A conflict of ideas does not have to result in insults and name calling which is where I get annoyed!
Norfolk, not helpful. I haven't worked out there is no Almighty because there is no scientific method to determine the existence or non-existence of God. As such, I have to go with my experiences and beliefs built up upon them. I understand completely that everyone will have different points of view and everyone is equally entitled to them. Let's not allow ourselves to get involved in arguments that revolve around "I'm right, you're wrong, if you can't see it then you're stupid"
You can't have personal experiences with a non existent being, only personal delusions.
There is no reason for god to exist, so he doesn't.
And of course everybody is entitled to have their opinion, just as I'm entitled to laugh at them.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
