Religion is a comfort zone for individuals who are weak-minded and have nothing else to turn to.

You are far from tackling the question. You are sugar-coating it with what you desire to be the truth.

Likewise, there isn't any science that says god can exist. You only consider him to be existing based solely on faith which by my standards is weak to the say the least.

Of course the choice ultimately is yours. The point of this debate is for you to show us, as all other theists have miserably failed to do, how a god can exist. Your sole objective it seems is to attack our views of life which is quite redundant imo.
ecolox Wrote:You only look at the by-products of bad religion, no wonder you don't know what you're saying.
The by-products of bad religion far outweigh any possibly good that religion has accomplished, therefore making any good clearly redundant.

I wouldn't go so far as to say all that.
Explain please.
