    Some people here in the forums have discussed the existence of God, stating that they have seen no proof, while others have proclaimed there is proof all around. If you do not search your heart, mind and soul, then no proof can be shown. If you believe you have no soul to begin with, then YOU are LOST.

        The belief in God is a gift. Nobody can change the way you perceive things around you. Lacking this gift is the only way how people, who are not stupid (or having other problems), can think illogically. These people are able to look at all the beauty of the nature, feel the perfect system around them (while not having a clue how the heck could something so perfect be created) and when being asked if they believe in God they say NO and are even happy and satisfied with their answer.

          Actually - the belief in god is a delusion bought on by a complete lack of imagination and fear. These people who believe in Invisible Super Beings and not stupid exactly - they just cannot bear to not know something and rather than do any work to answer the questions - take the easy answer - God dunnit.

          Sadly - this also seems to come with a condescending attitude that causes wars and ill will wherever they express it. They are even happy and satisfied with this meaningless answer - despite the cognitive dissonance and constant warfare caused by it.

          Odd. wink

            I just wanted to keep it short because discussions like these don't have a positive or changing impact anyway.
            You said "they do anything rather than do any work to answer the questions". smile I've always loved physics, read everything that's got something to do with technology and the nature and trust me I have a lot lot more knowledge in these areas than anybody else here. And I still say that the biggest fools are people who spend their whole lives trying to figure out things. I always lough when I see some huge biggest experts saying things like "Just make sure you eat a lot of THIS because there's a lot of Vitamin D, then you ALSO have to eat a lot of THAT because there's THIS". And a few years later - "OK we have found that you can't eat a lot of this because there's THIS increasing in your body, but you know what? You can...etc. Now, I do love development, but I'm just pointing out their simplicity. The dumbest monkey in the jungle knows that if it eats this banana, this leaf and that insect then he's OK. The nature is perfect. If we ate everything that is meant for us like vegetables, fruits ..blah blah. and in balance then we would be healthier. The only thing that makes things go out of balance is humans that are influenced by ...(and now it's starting to be spiritual, stop reading smile) positive and negative energies (call it whatever u like). There's good and there's bad. People are the only creatures that can hurt the nature and make it go the bad way. And it's not because we are most intelligent. If monkeys wanted, you would be very surprised what they could do. Our brains are OK, it is our souls that can be and are tempted by evil. And it is the evil that makes people look less intelligent than monkeys and have them always trying to find out things like what is healthy and what's not and blah blah. People will always be full of doubts even about the most elementary things thinking how logical and intelligent they are.

            And the wars you're talking about just confirm all that I was just saying.

          Is that somewhere in the Bible or the Quran or some other holy book, or is that your personal opinion?



          When I look out my window, I perceive the world as being flat. Does the evidence of the world being round not change that perception?



          I suspect that your claim "not having a clue how the heck could something so perfect be created" is based on your own knowledge and understanding of the world around you, and not others who do have a clue? smile

                    Why is it inherently flawed? What is your "reasoning" for that claim? wink



                    One can propose anything they want, does that necessarily make it true?



                    Not really, that only proves you have admitted to yourself that you were a "cursing, drinking, smoking, gambling,  bastard" and you wanted to change. Therapy and counseling may very well have produced the same results as turning to religion.

                    Unfortunately, the problem you have admitted has not yet been addressed, but only masked by the crutch of religion. Therapy and counseling, on the other hand, would have had you face those problems and deal with them once and for all.

              I also don't see the need for a "reason" for our world to be here.

              There most likely was an action that brought our universe into existence. I don't see anything magical or divine within that action.

      Yeah I have been asked for proof.  Of course he can't be seen.  I have compared God to the wind.  Ya can't see the wind, you see the effects it has on the leaves, you can feel the wind on your face, but you can't see it.  Same with God.  We can't see him, but we see the effects he has, and we can feel him.  I was told you can see the atmosphere, same thing.  No, the wind, air, is invisible.  Any one who can see air has a lot better eyes than I do.

          Sounds like an idiot god who has no comprehension of human nature, kinda like those who are religious. lol

          The god of the bible and every other religion, claims omnipotence, therefore knows everything including what will happen.

          Therefore, contradicts. Because any god that would be omnipotence would know about human nature, and realize simple faith or belief would never be enough. Knowing that, it/he/she or whatever, would have to make their individual presence KNOWN for certain.

          The fact that you have to use faith and belief is ridiculous and proves there is no god.

      How can you be silly enough to ask for proof when proof is subjective? 

      How many innocent people have gone to a state-sponsored deaths because the state "provided evidence", while the jury "believed" that the evidence presented in "good faith" by the state supported a subjective opinion of guilty? 

      If you ask for proof, you are not interested in rational discourse; you only want to sell an opinion to the jury.

      Science and religion. Faith and fact. Seems as though there would be a simple approach to this subject, but there is not. Logic overrides faith while faith attempts to hold it's ground on the same merits. Shall we go around in circles? There is only one way to approach this topic. Scientifically or religiously. The two do not combine in the same conversation. They do but that is termed a  argument. When the time comes we will all learn a lesson but until then agree to disagree. Who knows what lies on the other side? What I do know is this; either way, none of us are in a hurry to prove it. We all have the same guarantee when we enter into this world; we will all die. Be patient there will come a time when we all will know the answer to this question. Until then, lets just argue about sports.

      To believe in God is to believe that you have a higher moral standard than someone who does not. To believe in God means that you have a obligation to uphold what is true based on your beliefs. You do no have a right to call someone out of their name because they disagree with you. Freedom of speech is what I think it is called. The freedom to think is a personal freedom that every one of us shares. To become angry with someone because they do not think as you do is not very God like at all. Those who believe now may not believe later, while those  who do not believe now may come to believe later. There are people who live in the same cities as we do who have nothing to eat or nowhere to sleep. If you believe in God let your actions be a reflection of that. Do something or say something that would be pleasing in Gods sight other then just saying I believe. Hitler believed in God. Words without actions are the work of morons. Give a hungry person something to eat and you can better prove God through your actions of kindness. If all the people who believe in God practiced what they preached, we might just come to find out that heaven is on earth.

    So should I dismiss them because without seeing them, you can't prove to me that Mars is really out there? 
    No.
    I have faith that there really is a place called China.  I have faith that the planets are really out there orbiting gracefully in the silence and darkness of space.
    I have never seen, but I believe.  Why is it such a stretch then to believe that there is a God out there as well? 
    It often occurs to me that while Atheists demand proof before they believe, it could just as easily be argued that they can not prove He doesn't exist, either.  Wouldn't it be better to err on the side of caution?

      You see, I too believed this idiot Pascal in my previous life. I too thought I would make it to Heaven. But God knew what I was up to from the get go!

      'He' sent me back to Earth and punished me with another mortal life, with even more temptations from people like you,....telling me to believe for the sake of believing and err on the side of caution.

        Exactly.

        God wants good, moral, hard-working and honest people in heaven, so the ones who get into heaven will be only those who question and search intensely for truth instead of lazily accepting someone else's word on the matter - meaning the humanists, agnostics, and atheists have the edge in a heavenly reward, and the lazy-minded fundie bible thumpers had best study up on Prisoner's Dilemma to hold down their time served in hell.

      What proof, as an atheists, do you have that will prove there is no God.

        Mom,

        You are attempting the Argument from Ignorance - showing that atheism cannot disprove God does then by default prove God. 

        When it comes to proof and truth, it is always determined by the opinion of the observer.  Relax, no one can change your mind about God unless you let them.

    Examine the light within to discover the eternal now and with that the other dimension-thence God. Life is a journey of discovery that is predestined. Enjoy that journey and at all times be oneself and simply observe the space around us and within.

    So the proof of god didn't have anything to do with it.....I saved myself from piles from hell!

      (the words of God...)

      Sherrilynn,

      The words of God say that donkeys can talk to humans.
      The words of God say that touching Eliza's bones caused a dead man to come back to life.
      The words of God say that an Army was resurrected from skeletal bones.
      The words of God say that a human priest had no mother and no father, was never born, but would live forever.
      The words of God say that sprinkling the blood of a bird in a house is the cure for leprosy.

      Who is it again that hasn't read the words?

        Where did the God's word say all these things? Please quote from  Quran; the only protected and secure Word existing in the original language it was revealed.

        It is not mentioned there.

          It said so in the bible, which, according to Christian opinion, is a holy book.  I hope you have the good sense to agree that the Quran is only YOUR opinion of what a holy book is, as well?

          Me, I have my own holy book: "that's the way things go when you elevate mediocre people to positions of authority."  Catch 22, Chapter 29, page 335

    When some one has a question in their mind, that they don't have an answer for they are out of balance, (out of homiostasis)

    Proof of this the need to be in homiostasis, if someone says can you keep a secret? Then says never mind you will go nuts and probably force the secret out of your tormenter.

    Well if a question can't be answered, the victim of homiostasis imbalance will invent an answer.

    Where did we come from? What is the meaning of life? What happens after we die?

    Many different answers have been invented over the years.

    Some people don't "get" that belief in God is all about faith. If everyone could see Him, like for example, we see trees, what would be the point? The faith part would be lost. I totally believe in a Supreme Being. Maybe He's a guy with a long white beard, or perhaps He's an alien.

      Perhaps, faith is not the point, then. Perhaps, if we did actually see a god, we would all know him and understand him, rather than believing in one thing or another that does little more than cause wars.

    Proof Of God?

    Asking proof of the Creator- God Allah YHWH, in my opinion, is like a blind person asking proof of the Sun, that he would believe that there is a Sun only if he sees the Sun.

    Would he be reasonable? Anybody please.

      That is almost as difficult as describing reality to the religious believer, the only difference is that the blind man will get a sun burn. smile

        I guess the pain of the sunburn would be proof than wouldn't it?  After all, a blind man can't actually "see" anything so a blind man saying he won't believe in the sun unless he sees it doesn't even make sense since he can't see anything else either.

      Very good!  He is blind, so of course he can't see the sun.
      He can feel the effects the sun has on his face.
      We can't see God, but, we do feel him.

    A tiring debate.


    Whether there's a god or not -- which there probably isn't -- the more hateful you are, the more evil you are. Evil isn't tangible, but it does exist in mankind as part of our nature. For the most part religion seems to embrace evil without knowing how they are doing so.

    Just my 2 cents on the topic. Probably wont remember to come here to check replies lol
