I do not have to prove he doesn't exist. Evaluating the silly positions of people like Drippy convinces me that all religion is bullshit from the word "go."

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.

Only if you were so unlucky to live in Palestine around 5 B.C.- 30 A.D. did God figure out he could reveal himself and still allow people to have their freedom. Oh, and if you have ever witnessed a miracle (which, conveniently and/or suspiciously, only believers seem to witness). Other than that, God must stay hidden to maintain our "free will"! Dirch's argument: "If evidence actually supported my beliefs, you would discredit them anyway. Therefore, evidence isn't really important."

If Rigor Mortis's own mother could not even convince him to stop writing Father Christmas every December, who are we to try to persuade him?  (January 14, 2014 at 4:36 pm)Drich Wrote: why do you assume God pulled the plug? Because you said it is God that is providing the evidence to the persons brain, once they ask for it. Also once provided with this evidence from God, these ex Christians still go on to disbelieve. This can't be very good evidence that God is providing. What is more God should know that the evidence he is providing isn't very good and that the person will go on to disbelieve, so he has the choice to make it better. He does not in these cases. I'm only a human and I can demonstrate my existence to anyone I want and they are incredibly unlikey to refute it. If they were going to hell for not believing in me, I'd put even more effort in. God is supposedly far more powerful than me, so should be even better at it. 
i know god exists because theres no possible way a universe can come from nothing. if you say the universe has always been here, i will call you illogical. god is real, and i believe he is the reason for the season

Why can't matter and energy exist eternally by some unknown properties, by unknown laws, which may be the case if there are multiple universes? This seems at least as reasonable as god, except your "hypothesis" has no predictability value whereas theoretical physicists are constantly making progress by testing their theorems in the real world. 
"You can't prove God exists" is the response of a person too dishonest or cowardly to admit that he/she cannot prove that he does.
"You have to approach God on his terms" is the response of someone too dishonest or cowardly to admit that they suffer from terminal confirmation bias. |
