dairygirl4u2c Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 i know how many atheists explain purported miracles, but how do they explain that those types of things never happen to atheists? it was posted in this thread of that woman who had her sight restored as an example. you just dont see examples of that from atheists. jesus said he came and even did wonders, but people's hearts were hardened. that's all i know to say about it.

CatherineM Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 They believe there's a scientific explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truthfinder Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 What Catherine said; but also "Ask and you shall receive" - an athiest wouldn't ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dairygirl4u2c Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 do they acknowledge that these things happen to theists and not them? i've heard em say there's an explanation, but they dont often acknowledge that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anomaly Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Seemingly inexplicable things, both good and bad, happen to lots of people, regardless of faith in the divine. Atheism doesn't count on a God for divine intervention but puts the responsibility for intervention on human empathy and human effort and the luck of natural phenomenon.

dairygirl4u2c Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 " Seemingly inexplicable things, both good and bad, happen to lots of people, regardless of faith in the divine. " i never see the kinds of "miracles" that happen to believers happen to atheists. the burden is on atheists to show things that are similar. with things like miracles and near death experiences, atheists deny what is plainly in front of their eyes. it takes more faith to be an atheist than it does a believer.

Anomaly Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Lol. A magnet, an iPhone, and a Bic lighter are all equally miraculous to an isolated primitive tribe in the Amazon. Just because one can't explain it, doesn't make it Divine intervention. Proof is required of whomever ascribes a cause as fact.

dairygirl4u2c Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) magnets lighters and such are not at all comparable to someone regaining their sight when they are blind. you contintue to ignore that these things do not happen to theists. it's a very simple idea that you are obfuscating. the burden of proof is on you because we can show those things happen to thesits, but you can't show similar things happening to atheists yet you claim they do. i've seen some atheists ackowledget hat those things happen to us and not them. they say it's probably a placebo effect. at least these guys are honest, and not trying to make claims that have no basis in reality as if these kinds of things happen to everyone equally. apparently though atheists can't even agree on how to explain these things.

Anomaly Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) You're making the statement that unexplained healings happen to theists, but not atheists. I don't believe you. Do you have any statistics to back your claim? Edited December 29, 2016 by Anomaly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
