What would you consider to be evidence for God?
RE: What would you consider to be evidence for God?
And the problem is, as soon as God is defined in a scientific way he's no longer God.

Naturalism has supernaturalism in a stranglehold.

Wow just found the original demo version of Even Less by Porcupine Tree

A lot of the lyrics are different... some of the original lyrics are:

"Jesus was crucified for doing nothing
And God is worshiped for even less."

Less than doing nothing... in other words, being nothing haha.

Everyone is convinced of God's existence*; not everyone accepts God's authority which is the exercise of their God given 'free-will'. Remember, the Garden-of-Eden was made 'very good' (not perfect like some think), and then God made it even better by introduction free will.  



*Romans 1:20  For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

No, not everyone is convinced of Yahweh's existence, you simple-minded schmuck. Try thinking for yourself for a change, and quit hiding behind the Bible as your excuse for not thinking. I mean, if you are genuinely an idiot, that's one thing. But at least own it. Don't let an old book be the reason for your idiocy.

I am not convinced of gods existence so you and the bible are wrong on that point.

Obviously, we don't really know our own minds. Whatever would we do without that asshole, Paul, and his latter day monkey, snowtracks, to tell us what we really know?

Any evidence for one, So far it's been; Visions, Dreams, Vague shapes on things, Feelings and personal definitions.

Everyone is convinced of God's existence* ...

Who is everyone? Not only am I not convinced of god's existence, my personal take is that there is no god to be convinced of. Any god is logically impossible. For a god to exist requires infinite regression and we would not be here yet. The fact that we are here means no infinite regression and IMHO, no possibility of a god.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Why should we accept that the Bible is authoritative, or even reflects reality?


Remember, the Bible is not evidence, it is the claim.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
