Since I know that I do not believe in your imaginary friend, MK, and since I know that I have never seen convincing evidence for such an entity, I feel  profound antipathy towards you regarding the lies you regularly tell about us.

I do not forgive people who accuse me of dishonesty.  Ever.  At best you can apologize, and even then I probably would not trust you.

And if I could just *snap* my fingers and cause you to suffer a catastrophic, irreversible and permanent loss of faith, I'd do it without the slightest hesitation.

That's okay, we're not convinced you have the slightest clue regarding life, religion or civil coexistence. You're just being honest.

If I believe your doubt was rational, I would doubt God myself, but I don't believe it is.

And if we thought what you thought was of any import whatsoever convincing you of your error would seem more important than it does.

Are you not implying you have a good argument for the existence of god?

Then get used to the idea and stop being a sanctimonious prick.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I was wondering if you were referring to proofs I presented for God or for Islam.

Either would be good.


And if you don't have anything new, than what you have already been posting for years, don't expect anyone here to be convinced. All it takes to refute any of your previous arguments, is just a basic understanding of logic, and a modicum of critical thinking skills.

But by all means, have at it...

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
