How can you be sure that God doesn't exist?
#13
RE: How can you be sure that God doesn't exist?
Far as I know most of the gods are already debunked. Like it is known today that all the major events described in the Bible never happened; just as ocean has been explored and nobody found Poseidon's pallace; wind gods are not neccessary; sky doesn't need to be held by some strong guy; etcetera.

But, of course, someone can always think up some new God with traits that are not easy to check (like God living in another galaxy), but still, the fact that we can neither prove nor disprove the existence of something does not put existence and non-existence on an even footing. It's not like the chances are 50/50 of God existence compared to his nonexistence.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
