What would you consider to be evidence for God?

You don't post to dialog, you post because you're an insecure twat who can't handle the fact that some people believe differently than you do.

Quote:The evidence is Creation and Scripture

Bullshit.  Your fucking 'scripture' is heavily edited propaganda written by and for the ruling class of a bunch of goat herders.  And as far as 'creation' goes your ass would drip honey if it had 1/1,000,000 of the evidence that the Big Bang has.

But god is real, I just know it! And everyone truly believes in him, even when they say he doesn't exist - because my brain cannot process such a thing! I just know god is real even though he's invisible, untraceable, doesn't seem to affect anything, the world is full of chaos, and....and....and....*sob*

You know, I used to wonder if it would ever get old. It doesn't. It's always funny. And kind of sad.

Proof of God #84:

Dude sucks my dick on live television while I pose with my over-sized check after winning a $150MM lottery. If he can't make this happen, what fucking use is he?

Knowing that God has serious issues with public displays of affection, I'll forgo my videoed dick sucking demand and give half my earnings to the church of his choice. 

I won't hold my breathe.

Evidence for God? Depends on the definition. If God is just a euphemism for goodness, it's rare but a hell of a lot easier to find than if you define God as a magic genie which has no place in the natural world and yet is its originator. Right! Anyone ever catches one of those be sure to let me know. I'll just go on with my natural life until then.

Excuse Me, Snowtracks but I am an atheist who does not believe in your god, and who does indeed have problems with the mythological horse poop that you call "data."

It sounds very much like you are accusing Me and other nonbelievers of lying about our reasons for not believing.  That's insufferably rude of you, and does your alleged god no honour at all.  Why would we want to become like you?

That is a completely inadequate reason, for a munber of reasons, the most glaring of which being it doesn't explain the utter lack of evidence for god, nor why anybody needs assume he is a necessary being.

Your second paragraph, despite your protestation, describes the philosophy of science as a little known conspiracy to keep the truth unknown, which is deeply ironic for two reasons. First it is religion, not science which has a long and ignominious record if denying the truth and torturing those who dare to say it. And second, science's central premise is the elimination of the wrong. The scientific method is not primarily abot confirming rightness but weeding out wrongness. Something can pnly be considered right in science if it keeps passing the tests over and over and over again. Just because something you want to be true doesn't conform with this system, it doesn't follow that the system is wrong, but it is far more likely that you are wrong (especially seeing as not only are you unwilling to provide evidence, but that you insist that evidence is impossible).

You want the world to presuppose god simply because it would make you happy and give your unimaginative and limited brain meaning. Reality does not work that way.
Using 11 'you' seems unimaginative to me. Atheist pretend they don't believe in God's existence by feigning they have problems with the data.

I've read the bible, so I know the being depicted therein is not a moral being. First of all he holds humans responible for the flaws he created in them, second he committed genocide as punishment for those flaws (ie he punished the victims of his crime), third he created an eternal punishment for finite transgressions, some of which are so minor no moral being would punish them.

Humans evolved from ape like ancestors, and are most definitely not made "in god's image", and in some ways are quite badly adapted (eg we still don't have hips suitable for bipedal locomotion). There is no such thing as a soul, and what you think of as a soul is a result of both the complex workings of the brain and our interactions with other humans and our environment.

Oh and I love your throwing in of the fallacy that atheists know god exists but pretend he doesn't because...reasons. Atheists don't believe in any god because they have not been given any evidence to show that any god exists, and there is plenty of evidence that gods are simply human creations to explain natural phenomena not understood at the time.
