Does a God exist?

We all have our faults EP.

All being the key word here, this thing is practically universal at some level, among people like us.


But let me completely demolish this stupid saying, as an aside - I'm getting tired of seeing it.

Yes, we all have our faults. The most obvious thing ever uttered in the English language. The thing is though, people usually say it as if that justifies their behaviour. No, it actually doesn't. You do have your faults, but once your attention is brought to them it becomes your moral responsibility(if you will) to actively work on them. At least if you're still looking to hold some sort of moral high ground, which you definitely seem to seek if you're attempting to excuse yourself in the first place.


And what purpose does it even serve anyway? Does it make you feel better to repeat this little mantra? It seems to me, you either care or you don't. If you don't why even bother bullshitting. *I'm not talking to you, specifically, of course, but you know what I'm saying*

Kin L mate. Nobody's perfect.

Did someone use that as an excuse for something really bad that happened to you? Like someone ran over your dog when they were drunk driving and was just like "Ok so maybe I had a drink but come on - we all have our faults!" in the voice of Archer. Is that why you hate it so much?

Like if they'd caught Hitler and put him on trial and the judge says to Hitler "You gassed 6 million Jews!" And Hitler was just like "Meh - we all have our faults..."

I think you are confusing faults with crimes.

Fantastic, I couldn't agree more EP.

I see you haven't quite got round to working on yours yet though, too busy?

This topic always gets a nice mix of objective morality, NDE's, evolution denial, scripture, and Mystic Knight will usually drop by with some babble about praise and worship.

He's quit the forum for now to concentrate on his studies, so that won't be happening anymore.

WTF is he studying?  The koran?

Probably do his doctoral dissertation on how many goats mohammed fucked on the day before his wedding.

Haven't seen anything in this thread to put me off of Xenu yet, you're not trying, people!!

Assuming God is a novelty ashtray from the 60's then yes I may have seen Him.

Can any of the theists here actually demonstrate that a God exists?

Can you concisely, empirically, logically or rationally meet your burden of proof to demonstrate that any God exists?

Please start by defining what you mean by 'God.'

No preaching please!

I think Jesus coming to earth, teaching, dying and then rising from the dead is a pretty good demonstration that God exists. First century Christians sure thought so--they said exactly that! How about that for concise?

Actually, in that culture, I wonder which is considered worse?
