Nah Braveheart, the lack of evidence for god's existence is evidence for god's existence. Divine Hiddeness ftw.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Other species live pretty much to eat and sleep -- survival. If our evolution were only a result of natural selection, shouldn’t other species, or even just one, have evolved into intelligent beings after millions of years? But the fact is that no other species have been able to develop science, literature, art, music and intelligent thought process as humans have. Isn’t this evidence that God exists?
Yes it is, and for several reasons. For one thing it corroborates what’s written in the bible, which is that God created man in his image, and that animals are inferior. But to truly understand why my evidence points towards a deity one needs to be able to appreciate the grandness of this gift that is human intelligence. And you have to ask yourself, why are we the only species, out of millions, that have achieved this type of intelligence? Evolution is about natural selection, but shouldn’t at least one other species, out of millions, have benefited from intelligence? I think so. And there would be a myriad of other intelligent species if there were no God. If you can appreciate the grandness and uniqueness of human intelligence, then you’ll understand why only humans were given this gift, and you'll know why what I've outlined here points to a God.
The reason the god of the Bible exists (in the minds of believers) is because such an intelligent species has conjured him among several other gods. Believers in this god have created him in their own image, not the other way around. Every god who has ever been invented has a personality and emotions. Why is that? Think about it. It's a projection of ourselves onto what we cannot comprehend.
God is a personification of ourselves, what we wish to be, and that which we do not understand.

Okay let's continue with this business.
- There is no evidence that God exists.

Personaly I think that abscence of evidence can be evidence of abscence.

Dear theists:
Your excuses are lame, your arguements rely on logical fallacies, and despite being on the 140th page of a long discussion, you're still the ones making a claim with no evidence.
Sounds like game, set, and match to me.
Can this thread embrace the sweet, sweet release of death yet?
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

I don't know, DOA. This thread is a tribute to their ineptitude.
It should probably be bronzed.

But I agree with DOA that death would be a godsend (did I really say that?  ).
We would, however, have to agree on euthanasia first.

Even if there were evidence of a god existing...
...what then?
Which god? What god? How many of them? What is its demenor?
If you found evidence that a god exists, it does not mean that said god still exists today?
Can you prove that it exists here and now?
Can a god start a universe and then die in the past, resulting in a current godless universe... therefore making BOTH the atheists and theists correct?

Well if reality is circular and you could convince God to send a destroying bolt toward you then dodge it, you could cause it to circle back around and destroy him.

If we have to go through all that shit again if He resurrects Himself then I hope He will stay dead.
Luckily with death the odds are on my side that He will!
