Godschild Wrote:RE: Proof that God doesn't exist
@ FallentoReason, Jesus did not come into this world to forgive you or me of Adam and Eve's sin. He came to forgive me of my sin, you of your's and everyone of their's. Jesus did not come to forgive me of you sin, nor of Adam and Eve's sin, I had nothing to do with their sin, and they certainly did not make me sin. They are the reason sin became part of man and their sin affected all of mankind, but your sin is yours and mine is mine, period.
Remind me again why it is that I can even sin? I think the answer has the words "tree" and "knowledge" in there.

This movie stands in stark contrast to everything you believe, as such your appeal to this movie discounts any merrit your orginal arguement had. (It comes off as an desperate act) therefore it cuts any weight you may have had in your orginal arguement.
It would only be a desperate act if reality actually cared for one second about what my desires are, which you and I both know isn't the case. It doesn't matter what I think of Prometheus. It could very well be the reality.
Quote:Change the phrase 'science experiment' to a "demonstration in Faith" and I can agree with everything you just said. Because if we were to find/verify God, by our definations He/They fit the profiles we created of "Being from a Higher dimension" than us. and if you look at us being created in "His Image" apart of us has been made to exist in the higher dimension, but we have been put here to "Get it on with monkey men," and see if we can remain faithful to the Being in that other dimension.
I just find that to be the oddest explanation for our purpose. "God created you so you could make an ill-founded choice on whether to follow him or not. Muck up and you suffer eternally." Given the amount of people that never knew the bizzare game they got thrown into, I'd say God is borderline evil.
whateverist Wrote:Have any theists called you on this assumption that their God is all powerful? Perhaps, far from being a skill event, creating worlds is like a bad case of gas for a God. Yes, that's right, perhaps creating the world/universe is just a natural body function for a god. They don't choose what it looks like. It just comes out that way.
Come on theists! Don't make me do all the work for you. Don't let us get away with unwarranted assumptions about your skyboy's intentions. That may just all be one big, steaming pile of shit.
Not that I can recall. If they did have something to say about his omnipotence and how if you do this mental backflip then that is justified, then I'm probably just gonna give up. I think with every post I'm getting more apathetic towards the "GOD" concept. We may as well be debating how much the Hulk can lift.
Deceived Wrote:I see. Do you have a line of reasoning why God would choose the Big Bang?
I'm a little rusty on this topic, but I believe if you add up all the energy in the universe that he willed, it adds up to zero. That implies that the universe is flat (as opposed to some other abstract shape) which means everything expanded from a singularity i.e. the Big Bang.
