Prove that God doesn't exist.

Ever wonder why more than 90 % of the world's population believe in a creator in one form or another?

Oh and btw, more than 90 % of the world's population believe in a creator in one form or another.

The people that the truth 'escapes from' consist of a painfully small minority - perhaps comparable to the statistical occurence of insanity in any given population.

Go figure.

Ever wonder why most of the world's population believed in the flat Earth? Or why common sense is called "common" when it is anything BUT common? It's a strange world. Did you hear that the George Bush Presidential Library in Texas was destroyed in a flood?

I wanted to hear what you had to say. You think one is wrong, which one do you think is right?

Interesting that you quote the bible even though you think most if it is wrong.

I don't think any of the organized religons is "right". Right is between you and God, we are unique individuals and our relationships with God will be similarly unique.

The operational word in you last sentence is "most". If I condemned the whole Bible out of hand then people would give me grief about it, but the fact is that I think the teachings of Jesus (Sermon on the Mount in Luke) and His choice of the two most important commandments (love God and love others as yourself) are excellent guides to living peacefully.

How would I know the answer to that? I have MANY of my own questions for God to answer.

God gave the Jews animal sacrifices for their salvation. I have no idea why they quit killing animals, but I'm glad they did.

Did you believe in God when you prayed?

You have many questions that God doesn't answer... but he is there... honest.

The day someone explains all the contradictions and plain errors in the Bible and Christian faith to me I might start giving Christianity some credit.

I desperatly wanted him to be there when I prayed to him, and you'd think that he would answer me if I wanted to believe. But OH NO, he needs to test my faith, just like how he placed dinosaur bones under the earth, to test our faith about the age of the Earth.

Whenever God doesn't help someone, or something goes wrong in the world, God is said to 'work in mysterious ways', or is 'testing someones faith.' If he cares so much, whats he playing at? Either, hes not there, or hes a bastard.

I doubt if contradictions can be explained in any religious book.

I definitely believe in God. There is absolutely no way the Big Bang Theory could create life from rocks.....and so much life in different forms and fashions.

Different manifestations of a single truth - the existence of god.

What is your problem with that?

That people are killing in the name of other religions, and God does nothing about it.

Really?

You are inclined to believe the words of someone based on how far removed from history they are from you?

Well for one I don't believe anyone is a prophet from God unless they prove it to me, not the people around them 2,000 years ago. Secondly, the validity of what he said is definetly questionable as the Bible has been translated and tampered with for the last 2,000 years.

And aside from the fact that jesus lived 2000 years prior to you, can you state exactly what he said that you don't believe and why?

I don't believe he is the son of God. I have never seen solid proof he is, or that God even exists. I don't believe he even said or did a lot of things he was said to have done. Have you watched zeitgeist. I found it fascinating. Give me some solid proof that Jesus is any different from every other prophet and that he can do what he said he can do and is where he said he was from or otherwise admit that your belief is pretty irrational.


One's religion doesn't affect the logical processes of reason - THAT'S THE POINT.[/QUOTE]

Well it kinda does because the belief in a being with no solid proof is irrational, and all decisions made using religion as a foundation are thus irrational.

That's your problem!

You need someone to tell you a self-evident truth.

The presence of God, or Jesus definetly being the son of God are both definetly not self evident. I don't need anyone to tell me anything, I need to see something so important with my own eyes. At least some solid proof apart from what people spout out of their mouth.

And when someone does come along and say it, you're not inclined to believe.

No I'm not. If someone came up to you and told you you were going to die tomorrow, would you believe it, just because some told you it but had no solid proof. Doubt you would.

Are you sure your brain cells haven't yet atrophied?

Excuse me but I'm not the one who believes in demons, angels, places outside of this earth, an almighty, all powerful, all loving, all knowing but still utterly useless God just because someone else told me it to be the truth with no proof.[/QUOTE]

Lemming all follow each other off a cliff, but just because the majority fall off the cliff doesn't mean that they are correct in doing so.

It is part of human nature to fabricate a load of BS in order to satsify ones need to fill a void of discomfort about what happens after you die. When people don't know the answer, they follow something that sounds attractive to them.

Just because a lot of people believe in something doesn't necessarily make it true (ie - flat earth and a geo-centric universe).

Perhaps we are hard-wired to believe in the supernatural: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/m...tml?ei=5090&en=43cfb46824423cea&ex=1330664400

They are killing and using religion/God as an excuse to kill.

You still refuse to answer my one question. Why did God leave people out in the cold for thousands of years before Christ?

If you answer that maybe I can bombard you with a couple more if you will let me.

How would I know? How would anyone know? Ask GOD for your answers.


I wish I knew more to be able to answer your questions.

Well seeing as God seems to talk to you and not me how about you ask him. Its a pretty pressing question that would definetly challange my faith.

Please show me where I said God talks to me.

 

[9sublime]

You gave me the impression you talk to him. Sorry if thats not the case, but if you do believe in him and he never talks to you I think it goes some way to proving my point.

I pray to God, sometimes even yell when I'm frustrated about something.

A spherical earth model came first, fyi.

Unless you can show a fallacy that has persisted for more than the duration of the entire recorded human history, and as universally adhered to as this, then your remarks doesn't really have a point, now, does it?
