- 1Online debate erupts over evidence for God's existence●Theists: Can you provide any evidence that a god exists? Oh I'm sorry, am I being militant again? ______________________
A sardonic question directed at religious believers—asking them to provide any evidence that a god exists—is circulating online, framed with the mocking apology 'am I being militant again?' The exchange taps into the long-running dispute between atheists and theists over burden of proof, faith, and whether vocal scepticism should be labelled 'militant' atheism. Commenters are lining up on both sides of the evidence-versus-faith divide.
- 2Online debate reignites over Abrahamic religions and treatment of women●Theists: The Abrahamic god is obsessed with male genitalia and practically ignores women. Draw your own conclusions. ___
Atheist commentators are circulating a pointed critique of the Abrahamic traditions, arguing that scripture and religious law fixate on male bodies and male authority while giving comparatively little attention to women. Supporters say circumcision rules and male-only leadership roles reflect the imbalance; believers counter that the faiths address women extensively, citing figures like Mary and Deborah.
- 3Theists challenged to name what requires a god●Theists: What do you see in the universe and on Earth that would’ve been impossible without a god? Explain why it would’
An open question is circulating among believers and sceptics: what in the universe or on Earth could only exist if a god made it, and why would it be impossible otherwise? The challenge, tagged with atheism, faith and god, invites theists to defend specific examples rather than general arguments, prompting debate over cosmology, life and morality as evidence for divine action.
- 4Atheist quips he is doing God's work●Theists: Your god would know what it takes to convert me. He instead chose to make me fight against the faith virus. I'm
A user on a Mastodon server addressed theists with a challenge: if God exists, he would know exactly what would convert the speaker, yet instead the speaker says God chose to make them fight against the 'faith virus'. The post ends with the ironic punchline that fighting faith means 'doing God's work'. It is a one-off atheist quip about divine hiddenness and conversion, with minimal engagement so far.
- 5Atheists call 'open your heart to God' a euphemism for imagination●Theists: “Open your heart and let God in” is just another way of saying “Use your imagination” ______________________ #
A claim circulating online argues that when theists urge people to 'open your heart and let God in,' they are effectively telling others to 'use your imagination.' The quip has struck a chord in atheist circles and is drawing responses about faith, belief, and how religious experience is framed. Critics of religion see it as a pointed reframing of devotion as fantasy, while believers treat it as a caricature of spiritual practice.
