No

Yeah, and god doesn't make sense. God isn't simply unseen, he is unseeable. No on can ever see god...

Exodus 33:20- But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”


John 1:18- No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.


...except when they can:

Exodus 24:9-11 - "Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up 10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli, as bright blue as the sky. 11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank."

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

Quotes from corrupted Bible can't be used here to corroborate your argument. I. Am not a believer in christianity.

Yes, one of the tree got off, and some religious bloke took the wrap, but they tacked on this crappy ending.

I know you started the thread, but I wasn't targeting you specifically. I was just making the point, since christianity is the most mainstream religion. By the way, if you don't believe in christianity, and simply label yourself a monotheist, do you believe in a sort of generic god?

You would be shitting in your pants if ghost make himself visible infront of you. What more do you expect if supreme being shows up to deliver the message.

We'll cross that bridge when we get there. So far no supreme being has showed up.
