Nah, this is just for fun - but it's amusing (although not entirely surprising) that religious folk might not be able to distinguish between a joke and a logical argument.

Even if this weren't just a joke, a weak god doesn't equal a nonexistent god. Atheists' actual reasons are backed up by logic and critical thinking.

Well, obviously, a religious person doesn't like being condescended to instead of being patronized.

Eh, that's not really a fair comparison. One of these might be real, and one is purely fantasy. Unicorns aren't that far removed from horses, so it wouldn't surprise me if such an animal existed at one point.

CatAvailable3953 t1_j5zfxnc wrote

Can’t prove a negative. It’s like answering “Have you stopped beating your wife?”

−56

gangler52 t1_j5zn27u wrote

That's the opposite.

Can't prove a negative means you can't prove that Allah isn't one. So in your example, proving that you don't beat your wife is impossible.

"Allah is one" is a positive. You can prove those. The same way you can prove that you do beat your wife.

Educational_Set1199 t1_j60wkz9 wrote

If you prove that Allah is one, you have also proved that Allah is not two. But "Allah is not two" is a negative, which we know cannot be proved. Therefore, it is impossible to prove that Allah is one.

So prove it.

gangler52 t1_j61ktv5 wrote

I'm gonna blow your mind here.

There's a difference between not being able to prove something because it's untrue, and being unable to prove something something because it's a negative statement.

Going back to the analogy, you can prove that somebody beats their wife, people do that all the time, but if they don't beat their wife then that's a pretty significant obstacle to that undertaking, and it's not because you're making a statement that would require you have every moment of this dude's life recorded from birth to present day in order to come to a definite conclusion.

You can't prove that unicorns don't exist because the data required for that would be too comprehensive. We haven't observed all of existence. But you can't prove that unicorns do exist, because they don't. You can prove that squirrels exist, by looking out your window, and pointing at the squirrel. Proving the existence of something isn't inherently an impossible achievement.

Proving that something exists and is "one" would obviously need some further work to define what qualities being "one" describes, but that's provable, but only if it's true, as opposed to the reverse, which is fundamentally unprovable without completely unfeasible amounts of evidence.

What does that even have to do with proving an imaginary deity "is one"? Also, the Bible is equally gross.

You can prove it is a statement about its provability, not its trueness.

I do not believe the treaty requires NATO members to aid a member if they are the attacking member, it is defensive in nature.

Ramitt was saying that NATO wouldn't protect the aggressor if the aggressor is a member. Turkey is a member. Therefore NATO would not assist Turkey if they were to attack Sweden.

Turkey was supplying Ukraine with lethal weaponry - including drone strike craft - when the rest of NATO was playing wait-and-see.

Turkey's government is absolutely a bunch of assholes, but they're a bunch of assholes who want to see Russia broken. That's why they're in NATO.

Swede here. We have pretty much grown tired of Erdogan and Turkey. If NATO happens, it happens.

Erdogan bought oil from ISIS while bombing Kurds. Enough said about his "religious morale".

Besides, we have a number of military alliances as it is already. Make a move on Finland and see what happens.
