If God is real, why are there atheists?

[Polymirize]

i am aware that it has been debated with religious folk. and some decent rebuttals have been given.


I donâ??t really consider these arguments to be against religion. I just like them for some philosophical fun. Well generally I speak to more fundamentalist believers as their though processâ??s just bug me, so I usually cant help but question their thoughts.

I guess my issue is that the philosophical issue has never been addressed. In the multiple incarnations of this thread which seem to haunt the spirituality section of these boards, it always turns into a slugfest between christians and atheists, both of whom spend most of their time defining their opponents views for them.


And MrD, I'd be interested in hearing how that went for you, or, did not went for you...
