RE: Terrible Atheist Argument #1
This debating is a lost cause. Just show your evidence confirming the existence of your god so we can all move along. But then again, there are theists who believe it's the atheist's duty to prove the deity does. Has there even ever been a legit search for god? The evidence that support evolution is partially the reason why I'm atheist. Where's your evidence supporting your beliefs? Let me take an educated guess; the grand canyon?

Why can't OP just go to christianforums? They get stickers for praying for people. At least he'll get something out of it.

Vinny is a bit more knowledgeable than 'Grand Canyon exists; therefore God.' If he wasn't, I wouldn't have bothered.

And we're not really debating, I'm just going through why I think ontological arguments are useless.

He can't be that knowledgeable. He's a theist on an atheist forums.

Fucking nature isn't a good idea. She will fuck you up
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

What do you mean by evidence?

As far as I can tell, both of those premises would apply to the Universe and neither would apply to God so that renders the who created God objection irrelevant.

That’s quite the non-sequitur.

Welcome back, SW!

By evidence I suppose information that would lead different people to the same conclusion is meant.

Those premises seem to make God unnecessary as an explanation for the existence of the universe.

Good point on the last comment, it was bad form.

Thanks my good friend. Angel

By this definition it would seem that such evidence does exist since the majority of people adhere to a theistic view of reality. This seems to be a fallacious appeal to popularity though.

That’s precisely why I am not a big fan of the cosmological argument. It’s inductive in nature and only demonstrates the need for a causal agent not the monotheistic god of the Bible. It gets us in the right direction but that’s all.

Yup, did not make much sense.
