Read half way through the thread but I've got to agree with F&F, this isn't worth killing any more time or braincells. What we have here is a troll calling everyone else a troll while insisting they stop strawmanning him even though he is the only one doing that.

I think that makes God and Superman fictional characters And just as Superman hates kryptonite, the god of the bible can't abide iron.
It's funny because he specifically told his people he would give them victory ov er enemies that had iron chariots. then as soon as they came up against said enemies they were on their own. (Joahu 47: 48 and Judges 1"19)

Asking evidence for God isn't a strawman, that doesn't even make any sense.
But it is a waste of time 99% of the time because 99% of the time God is defined in such a way that he is indistinguisable from nonexistence . . .
. . . or i.e. God is unfalsifiable, so it's not possible for there to be any evidence for God.
But as silly as it is to ask for evidence for X when evidence isn't possible for X, it's even sillier to believe in X when it's impossible for there to be any evidence for X, because that's identical to it being impossible for you to rationally believe in X, and yet you still believe.

Jesus Christ! Another twenty odd page god thread appears overnight. Pool; do you have any sort of evidence that this god of yours exists? If so, then send me a PM, cos as sure as fuck I'm not going to read one more post in this thread.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
