How do you define god? How do you define proof of god? If our senses cannot be trusted how do we know we are reading the bible right? How do we know we are not actually the imagination of a really clever sleeping goldfish? How do we know you exist? How many legs do you have? Are you god? What is a god anyway? What are the properties of a god? How do we know the properties of god if we cannot trust any of our senses? Where is god? How do we know where god is? How many gods are there and how can we know for certain? Im not sure if I have hands I cant trust my eyes. do I have hands?

DUDE YOU ARE FUCKING RETARDED!!!

And elunico13, by the way, you have managed to dodge the entire essence of my topic - why does god have to exist? All the things you are describing are post its existence.

@elunico13 Its incredible easy to ask a shit load of loaded questions. I think its about time a theist sat his ass down and answered ours instead of questioning us.

Evidence. Remember we must work with what we've got. Principles help a great deal. Like Occam's Razer and the like. I'm not surprised that you don't understand. God did it, must of been the only answer you've ever used.

What you're telling me is this visciuosly circular reasoning process you use. You're telling me you use what you've got, your senses, using your senses. That's like saying the sky is blue because its blue.
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.

Senses which have developed overtime through the process of evolution. Now where is your evidence of god without circular reasoning from the bible?
And dude, the sky is not blue.

Obviously you know nothing about 'evidence'. I guess you wouldn't would you?

You wanna answer Insanity X's post above? I think he made a rather good point.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Once again you ignore the questions. Scientific evidence has worked pretty fucking well up to this point. See that computer in front of you? Believe that is there? Yeah science, math, observation and technology bitch.

Plus your basically saying we can't be sure anything exists. And I somewhat agree. Who the hell knows for certain? But just turn the same logic back on to your pathetic god and see what happens.
