Hi would anyone have a good response to this argument.
If belief in a God is a 'mind virus' (in the words of R. Dawkins) that we may not know we have, then the double-edged sword that cuts both ways dictates that belief in no God is also a 'mind virus' that we may not know we have.
This leaves the awful possibility that the atheist, too, may be living a life of total self-delusion without knowing it.
coupled with
So, you are not a theist...you don't believe in the one, Creator God, yet believe in other things that you cannot see. You have trust, trust requires faith; what an athiests basis for your trust in your belief that God does not exist, whilst placing trust in other beliefs?
Athiests can't explain why you don't consider that you're self-deluded despite placing trust in things you cannot see, yet do not hesitate to deride those who also place their trust in that which they cannot see.
