Weekly "Ask an Atheist" Thread

Whether you're an agnostic atheist here to ask a gnostic one some questions, a theist who's curious about the viewpoints of atheists, someone doubting, or just someone looking for sources, feel free to ask anything here. This is also an ideal place to tag moderators for thoughts regarding the sub or any questions in general.

While this isn't strictly for debate, rules on civility, trolling, etc. still apply.

Saying Flew was no longer of sound mind and was preyed upon by others is a truly desperate attempt rebut what he was saying without having to rebut what he is saying. As is typical of atheists, they stoop to attack the person(s) rather than face the arguments directly.

In regard to point 9, Flew was a deist. He did not believe in the Christian God or a God who performed miracles. He believed in a God who is transcendent, but not immanent. A God who created the universe and created life and then let it be.

Then why are you ignoring everyone who did rebut what he is saying?

So you have time to respond to comments that don't address the points but not time to respond to those that do?
