My conversations with atheists (part 2)

My conversations with atheists you are reading now have developed from Richard Dawkins’ statement on Twitter (April 25, 2015) to which I responded. Someone then reacted to my response. This reaction gave birth to my other responses. I posted this short conversation on my Facebook (April 25, 2015), eventually resulting in extended comments on my Facebook from my Western FB friends to which I replied seriously. Enjoy all the following conversations. 

Richard Dawkins (on Twitter): Of course people have a right to hold whatever beliefs they want. Ridiculing those beliefs doesn’t deny that right.

My conversations with atheists (part 1)

Looking for evidence every second and every inch! Ooh, such a poor life!

David McAfee: Here is my status: “If you choose to disregard evidence, you could end up believing any false answer that temporarily fulfils your desire to know the unknown.” 

Ioanes Rakhmat: Do you need empirical evidence from your spouse that proves him/her to be faithful forever to you? Do you need proof for the assumption most Americans accept that humans are created equal? Do you need evidence for your belief (or whatever you may call it) that tomorrow our Sun will still rise and then set again? Do you need evidence from your children that they love you very much, that they do their assignment everyday diligently? Are you convinced that your business will be successful if you don’t believe (or don’t trust) your business partners in certain areas of your business? Etc. etc. Life is not only about evidence, but about belief and trust too.
