What would you consider to be evidence for God?
|
Until then, we're perfectly justified in withholding belief.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm looking forward to it. He got some 'splainin to do.
More likely, he's already tried turning up, and was indistinguishable from every other person claiming to be Jesus or God. Hell, I've claimed to be God myself and no one has taken me seriously. Boy would you be in trouble if I actually was. And perhaps I am. Or maybe it would go more like this. http://youtu.be/tciBru32oDU Feel free to send me a private message.

I call bullshit!

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

In a thread called "What would you consider to be evidence for God?", that's especially ironic.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

The number of unbelievers wasn't 700 to 1 in 100ce, most everbody back then believed in some god or other back then. In fact there are now more atheists than at any point in recorded history, so even if your point was valid it has been trumped by circumstances, as religion is dying out.
