    Most atheists don't say definitively that there is no god. They say they don't believe in deities because there is absolutely no objective evidence that they exist.

    Frankly, there's more evidence that Bigfoot exists.

    I don't think "possible" means what you think it means. It can be accurate for an atheist to tell a Christian that they're wrong, if the Christian is wrong about whatever claim they've made.

    Personally, I don't claim that there are no gods, but there are specific versions of specific gods that are demonstrably non-existent. And also, any atheist who lets monotheists frame the question as their god being the only one in question has let themselves become a prop.

    The same way its possible for a Christian to tell an Atheist that there is a God. You have NO definitive proof, just like there is no definitive proof that God doesn't exist.

    There is proof backing up science though.

    If atheism is simply a 'lack of belief' as many atheists in this forum claim then they can't. If atheism is a claim to knowledge (one knows there is no God) they can.

    Here is the point of disconnect... If you keep a roster you will find quite often those atheists doing the latter often claim the former and are seemingly oblivious to the incompatibility of the two.

    Rufus T. Firefly: Does have a point - most atheists are not schooled in logic and so might not understand that "possible" in a logical of philosophical context means "logically coherent". Best to be explicit when asking an atheist such questions lest they go into an equivocation tangent.

    How is it possible for a Christian to tell an atheist that he/she is wrong and there is a God with absolutely zero proof?

    It's possible because Christians no longer have the legal right to torture and kill heretics at their discretion.

    There is no such proof as there is a God, there is no proof there isn't a god. I can't even fathom where a debate can start unless you are being controlled by faith and terrified of where you will go when you die, or if you are an Atheist who has some sort of mental block in the head where only bias ideas ferment. Open your minds, you all live in a place where no one has the answer (yet). and yes that was my question

    I'd never presume to tell a Christian that he/she is wrong because, as an atheist, I believe we're all entitled to our own 'beliefs'.

    Easy. Christians, you're wrong. There is no god.

    Hang around here for a bit and you will see many examples of atheists attempting to school Christians and vice versa.
