Discounting God in two words.

RE: Discounting God in two words.
I'll see your two words and raise you dismissing God entirely out of hand with one word:

"So?"

What kind of evidence do you require?

That fails. 

If God really exists, then "So?" is anything but the correct response.

It's worked very well for me so far.

RE: Discounting God in two words.
Really the two sides have to come to a consensus about what evidence is, because some theists will say the evidence is everywhere. They grasp at straws, more than anything. One thing to go over is finding a piece of evidence that doesn't fit every other god out there. trees are as much proof for Gaia as they are of Yahweh.

Joseph Smith
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

And so far, you have no experience of the Living God. That can change in the blink of an eye, however, so be of good cheer.

How's the reading of Mere Christianity coming along?

Well, if he wants to come interact with me he is quite welcome to. We can have a relationship. I'm just not interested in worship or cults.

I won't be reading that. I'm pretty sure I already listened to Steve Shives dissect it. The truth of Christinaity is of no consequence to me.

RE: Discounting God in two words.
If the Living God wants a relationship, I'll be waiting. But if I have to take leaps of faith and lie to myself about what makes sense to me, I doubt I'd want a relationship with him/her/it anyway.
