It's funny how your almost never born atheist, you become atheist. I personally think the whole religion thing is far fetched. Why cant we just be dead after we die? Why does there HAVE to be an afterlife? Dont get me wrong i respect others decisions, I just don't believe in it, who's with me? I'm going to be some grass fertilizer one day And home to some maggots + worms.

I believe that t such an early age, they are unfortunately incapable of speech.

Well wouldn't they show signs of having a certain religion? And later on not complain about going to church. And why is are there only a few babies that are born theistic? Surely i wasn't born theist. I even ask my mom what religion I was when I was a kid. And I know I'm not the only one.

How do you know you didn't have a pre-memory experience that steered you in a certain supernatural, or lack there of, direction?

Well technically the only ones not born atheist are jews. because well, they're born jewish. But i think it's unfair to say a baby is atheist. it should be a choice, and babies can't decide considering they don't even have knowledge of their own exsistance until around 18 months.

I dunno. How do you know I did? There is no proof that I did. Therefor the default position is that I didn't.

You're putting a lot of trust in your own perceptions.

E, could one say that those 'stages of development' are different scenarios that mold you and your relationship with a god?

That makes no sense because atheism is the default option in this case. You can't just choose for him.

Stop talking about choice. Babies can't decide when they're freaking two months old so its parents have every right to force religion upon him. When he's old enough, he can change his mind if he wants.

Not really, I'm using logic. No evidence=no credibility.

Well, the Bible can be considered evidence that God exists so you might want to be more specific.

No more than TLOTR can be considered proof of hobbits and orcs, or that the Hitchhiker's Guide is proof of everything it has in it.

Yes, the word "right" and "force" in the same sentence. It's hard to swim back to the port when your already on the boat.

Yes, take the bible to prove god. Because books always tell the truth.

You can take hundred of scientifical and atheistic books that prove that god doesn't exist.

About as much truth as your assumed perceptions of your infancy no?
