Subject: RE: BS: New things about atheism
What are they? Someone posted a link entitled 5 proofs of the existence of god to a website that offered no such thing.

Anyway, it's not necessary to know what Aquinas proofs are. I can disprove without every hearing a one of them.

Here's the secret to disproving any and all pro-god arguments:

They ALL require that the existence of god be presupposed somewhere in the premise of the argument. In effect, such arguments are loaded. The more sophisticated arguments merely find ways to disguise the presupposition of god's existence. Paolo Dezza is an expert at producing such arguments but, in the end, they all fall down.

So, if you doubt what I have asserted, give me your favorite pro-god argument and I'll show you where its weak spot is. Don't make it too easy. Find an argument that disguises that weak spot as much as possible. The standard arguments are pretty boring these days since I've been shredding them for years. I'd like to hear some new ones.
