Are Babies Born Atheist?

by Matt Slick | Jun 12, 2016 | Atheism, Secular Issues

Atheists often say that babies are born atheists because they lack belief in a God-Thing. But this is an assumption that cannot be verified. Atheists cannot tell us what is or is not in the minds of babies. In other words, they are making an assumption without any verification. Now, I am not saying that babies do believe nor am I saying that they do not believe. I’m saying that we cannot know for sure. But, atheists might reply that belief requires awareness and cognition. That could be true, but we do not know at what level any baby could believe anything. So, how does the atheist know whether or not the baby is wired, at birth, to believe in a God-Thing and has to learn how not to believe in a God-Thing as it grows? Or, is the baby wired not to believe in a God-Thing and has to learn how to believe as it grows? Either way, how could it be verified? It cannot. Therefore, the atheist cannot validate the assertion that babies are born atheists. It is merely an assumption based on faith.

As far as the bible goes, there are two verses that are relevant to this topic.

bible references removed since they are NOT evidence.

MY Turn

First, are babies born atheist? No. Neither are they born with any beLIEfs. Your bullshit from that bible-thingy about your God-Thing encoding beLIEfs into our DNA is Pure Brain Diarrhea. Wishful thinkking. Prevaricated fantasies. Science has proven, with Volunteers, that human babies today are born with nothing except Pure Animal Instinct. They have no knowledge in their minds. They are only born with animal instincts. Nothing else. Science has proven this with OHEFE. They used electroencephalography. EEG. And all babies have is the animal instinct of wanting food. Nurturing. For Sapiens are not born with any form of genetic memories.

AND, since science has proven human babies are born with ONLY animal instincts (I WANT FOOD), in a sense, you can say human babies are born atheist, possessing no beLIEfs.

What flabbergasts me the most is with the greatest fact-checking tool ever invented, AND you Religitards still do NOT know how to research. And when you Religitards do any research, it is always to see what other religious WWW sites are publishing so you steal their ideas and make them your own. Learn True Research skills. Yes, when I do research, it is almost exclusively with science WWW sites, science journal papers, et al. However, I do end up looking at other WWW sites to see the horse hoowhee, bullshit, and brain diarrhea other idiots are publishing. Especially Religitards.

And then just like ALL Religitards, Matt pulls the “Assumption-Without-Verification” card. Ain’t that exactly what you Religitards do? You assume without verifying. You simply state your God-Things exist, then you offer absolutely NO verification of those Things existing. Before you claim scientists always assume without verification, perhaps you sorry-arsed Religitard idiots should look in the mirror first.

However, science has shown that babies are born with nothing in their brains except the “I want food” syndrome. Think on this, excepting all other mammals, no Sapien is born with any knowledge or beLIEfs. We no longer have “genetic memories” due to having to make space for the prefrontal cortex, the frontotemporal lobe. Us Sapiens have to be cared for because we are NOT born with the ability to find food on our own. THINK: If you were to leave a Sapien baby on its own, it would die. Other mammals have enough genetic memories to be able to find food, to avoid dangers, to find shelter. The three most important factors of Survival: finding food and shelter, and how to avoid dangers. A Sapien baby cannot do these things due to the lack of any knowledge or genetic memories. A Sapien baby CANNOT beLIEve in anything due to that lack of any knowledge. The knowledge MUST be taught and learned. Unfortunately, Religitards treat their own children as if “property”; thus they are the first to force their beLIEfs onto their children using psychological terrorism and empathic predation. THAT is child abuse no matter how define it.

And that is where Aron Ra came up with, “We are all born atheist until someone lies to us.” He utilized the “True Truth of Science”, instead of the “Prevaricated Fantasies of Religion”.

ALL religion is Pure LIES. Prove me wrong.

We Sapiens are born without any knowledge except The Animal Side. As Aron Ra said, we are not even born with any beLIEfs until our parents begin lying to us about some invisible space ghost. And that is a god-damned shame that it is the parents that are the first to lie to us as children. Unless like me, at least one parent is a scientist and engineer. Me dad and mom, him atheist, her a beLIEver, vowed to each other that both would recognize and support the family traditions from both. Me dad’s tradtions had an Age of Minority thing. When I turned 13y old, I was allowed to choose whether I wanted to go to church or not. I chose NOT. Thank God-Thing for that. >:-P

As Matt suggested, “...atheists might reply that belief requires awareness and cognition.” And this IS so damned correct. To beLIEve, you must have the knowledge first. We ARE NOT born with any such knowledge. With the knowledge, beLIEf still needs Awareness and Cognitive capabilities. Children have very little cognitive capabilities. Why do you think children CAN beLIEve bullshit to be truth? They do not possess enough knowledge and cognitive capabilites to make decisions on the True/False-ness of any idea. However, ALL children are born with a different “wiring” in their brains. Some, like me, are actually born with an operant prefrontal cortex. I began teaching me self how to read by reading cereal box labels and looking the words up in the dictionary. Then putting all those definition together, I could easily formulate what exactly was being “said” on those cereal boxes. I was only 3y old. Then me mom caught me reading the cereal boxes and started a “reading regimen” using the worst possible text: that bible-thingy.

Here is a good question for you Religitards. If I could see that the bible was nothing more than a sick and twisted collection of Æsop Fables (Hebrew style) when I was only 3y old, how come you stupid adults today cannot see the bible for a collection of perverted and twisted myths? Even at three years old, the bible made absolutely no sense. And if I followed the bible as my guide for morality, I would have extincted the entire human species, myself included, decades ago. Seeing what religion does to the human species, I came to the same conclusion as your God-Thing: Sapiens do not deserve existence. AND, If I were an interstellar visitor, I would still come to the same conclusion that the human species MUST be exterminated. And this is including me self. Want to talk about being Deep...

It is merely an assumption based on faith. Matt, you just summed up your religious beLIEfs. Think, stuppid.
