Mr. or Ms. Atheist, what is the cause for your attack on causality?

Must not there be a cause for the attack?

Update:

Most atheist seem to say "nature just is". No reason. But then the "no reason" logic simply isn't consistent.

Update 2:

Thunder - For anything to change, there must be a constant. And would anything exist (including time itself) if it wasn't changing?

    ""Mr. or Ms. Atheist, what is the cause for your attack on causality?""

    the ONLY time I question causality is when someone makes an Unsupported claim about it....Like that EVERYTHING needs a cause..and then claims there god doesn't need one..

    ""Most atheist seem to say "nature just is". No reason.""

    that is correct..nature has No reason..it is NOT an intelligent entity..it does Not think..it is simply a collection of Natural Processes...

    You mean like bananas therefore god?

    Most causality that people post in here is false. Many people also seem to get correlation mixed up with causality - there is a major difference between the two. Now if you care to explain your question better maybe we can help - because I just don't seem to have the psychic ability to understand your question fully

    My not being able to understand your question has probably caused me to leave an answer that is not what you were expecting!

    You mean spontaneous, but zero reason at all, just 'happened'?

    So then what? The person feels nothing at all about it?

    Does this seem human?

    I think we do things for reasons, but those might not be obvious

    to us, (often they aren't).

    You are right, though that if there is no cause, then that should

    remain a constant.

    Then no reason for...anything.

    In fact, I wonder if some of that isn't happening today?

  • I have never attacked causality, obviously something caused us to be here but it's a something not a someone.

    I don't understand why someone who does not believe in something would want others to agree with them,its very sad.

    Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.

    If each individual person passes out of existence when he dies, Does it really matter whether he ever existed at all?

    No one has said that causality does not exist. We do, however, question the religious assertion that everything must have a cause except their god, which conveniently is excepted from their absolute rule.

    You started it by insisting there was a god when there was absolutely no evidence to support such a ridiculous primitive notion...

    "Religion is backward, primitive, retarded and ignorant, and it makes people think, talk and act, backward, primitive, retarded and ignorant!"

    Gods and magic are the most ludicrous things primitive man ever came up with to explain anything... he may as well have suggested that a flat-chested one-eyed Turtle with the assistance of half a dozen near-naked flat-chested Flamingos did it... ;)

    God is imaginary… http://godisimaginary.com/

    I don't know what you're talking about. I love the idea of causality.
