So you think that there is no reasonable evidence god exists, and yet we do exist?

And so are you the god of bothering atheist forums?


lol no I'm the tooth fairy

So are atheists, people who do not believe in god? Do not believe the world is fair? and do not believe in themselves?

The truth is there is no reasonable evidence that God exists, because reasonable evidence is only considered something you can see or touch, in which case I don't think God is small enough to see, it's almost like saying look at your eye, without a mirror. or touch your finger with the same finger.

So are you going to go away now?

what about the air you breathe? How am I a troll?

sorry I'm challenging your beliefs, I just always felt like that is a healthier way to live. I challenge my own as well. You shouldn't just ignore challenges.

You haven't challenged a thing, you have nothing, you are irrelevant.

You couldn't even dance a stupid dance, you're just an inadequate defender of a non existent god who will punish you into eternity for your failure.

bicycle

Umm then why can't you answer my questions?

bicycle

and it sounds like your mad for some reason, but I did nothing

bicycle

sorry I meant questioned, not challenged, however that's the same thing and that's called denial if you can't acknowledge that...

Bald assertion. Your repeated reference to ideas of a god doesn't carry any weight.  Ideas do not necessarily equate to reality. I've brought this up before, and you've yet to address it.  

Quote from: bicycle on June 25, 2011, 05:10:36 PM...thousands of "God's" would just be dividing up the same idea into however people see fit, which would be ridiculous IMO

When those ideas plainly contradict each other, how are they "the same idea"?

Quote from: bicycle on June 25, 2011, 05:10:36 PMThere's a difference between knowing and believing, how would you know god does not exist, if there is no evidence[?]

Please cite any instance of me saying that I know a god doesn't exist.  Lack of evidence isn't conclusive proof of non-existence, but it does present an issue for those who assert existence.  For a deeper look at this you might read an article by Victor Stenger which looks at the issue of how lack of evidence presents a problem for those who assert the existence of a deity.

Quote from: bicycle on June 25, 2011, 05:10:36 PMDo you feel that people came up with the idea of God for no reason? Contrarily that's almost how I feel about atheism.

The fact that people came up with the idea of a god doesn't mean that any such god exists.  People came up with the idea of phlogiston, but that doesn't mean that it actually exists.  They had reasons for coming up with the idea, just as people have reasons for coming up with the idea of a god or gods. It doesn't necessarily follow that having a reason for coming up with an idea means that the idea has congruence with reality.
