Is there such a thing as a dogmatic atheist?

[EarthScienceguy]

A dogmatic atheist flatly denies that there is a Divine Being.
A skeptical atheist doubts the ability of the human mind to determine, whether or not there is a God.
A critical atheist maintains that there is no valid proof for the existence of God.

Especially with the state that cosmology is in. I maintain that it is impossible for anyone to be a dogmatic atheist. If you think you are a dogmatic atheist then you must answer the question of what was there before this universe came into existence.

Question for debate: Is there such a thing as a dogmatic atheist?

If you want to imagine things and then believe them that is up to you.

We know enough for it to be reasonably assumed that the stories told were based off of a real character or characters. We really don't know what you think we do about Jesus. Heck, we don't even know who wrote the gospels, nor how much after Jesus's death they were written. It is truly a shame that the Jesus character(s) didn't write anything down himself though.

Do you have any historians that agree with you? Or do you just make this stuff up?

Let me know when you have a historian that agrees with you on your opinions.

I could have a look if you wanted, but I am sure I have seen a lot of historians wrote books crediting a real Jesus but interpreting his doings (while accepting his sayings as valid). Like a reform Rabbi if not a divine being. I believe that historians also generally accept that the attributions of the gospels are convenient, but not to be relied on. And I can't believe that any historians - even Christian ones - argue that Jesus wrote anything that we have today.

Says the materialist. If you do not like what I am saying just think about something else. Because materialism cannot account for any type of objective reality. We are all just figments of your imagination according to materialism.

Another Christian who prefers their claims and ideas go unchallenged?

Some of you guys vote, hoping to infect laws with your peculiar brand of theocracy. I consider it a civic duty to point out the nature of your ideas and claims.

Because materialism cannot account for any type of objective reality.

Because claiming human / god hybrids die for three days then hop up and fetch groceries is supposed to reflect reality?

We are all just figments of your imagination according to materialism.

As Gods are for the theist.

It's a sad amusement to see a theist carry on about "objective reality" when their fanciful, farcical god claims don't even reflect it.

Evidence from historians that your statement is true. I do not think you can. Keep searching.

No, the theist would believe that God is real. It would be the materialist that would believe that they are imagination. Just like everything else that they see would be part of their imagination according to their belief system.

Yes, it is because the rest of us are nothing more than figments of your imagination according to your belief system.

For them unaware, a question is not a claim, but a seeking of data.

Where has one historian ever put truth to the claim that Jesus rose from the dead? Never. Because historians rely on the hearsay testimonies of folks who can't be cross examined as to the veracity of their claims, or soundness of their minds.

No, the theist would believe that God is real.

While being incapable of showing their belief reflects reality.

It would be the materialist that would believe that they are imagination. Just like everything else that they see would be part of their imagination according to their belief system.

That doesn't absolve the theist for their unfounded take on things.

This is hilarious, how you fuss about the imaginations of the belief systems of others, while trying to contend your belief system ain't just your imagination.

So please, show us all how we can confirm your god ain't a figment of your imagination.
