Lets take a little break from politics and have us a real atheist conversation.

Personally, I’m open to the idea of the existence of supernatural phenomena, and I believe mainstream religions are actually complicated incomplete stories full of misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and half-truths.

Basically, I think that these stories are not as simple and straightforward as they seem to be to religious people. I feel like there is a lot more to them. Concluding that all these stories are just made up or came out of nowhere is kind of hard for me.

    Except, when you fill the gaps with science, you have evidence and proof. Not superstition and ancient myth.

      But you’re still leading yourself into a fallacious argument. It’s not any better.

        It’s only a fallacious argument if you don’t say “we can’t answer that yet” and maybe add, “but here are some theories…”

        “I don’t know” does not mean “therefore the supernatural is real.”

          My goal really is to convince people to sit on the fence about it.

            Convince people that the supernatural is real? Because that is exactly what you’re not doing with this line of argument.
