Atheism’s Self-Refuting Reality by Maclain Hunter
Abstract: An atheist said to me, and I quote, “Theism is delusion. Atheism is reality. I'm obviously the more logical one cuz I can differentiate between make believe vs reality.” This is of course an absurdity but it reveals a sound argument against atheism that leverages the fact atheism exists as a part of Reality (God - Logos - Objective Order) to show how it is, as a piece of God, self-refuting.
Premises:
P: Reality and Reality’s Logic (the Logos) are the True God and the Supreme Existence (the Ultimate Being aka God), which defines Truth (by definition) and what is or isn’t Moral.
Q: Atheism exists as an aspect of Reality and thus an aspect of God, providing evidence against its own premise (that it is rational to disbelieve in God, even when God is defined as the Logos and the Source of Atheism itself).
R: It defies Logic to posit that we can differentiate between Reality (God - Logic) and fiction without Logic (or God, or Reality). Logic is essential to knowing fake from real and God from “not God” (or “Reality from what is not Reality” in other words).
S: Assume the negation of the premises P, Q, and R. This assumption leads to logical contradiction as it would mean, among other irrational and contradictory things, that atheism could exist and Reality could exist, as realities (within the broader Reality defined by Logic), without Reality or any sort of Ultimate Reality (Supreme Being or God) existing. If atheism is Reality then atheism is God and atheism shows itself, as a doubt of or disbelief in any God or gods, to be an absurdity, like a statement that states, “this statement doesn’t exist”.
Logical Argument:
{P, P -> Q, Q -> R, R <-> S} |= (P & Q) & (R & S)
Conclusion: {P, Q, R, S}:
Atheism existing as any sort of Reality proves that Reality (and by proxy Reality’s Logic aka God) exists. If Atheism were the highest Reality, and the most valid kind of Existence then it would be the Supreme Being (God) and would refute itself even more than it already does by being “a reality” and a mere part of the Supreme Being (Ultimate Reality - Logos) - the One True God.
Atheism would have to be nonexistent (or inconsistently extant) to avoid being proof, in this way, of God. Even then it “being what it is” would be enough to use atheism to demonstrate Identity (Logos - God), so atheism is an untenable position to hold logically, and irredeemably so (as defined in the dictionary as the lack of belief in any God or gods). All attempts to refute this proof would rely necessarily on the Logic (Logos - God) that is actually #1 in/as the Logical (or “Natural”) Order itself, thereby showing that Logic must ultimately be respected as God (the Supreme Entity in Reality).
