A doctor that study at the uni for 5, 6 or 7 years knows whether the person is alive or dead and also knows that a dead brain can not possibly put together any clear and sharp experiences.
Atheists problem is that they find impossible to say..........we were wrong......wrong all the way.
In other words atheists refuse to admit that they were mentally bankrupt.  Smile


Interesting.  Our best hope of insight into others is our insight regarding how we ourselves operate.

Something doesn't have to be real for me to hate it.

Santa Clause isn't real and I fucking hate that fat bastard.


Yahweh is a fraud. I hate that fake god too.

Right?
If you would have read my old post about the NDEs you would have understood that is quite natural that a real NDE experience with God can not possibly be given to anyone.

What? So does that mean you will never become a necronaut? Let me guess you're also not worthy of god showing you NDE? Because you could find a doctor to put you into clinical death and you could step into that other world, explore it and then tell us all about it.

But of course there is always an excuse why people can't explore it and what you're doing is nothing new it's called ad hoc hypothesis. It is quite common in paranormal research and in the work of pseudo scientists. What people like you do is constantly create new hypothesis to explain away facts that seem to refute your belief or theory. Like ESP researchers have been known to blame the hostile thoughts of onlookers for unconsciously influencing pointer readings on sensitive instruments. "The hostile vibes", they say, made it impossible for them to duplicate a positive ESP experiment. Being able to duplicate an experiment is essential to confirming its validity. Of course, if this objection is taken seriously, then no experiment on ESP can ever fail.

So you just keep inventing bullshit excuses and in the meantime Ricky has a message for you:

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Finally, something on which we agree.
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.'

Nine pages in, the "problem" with the word atheist is still religious dipshits.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I've never catered to the opinions of strangers before ... I see no reason to begin doing so now.

Name one good reason to believe god does exist.

My purpose isn't to convince you of anything, nor would I want to, my purpose here is to counter nonsensical arguments.

Ultimately it's up you to find out for yourself if God exists, as long as you can say you sincerely searched for an answer to that question and can say without any doubts that God doesn't exist... I'm cool with that, Just don't go to your grave with something as weak as "I don't know".

Really?  Because I’ve never seen you counter even one of the hundred or so fallacious arguments trotted out here daily by your fellow theists.  So, you don’t feel you have any responsibility at all to foster a positive argument for your position, but you think we are responsible for counter-arguments?  How does that work exactly?

It’s not that hard, really.  There is no evidence for any god, therefore I have no rational reason to believe one exists.  Two years at this forum, and I haven’t been presented with even a meager shred of evidence to make me to think otherwise. If a Theist can come to me with something, I’m all ears.

I can say without any doubt that God does not exist. As much as I can say that Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny don't exist.

Less sure about the underpants gnomes though.

I'm thinking there are more fertile fields for this purpose of yours. That whole mote/beam thing comes to mind.
