Atheism is based on ignorance

I will start by saying that atheism is a negative claim. The burden of proof is on Christians to prove that their positive claim is valid by using evidence.REBUTTAL"I will start by saying that Atheism claims that God "probably" doesn't exist as if it were scientifically proven." That's not what we say. What we say is, in response to your claim that god exists, "Give us evidence that god exists." When you fail to give us any valid evidence that god exists, we assume that he does not as there is no evidence for him, much like unicorns and leprechauns."No scientific evidence exists to prove that God does not exist."Of course not, because god is an unfalsefiable hypothesis. Prove that unicorns don't exist; prove that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist. You can't. Nobody claims they can."Neither have atheists come up with a mathematical model for their claims."What?! First of all, what is a mathematical model? Second, are you proposing that we make a "model" every time we reject a positive claim? Third, we don't make any claims, we simply reject yours because it has no evidence.I'll refute your next points number by number.1. Yes, the Bible is not backed by science, so using it as a source is faulty. I'd think you would agree with that.2. The Bible itself is not dangerous to society. It's when people like the Westboro Baptist Church use the Bible as a basis to be bigoted and cruel that we view these people's interpretation of the Bible as harmful to society.3. No, nobody says this. People often discredit the Bible because it is an ancient text that supports stoning gays and sacrificing babies, which are old morals that we know better than to use in this day and age.Onto your methods of attacking the Bible:1. There are people who have read the Bible many times over and know all the context of the whole book. The people at SAB (Skeptic's annotated Bible) are some of them. They've found numerous contradictions that all hold up.[1] You can play the "out of context" game or the "different interpretations" card, but in the end there are undeniable contradictions in the Bible. Even Ray Comfort has admitted to a Bible contradiction[2].2. I don't really understand your position here. You say that when god says "You shall not murder" he means something different than putting someone to death, therefore you're arguing that putting people to death is okay? What about God's genocide of almost the entire human race? Was that "putting them to death"? I'm pretty sure nobody could clarify their entire moral code to you in any amount of space or time, but it is assumed that every person holds the moral values of the society they live in. So when we as a society all agree that killing people is not correct, it is assumed that anyone you talk to from that society assumes killing is not correct unless they specify otherwise.3. I don't claim that science has disproven the Bible, and I've not heard of any atheists who have either. There may very well be some, but I find it easier to maintain that the Bible is not divine and keep the Burden of Proof on Christians, where it should be. Make them back up their claims, don't try to disprove them.4. So then what would you propose happens in that scenario? It is obviously impossible for an omnipotent being to exist because of contradictions such as that. You're using the Bible's logic to prove that the Bible is correct. Circular reasoning anyone?5. That's ridiculous. Are you seriously saying that you looked at every religion before you became a Christian and then thought to yourself, "Gee, this Jesus guy sounds legit, I think I'll follow him"? Most people are indoctrinated into Christianity at birth and have never questioned their faith, so using this to show them that other people are doing the same thing is a good way to get some people to be skeptical and not just accept things that were spoon-fed to them.Did I read that right? Are you serious? Are you really saying that all atheists are morally bad because none have proposed an entire moral compass that exists without God? Most atheists have great morals, as I'm sure most Christians do, because we get our moral standard from society and personal experience and do things that the majority of people feel are morally correct for good reasons.ARGUMENTS1. Atheism is a negative claim, so we don't have to do anything, Christians are the ones who have to come up with moral models, prove their beliefs, etc.2. Even if all your claims why it is dumb to attack the Bible hold up, that does not mean being atheist is dumb, because not all atheists attack the Bible. Atheists don't need to attack the Bible, as you guys have the BoP.3. Atheism is not based on ignorance, solely emotion, or flawed arguments. In fact, atheism is based upon looking at evidence and coming to the conclusion that there is no valid evidence for the Christian god.Sources:1. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com...2.
