Debate: is god true?
Side: no ,god is not true

"This is by 'your' definition of innocent. In the Bible innocent, is being without sin. Nitpicking. Not only is this the functioning definition of 'innocent' in the real world, my point is completely unchanged if you remove the word altogether. Either God is responsible for everything, or nothing. Not just the good things. On a side note, what about infants who die of terminal diseases before they have had time to sin?It was the sin of man that cursed the world. God created and said it was "very good". We introduced the bad, and in so doing subjected ourselves to disease, suffering, and death.God planned for this, and invented the concept of sin when he set the conditions for it. Humans could not have sinned before sin existed. For you to blame God for the evil things of this world, is like blaming your mother for you misbehaving. If my mother had created my environment and all the forces that operate it, and had planned out every detail of my life, then of course she would be responsible for my behavior, whether it was good or bad. It goes back to the analogy of the rat in a cage, which I notice you completely ommitted. There is free will, but our impulses and personalities do not spring from nothing. Minds are moldable, and what molds them is a combination of environment and genetics, both of which God is completely responsible for. It is a belief plain and simple. You have no testable way to prove that God exists or He doesn't. Therefore you believe (or have 'faith') that He does not exist. Christians have the same amount of evidence off of which to base a conclusion; none. The obvious difference is that atheists are not the ones making a claim; religious people are. Atheists simply choose not to accept the claim. How much faith do you need to assert that Spiderman is not actually a real person?Hey, look, I can paste definitions, too! http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/religion  (atheism does not fit any of these numerous definitions) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheism ("Atheism, in a broad sense, is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.")http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/mathew/sn-definitions.html  ("Disbelief in, or denial of, the existence of a god.")I am not trying to claim that atheism is any more or less verifiable than theism. I am just stating the obvious fact that a lack of religion is not just another type of religion. It does not make theism inferior to atheism if atheism is not a religion. Really, it doesn't.Interestingly, I went to a couple of your sources and noticed that you declined to include alternate definitions that defined atheism as disbelief rather than belief. What stake do you have in convincing yourself that atheism, by definition the absence of theism, is a religion? It is ironic that you are quoting from the dictionary, while earlier making special exceptions for the Bible when it comes to the definition of words. Apparently dictionary definitions only apply when they are convenient for you.Finally, there are some significant parts of my argument that you ignored, particularly the first paragraph and the last. Do you not have responses? I am particularly curious about your answer to my point about atheism being a religion necessitating the creation of infinite religions based on the lack of belief in a particular entity, event, concept, and so on.
