Quote:I'm sorry WHAT?!?! Theism has more evidence than atheism?
Cosmological argument, fine tuning argument, morality argument...
You can dismiss them, but they are stong arguments for the case of theism, well at least Deism.
As I have said before, the reason why I am a Theist (Christian) is because Jesus died and rose again, there is enough evidence to say that.
Quote:You REALLY don't see it? Look closely, no, closer... See it now, Staring you in the face? "Everything has a cause, but oh that god thing doesn't. God must be more complex than the universe to have created it." By that logic it would be more realistic to believe the universe (something LESS complex) had no beginning and is therefore always been here than to believe god has no beginning (as he would be MORE complex).
Attempting to use Occam's razor hear is silly, modern physics and astronomy would have to be thrown into a bin if Occam's Razor was always true.
When we are talking about the origins of the universe you can't invoke Occam's razor...
Quote:Of course if a god did create the universe than what makes people sure they are following the right god and it's not one of the thousands of gods people have invented over the years to explain things they don't understand. Then even if the Christians, Muslims and Jews have got it right, what makes either one think they understand how he wants us to live our lives and that their book is right? Then even if say Christians are the right ones, and the bible is the right book, how are we supposed to read the book? Literally? As stories? Not even the Christians agree. Pfft....nobody knows if a god exists and if one did certainly nobody knows how he wants us to live...Atheists are able to admit that, religious people are not.
This is a good point. When I read the Quran for the first time, I was surpised what kind of God was potrayed, it was rather scary. I concluded I was a Christians because I dont like how other Religions view on God. However, there is a lot of evidence to say that Jesus was the Christ. If Jesus was the Christ, it would mean that the followers of Jesus (Not Christians) would be right about what they claimed, thus, making the Bible the book God reveals Himself in...
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
You dont hate God, you hate the church game.
