again the internet atheist assumes no one understands the premise rather than realize the premise is dumb. itās incredible how much you guys operate on faulty logic instead of making arguments that are sound.
instead of saying āthe bible isnāt proof that god exists the same way a physics book in itself isnāt proof that physics exist, but we can observe and replicate physics experiments in a way that gives us high confidence that our understanding of the laws of physics is soundā you go to fucking kindergarten logic immediately.
the spider-man (respect the hyphen) comics arenāt proof of spider-manās existence because they make zero effort to prove spider-man exists. like thatās not even a concern of the book, how bad are you at analogiesā¦ you can make the same argument instead with something like the secret. or better yet, you can do it with other holy books.
funnily enough the quran works as an argument against the bible since christians ostensibly believe in the bible but not the quran even though there are vast similarities. wouldnāt work the other way since muslims technically believe that the bible at least at one point history was indeed the true word of god. but you can always use newer scripture, like dianetics or whatever.
i get that comparing them to spider-man makes your smug ass feel euphoric but making stupid arguments doesnāt make the other side seem stupid as many of you internet atheists think for some reason. it just makes you look like you donāt know how analogies work.
I appreciate the answer, but Iām afraid I disagree on several points.
I will give one thing to start off with, yes the premise is dumb, thatās why itās a humorous meme.

Iād argue this is exactly what the meme says. The meme as format is a much simplified rehash of the argument, more of a reference than an actual argumentation. It conveys the frustration of having to rehash a long debunked argument in a humorous nod to those whoāve had to live them and repeat them many times. This is btw probably why youāre getting the reactions you are in this thread, the meme isnāt the argument itself. On the other hand it gets reposted because thereās always someone who gets tripped up, and the exercise of rehashing it might illuminate them or another reader.

What effort does the Bible or any book make to prove their charactersā existence? Iād argue itās to post claims you can verify. Claims like descriptions of places and events. Spiderman comics are quite easily verified as many of the locations and events described can be investigated in person, or corroborated through photos, video, independent reports.
Or is the linchpin that the Spiderman comics donāt explicitly claim that they are true? Would your view change if someone had written and underlined āTruth!ā in one of them? Iād argue it shouldnāt, just claiming somethingās true doesnāt make it so, they could be mistaken or lying.

I entirely agree, and this is the part of the meme the atheists are secretly smug about.
