I think the knee jerk reaction is to come back at religion. I am trying not to include religion (Christian) in the statement. My belief is that Atheism
claims scientific arguments or the lack of them for there stance that there is no God.
I think they should leave science out of their arguments. We do not have any evidence, measurement or detection of "spiritual" entities or claimed
places (angels, Holy Spirit, the anointing, heaven, hell) at this current time in history to prove or disprove God. Atheism should just state that and
leave science out of it's arguments.
I would like to stay on topic if possible...
