Evidence god does not exist

[Captain Scarlet]

Argument ad populum simply does not apply when we are talking about people in such vast quantities with such vastly different backgrounds. It is entirely possible that a person could believe something because they were raised to believe it, but ultimately it is a personal choice to believe something or not. It is not a decision made for some one, it cannot be.

"Statistics mean nothing to the individual."

The experiences themselves occured, that much is undeniable if you accept that there is an objective reality. You cannot statictic-ize such a large number of people, however, as being delusional or believing for the wrong reasons. It is simply too broad a generalization.

The argument from personal experience for the existence of god is self refuting. Millions of people have experiences of all sorts of dieties and have done so throughout recorded history. Allow one expereince, allow them all and therefore all religions are true and therefore all are false.

Finally you cannot dismiss those who directly apprehend the non existence of god. If you would like an example try the letters of Mother Teresa writing to the Catholic hierarchy. Only these are dismissed as evidence of suffering. Clear confirmation bias.

Still heard no reason why reasonable unbelief is unsound and therefore god cannot be all loving.
