3. Therefore there aren't any proofs of God.
A lot of people argue similarly on the lines of the following (which is similar but not exactly the same):
1. If people were presented with proofs of God, they would believe in God.
2. Some don't believe in God.
3. Therefore they weren't presented with proofs of God.
I would say for these two arguments to be true. The following would have to be true as well. That for example, Sunnis would accept proofs that point to Shiism if they are conclusive, clear and decisive. However I believe such proofs exist. However people turn away from it. Even when a lot of people are presented evidence they turn away from it.
Quote:The human phenomenon as far as accepting truth goes, it seems, that we haven't over all reached a mass status where almost everyone is sincere towards the truth that if they were proven something they would believe.We may be there now, but you, being married to your ideology, refuse to acknowledge this. You would be a prime example of the thing you criticize in others. You believe in supernatural locks ffs.....
One day we may get there - but till then - this sort of reasoning that people accept positive claims when it's proven to them seems rather naive of the situation humanity is in.
Quote:To be honest, I'm not sure how people cannot see what they are and the signs of God in themselves, aside from not reflecting. But when people reflect, it should be obvious.What should be obvious? What? Yes, we know that you believe that something else™ " is preventing them from believing, a fairy curse..........you've told us.....this is why the irony is delicious. Go on, tell us more about how people cling to their absurd beliefs in the absence or even face of evidence and reason.
A lot of people here have reflected I believe - but - there is something else preventing them from believing. They see but then take their disbelief as proof of their blindness towards the light of God, to the extent they have become blind towards it despite it's clear indications and reminder.
