Define winning.
I could win why there is no god but many people can not accept this since it would literally destroy them with this belief, hence reject it as self protection. That's just how humans work.
Bringing me back to the question. What even is 'winning an argument'?
(If you feel the urge to downvote: go ahead but ask yourself - do you feel threatened?)
Bitch about downvotes? Straight to downvote.
I think you misunderstood. Go ahead!
Don't tell me what to do.
I like you! 🤣
lol no I just think what you said is wrong and arrogant about being able to win that argument from even a logic perspective. Arguing the absence of lowercase-g god is a Sisyphian task if ever there was one. It reads like a teenager who binged Dawkins videos wrote it.
60% of Lemmy users are that teenager but they're 35 and still haven't grown out of it.
So many people here don't even accept historian consensus that Jesus was a real person
Sure, Jesus was real. But not looking like he is mostly/often depicted 😉
I don't care how it looks and it would take time etc sure, but I am convinced. I could go on ranting about arrogant views of neurotypicals always assuming the wildest stuff but I simply don't care.
Just rest assured this is not an edgy teenager statement.
(I'm used to being called arrogant. That comes with the specialist field I am in and also due to the double empathy issue)
It's as simple as asking why over and over. Toddlers do it.
What is? Me or them?
Asking is natural and usually makes you know more about the world, it's what science is built on.
I meant you can win an argument against theism by just asking why repeatedly.
I see, thanks for the clarification.
