I'm just stopping by to debate and discuss religion and I often wonder why people turn to atheism if God can't be proven or disproven. It makes me think why would people turn their back on a God if they are not 100% sure? Even the author of the book, "The God Delusion" admitted that he cannot prove Jesus wasn't God. So, it makes me wonder why would someone take such a dangerous risk with their eternal fate.
I will reply to everyone in a friendly manner, but I will NOT reply to insults, defamatory statements or remarks, or slanderous remarks towards God.
If you want to hold a civilized debate about God, then let's get this place rockin'!
Hello, and welcome, Psalm 23. I can't speak for anyone else but from my observations atheist abandon the idea of a Creator God as well as worship of any gods due to the simple fact that they don't buy into it. They have a great deal of reason for doing so. They tend to be science minded and political with a strong social conscience and apostate religion seem to be opposed to those things. Ultimately, I think, it is really all about the gross misrepresentation of God by religious maddness from the past that has literally pushed God out of the minds of most people both Xian and Atheist.
I don't know about the author of The God Delission not being able to prove Jesus wasn't God but I can.
Anyway, welcome and I hope we can have some good discussions, but I tend to shy away from discussions that come from a sort of religious defense. I got tired of debating Xian dogma ages ago. I prefer to concentrate on the Bible.
