Exactly. If there is a god, we have no way to learn about it. People make crap up because they don't like uncertainty.

Haven't you heard?
The new Xtian "unfalsifiable fact" is now a "solid core fact". Let's not split hairs over the minor difference.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

To OP "onmytablet512".
The proof for a lack of "god" is everywhere! Look around you!
Define "god" and we'll show you where he's not!
Is he outside and above the laws of this physical universe?
If so, then you not only have no proof, you have no theory, no hypothesis. Just another mad man making wild unsubstantiated claims?
Kindergarten kiddies have more common sense than that ...
You gotta give us something more than that....
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

That leaves us 1.5 sources. Not bad for someone who wandered all around Galilee performing miracles, preaching in temples as a small boy, overturning tables of the money changers in the temple and preaching to 5,000 people plus (which is more that saw the 5th round replay between Nazareth FC and Betlehem Academicals in 76 AD).
If you are not nice to me, I WILL mention you in my suicide note.

You guys settle that. In the meantime, I've got mathematical proof that god doesn't exist.
God created the universe.
Universe = all that exists
That means:
(God) (universe/all that exists)
As you can see, god is not a member of the set universe/all that exists. Ergo, god doesn't exist.

So instead of lets say for shits and giggles, looking for your own answers for all this, you're content with false answers given to you in a 2,000 year old book... basically, god did it... Good things happen, god did it..PRAISE THE LORD!! Bad things happen.. god works in mysterious ways... god wanted those people to die.. god wanted that earthquake to happen.. god wanted that woman to get raped.... why? idk.. god works in myserious ways.. what a bullshit copout... and.. and.. at the same time, with your logic, the man/men who did the raping... all they have to do is repent and all is forgiven... please, it's all bullshit

I came across the perfect quote for this thread:
Science works on the frontier between knowledge and ignorance. We're not afraid to admit what we don't know. There's no shame in that. The only shame is to pretend we have all the answers.

Theists invent/imagine deities. The burden of proof/evidence of existence is on the theist.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
