Ya... They'll say shit like "but you can see god in the beauty of the world. Look the sunset or a rose."
My usual responce to this is "why are there parasites that burrow into the eyeballs of humans eat the eyeballs then leave without killing them what purpose does this organism serve?"
"God works in mysterious ways π€"
Why does god make rapists?
I don't believe in gods, but I do believe in aliens. One just feels a lot more likely to exist than the other.
I mean, I have evidence that life does in fact occur on a rock in space. The rest is just debating the Fermi paradox.
God/s on the otherhand... not so much.
If your god is a Crocodile, you might skip this one.
When I was a little I was hit with a similar answer. I was discussing with someone and I said that I don't understand people who worship stones or objects (I was maybe thinking of Buddhist) and he told me "Is it better to worship the void?"
That comment really marked me and still years later remember that conversation.
"Do you believe in God?"
"Yes."
"What about Zeus, Shiva, Odin, Chernobog, Ra, and all the other innumerable gods?"
"No, those are fake."
"So you're almost as atheist as I am, I just so happen to believe in one less god than you do."
They saw a God!
Sorry, I was in the area
I get that this probably isnβt a place to play devils advocate but if there believes are sincere they will answer they can βfeelβ god.
Regardless of belief and truth, it is an appropriate counter argument that defeats this rhetoric.
Hallucinations feel real too. It's possible someone had a hard past as saw what they wanted to see.
The real answer will be that the Bible doesn't mention aliens, or that people's reported encounters with aliens are actually demons
Yes, they always find their way around it
