You WANT to believe in God. That's up to you.
I see no point in treating Dagda any differently to you.
I say that the probability is that God doesn't exist. You and Dagda must give me evidence to alter that probability if I am to take you both seriously.
Bozo, I'm trying to explain how the thinking processes are 'different' when you believe in a god. I now understand very clearly how atheists view such subjects such as 'god' or the supernatural. Why do you get impatient with us? I have presented my 'proofs' of a God on here before and have had many interesting debates (not with you I don't think). We can't all be patient. I know that. I see threads going on that don't interest me so I keep out of them. Logically speaking you can tell someone their argument or request is itself flawed ie Dagda wanting non belivers to present proof that there is no God but surely it's good to point this out in a way that helps the person?

I've just started it. I'll let you know as I get into it. So far so good.
True Unbeliever, thanks for your feedback on this. Maybe it is my mind playing a trick on me and the 'beliefs' I have held since a child, that make me 'see' God in the things around me! This is what I am trying to ascertain. Having said that I'm in good company. Many great scientists have also seen this 'mirage' too.
