Prove that God doesn't exist.

How can you believe in reincarnation if you can't prove it? How can you even consider it a possibility if it can't be proven?
Clearly you don't believe in God, whose existence can't be proven or disproven by science. So why is reincarnation (equally undemonstrable) acceptable?

Reincarnation is Scriptural. Live by the sword, die by the sword; as you sow that also shall ye reap, etc. We know that a lot of nasty people die quietly in their beds surrounded by loving family, without reincarnation how do they ever get to die by the sword or reap what they have sown? Reincarnation makes logical sense, it's no more of a miracle to be born twice than once, is it?

Well, it makes as much sense as any other religious perspective. Original sin? Give me a break!

The concept is called "free will". You either believe or you don't. The decision is yours and yours alone. You will be required to take personal responsibility for your decision.
What could be fairer?

What about those that never hear of Jesus?

Hebrews 9:27

Hebrews 9:27
"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"

How many times does it call for someone to be killed? And then we have the 6th Commandment. So the Bible is contradictory, this is news? You can prove ANYTHING with the Bible. According to the Old Testament, God has a pretty serious anal fetish too. It's mostly nonsense with a sprinkling of excellent commandments by Jesus.

What does any of that have to do with "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"?

Regardless of wether or not we have free will, why are we being misled by God into believing other religions and living a good life obeying their laws and spiritual beliefs? What about people who live in the remotest parts of the amazon who have never heard of Jesus? What about the babies in Africa that die before they can even comprehed religion? What about the billions of people who lived and died before Christianity was around? They were all humans too.

Billions?

Even if its one person, it doesn't matter. The fact is they never even heard of Christ, a bit odd that... if Gods been around so long and loves everyone so much.

Just because some don't believe in God doesn't mean he doesn't exist.

The Bible is contradictory, it's a rubber yardstick that can be used to prove anything. It's obvious that it supports reincarnation and it's just as obvious that it does not, it all depends on which scripture you decide to look at. How do you reconcile "an eye for an eye" and "turn the other cheek"? Except for the teachings of Jesus, the Bible is a useless compendium of plaigarized myths from a wide variety of earlier sources.

Is it just me, or did Baxter tend to repeat himself?

It isn't God that's the problem, it's the Bible and the people who interpret it to mean that THEY have the right to force others to obey their religious tenets. There is NO demonstrable connection between the Bible and God. Or between Christianity and God either, for that matter.

Why "myth"?

 

[Mare Tranquillity]

Why "myth"?

1 : a story that is usually of unknown origin and at least partially traditional, that ostensibly relates historical events usually of such character as to serve to explain some practice, belief, institution, or natural phenomenon, and that is especially associated with religious rites and beliefs

3 : a person or thing existing only in imagination or whose actuality is not verifiable: as a : a belief given uncritical acceptance by the members of a group especially in support of existing or traditional practices and institutions <a myth of racial superiority used to justify discrimination> b : a belief or concept that embodies a visionary ideal (as of some future utopian state or condition)

[numinus]

My father always asks a good question... if the Christian God is real... why leave people in doubt? At least offer them the choice of Christianity or atheism, rather than letting people get brainwashed from birth into another religion, thus not giving them a chance of salvation.

What doubt?

When god said, I AM I - you can very well take his word (or his messenger in this case) for it or you can go through the necessary logical mental gymnastics associated with philosophical and physical cosmology.

Your choice. Either way, the conclusion is inescapable.

Really!

You are incapable of discerning a moral good on your own? You need jesus to tell you, eh?

What about the babies in Africa that die before they can even comprehed religion?

Since a moral good is discernable only by a rational mind, one cannot reasonably oblige someone without a rational mind to it, no?

What about the billions of people who lived and died before Christianity was around? They were all humans too.

Ever wonder how jesus and confuscius came to the same conclusion independent of one another?

Or how st aquainas couched the cosmological argument in virtually the same way as the kalam cosmological argument (its muslim version)?

Or how the utilitarian ethics of js mill, metaphysical ethics of kant and christian morality are saying virtually the same thing?
