What would it take for you to believe in God?

[Tonus]

I depend on faith, because I think faith is superior to reason. Reason rests in what my own mental faculties can comprehend.

I think I spotted the problem.

Isn't it ironic? That's the cool thing about reason, it's objective and you can get better at it. This increases your chances of success in life. Faith on the other hand, is subjective. There's no way to gauge if you've got enough. Also we live in a world that has much better answers for things than faith.

In your mind, is your primary reason for not believing in God moral, scientific, or something completely different?

You are most impertinent if you presume to post in this forum without having already done enough extra-biblical (that is to say real) research to clearly and accurately answer this question on your own.

Can I just say how much I enjoy the wheedling tone of this thread's title? It almost feels like a very genteel con is taking place; "I know I can't provide real evidence for my god, but what rhetorical tricks can I employ to get you to believe anyway?"

[Mudhammam]

Why would you believe in something for which you have no evidence?

Do you believe in hope, joy, love, courage? If so, what is the testable evidence of these things?

Is this a question about solipsism?

I experience these emotions in concrete physiological states that can be conveyed to and understood by others. We can study them in a lab as chemical reactions in my brain. What's more, practically every human experiences these different states of being too and we're beginning to understand the neurological differences between us and those who don't.

So tell me what seems more logical that Constantine made Christianity the leading religion in Rome Empire and this is the cause of Christianity or do you have a more logical explanation?

What you call god is an emotional state we can't argue or knock some sense in you because your brain thinks it's survival is being threatened and you will deny everything even if our arguments seem logical and acceptable by a reasonable mind.

If you think that god is a white old dude in the sky looking over us I think that you didn't really matured from an mind of a child. If you name physical forces that govern the universe god,well this is something different, I also do believe in such god and all people that call them self atheists believe in a such god,but this god does not care for you or me nor does it care where you put your penis or what you marry,....

I don't really give a shit what you christians,muslims,jews and other primates believe in just don't stick your childish minds in politics or in decisions of other people that do not concern you. Your emotional state has done more than enough harm to our experience as human beings.

The lack if evidence

There is more physical and testable evidence for many of the truths of Christianity, than many things that are almost universally believed. The resurrection of Christ, example was seen by hundreds of people. What keeps you from believing that?

I've been avoiding this thread, mostly because it seemed boring lol. But well, I'm back and I'm wondering if you can provide any documentation of hundreds of people witnessing the ressurection of "Christ", or even any proof of the existence of a "Christ"?

Also, I want to share a little phenylethylamine, norepinephrine, dopamine, oxytocin, testosterone, and endorphins with all the people who get that believing in emotions is not the same as believing in things without visible evidence of their existence.
