Reply #12: I suppose what is motivating me is reaction to a theistic attitude that atheism is prima facie wrong [View All]

[BurtWorm]

I am arguing that atheism is prima facie right--that is, a godless universe is what meets the eye of every reasonable person. And yet, this isn't to say that atheism absolutely *is* correct. It's to challenge the theistic idea that any reasonable person, given a second or two to think, would have to conclude in favor of believing in god/s. That's the position I've seen over and over when theists explain why they are theists. I'm arguing that there may be a good reason to believe in god, but it certainly isn't an obvious one. The obvious position to take is that there is no god.
