Surley then you have no grounds to criticise something you are not willing to even consider. All you can say is "I'm not interested". The rest is pure uniformed bias.

There is no intelligence in the Bible or anything said in regards to God, God's, or any other imaginary being. History is one thing...the Bible is another. When I was a child I was willing to consider God. You know...when I believed in Santa and the Tooth fairy. Of course I'm not willing to consider God, the Bible, or those who wrote portions of the Bible.

fr0d0 the only thing logical to a Christian is faith which in my opinion is nothing more than voluntary ignorance of facts.JP did not prove how logical the existence of God was since as you saw in the exchanges I had with him,his logic only works if I in faith accept his Christian worldview as the starting point.

You got nowhere claiming ignorance of the facts CP. You're own view is illogically twisted, and that's your issue. The fact is that God is logically possible.

I totally agree. It's only logical in the christian worldview. All JP did was make baseless assertions.
We can't disprove god and nor can anyone prove god but it's the same with countless billions of characters. Too consider gods existence is to consider all other unprovable characters as well.

I stopped considering gods existence the moment I heard he was non-temporal. Being non-temporal means he is that far out of range of observation through the scientific method that it could never be proven nor dis-proven and so it would remain an endless argument. So I dismiss the god claim. So in the eyes of science and all observable methods, god does not exist. Unless evidence is found to prove otherwise.

I'd thought I'd bring this up for the sake of it. "A god that is responsible for the creation of a universe would be at least as complicated as the universe that it creates. Therefore, it too must require a designer. And its designer would require a designer also, ad infinitum. The argument for the existence of god is then a logical fallacy with or without the use of special pleading."
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

As they say "ignorance is bliss" the only possibility that god exists is when you suspend your ability to evaluate such matters through the processes of logic and reason.The argument that the existence of god cannot be proven but is logically possible is like saying that the existence of Zeus cannot be proven but is logically possible.In other words that formula of yours must apply to all the other gods and mythical characters.

And the argument that supports such a conclusion is...?

P.S. I am wondering if you are aware that your signature proudly champions a very basic logical fallacy, and whether or not you care. It's fine if you don't, of course; it's just weird that you parade it so proudly. (That is, "God does not exist. Unless there is evidence to prove otherwise.")
