:(Possibly.

I would say that some strong evidence that skeptics really exist is because they seem to get banned from this forum!Are you saying that skeptics exist?
Can you prove it?

I have an idea for an experiment. I think we should see what happens if we go to a suicide prevention center, and swap out the the people who volunteer their with skeptics and atheists. I strongly urge this experiment. If evolution equipped us with imagination as a strategy to survive, let's see what happens if we block that strategy by using atheists and skeptics.I'm sure they were banned for a lack of civility, not being a skeptic,
Don't you think there are skeptics/atheists among these volunteers?I have an idea for an experiment.

Why would there be? After all, the view of atheism is that life sucks and then you die permanently; this is a point of view, not a fact. And if it makes someone feel depressed to think that way, well the atheist calls that person weak. Atheism creates depression, it doesn't alleviate it.Don't you think there are skeptics/atheists among these volunteers?
you did not answer the question, do you really think there are no skeptics/atheists amongst the volunteers in suicide prevention centers?Why would there be?

I doubt it. What would a skeptic/atheist say? "We're just an accident of creation and our lives have no purpose. But don't kill yourself dude. But if you do, there will be no consequences because your existence will cease to exist. At least I think it will. Actually I have no idea. I'm just assuming that we have no soul. I really don't know."you did not answer the question, do you really think there are no skeptics/atheists amongst the volunteers in suicide prevention centers?

Let's also not forget his applauding someones death in the Victor Stenger thread. Is this evidence of this superior religious morality?Ghost - your prejudice and ignorance here is stunning.
No argument there. I cannot claim superior morality; only frustration with the materialists who believe in statistically magical thinking of an infinite number of universes, and stand there, with a straight face, and claim "it's science". I assure you with all honesty and reason that such a proposition cannot be proven and is therefore "science fiction". Regrettably, such materialist atheists are never actually moved by reason; views only change when atheist-materialists "give up the ghost".Let's also not forget his applauding someones death in the Victor Stenger thread.

So I apologize for my bad behavior and do not claim superior morality when it comes to atheists. I find them to be as irrational as a pound of Higgs bosons.

Ghost,
I respect your candor and honesty here. I admit to having a bit of a prejudice against the atheist materialists, partially as a defense mechinism to have had a number of bad experiences in trying to have civil interactions with them. However, I make no seeping judgements that they are all that way, that would be foolish of me.
That's the only way you atheists are going to convince anyone that God doesn't exist. You cannot have a fine tuned universe just pop into existence for no reason any more than you can have a PC computer just pop into existence for no reason and without design. The odds of such things happening are: impossible!Who has claimed the multiverse is proven?
It is not the death of atheists that I celebrate. It is the death of hopeless that gives me hope. Atheism is the very embodiment of hopelessness.Ghost - your prejudice and ignorance here is stunning.
