Theists - how certain are you that a God exists?

If god has been around for an 'infinity', then we would not be here as an infinite amount of time has not passed, nor ever will.

If god is placed 'outside' time, then our universe must be outside time as well.

If both are outside time, then there is no causality and everything just 'is'.

Without time god could not create the universe because there was no 'before there was a universe'.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.
