical – from the greek evangel means one who tells good news).
Evangelical Christians are used as a popular metaphor for those who have closed minds and an enthusiastic desire to preach their beliefs. In some ways it is no surprise that the MAGA movement in USA espouses such labels. Blind as they may be to the irony of associating with the most socialist of movements – that advocate care for the poor and disenfranchised, whilst disenfranchising the poor.
“Of course there is no God” – these sort of statements abound on social media. As if one were able to prove or support such a definitive statement.
Proving something or someone doesn’t exist is a significant logical challenge, but atheists on social media and elsewhere are quite fond of this bald statement of what they consider fact. Makes me itch mentally!
“Of course” is a statement commonly used as a prefix, intended to belittle or denegrate the person with variant views, without needing to substantiate the statement opposing their view.
Of course – you cannot prove there is no God… 🙂
Unless you are Oolon Colluphid… But then that might be a circular argument.
