| I believe god uses its (god is all genders at the same time) unlimited powers to make it impossible for humans to find prove it actually exists. In other words, even if god did exist, it's no different from it not existing so the question is irrelevant. |

She is simply so absolutely objective that our mortal, subjective existences cannot comprehend her without using metaphors to qualify her. For example, whether she is gendered/ungendered/multigendered/omnigendered, existent/nonexistent, or anthropic or not are only questions that serve to obscure the answer. In order for humanity to truly bring he within it's ken and achieve collective apotheosis, we must cast aside all subjective and pseudo-objective notions of existence.I believe god uses its (god is all genders at the same time) unlimited powers to make it impossible for humans to find prove it actually exists.

| In so much as I'm sure fairies, unicorns, leprechauns, Pegasuses, dragons, and all those untold numbers of gods that one must reject while clinging to their own psychotic mythology involving a God don't exist, I can say I'm sure that this fable is also false. Gods don't exist, and any half-way rational person should be able to see that, in so much that you can claim any of the other things I mentioned don't exist. There is not a shred of evidence despite centuries of testing and observation, the claims made in most religious doctrine contain outright contradictory elements, and the best 'evidence' available are books, littered with obviously fictional elements, some people wrote. The only thing that would convince me of a god or spirit's existence would be some actual, reproducible (Or extremely well documented, in the case of some divine prediction about the future, and would have to give specific time-frames and not be something humans could have any affect on) evidence. For instance, were the whole world color blind and I were not, I could set up an experiment to prove the existence of color even though others cannot perceive it- I set 10 boxes up of different colors that all others perceive as exactly the same (And set the experiment up to where cheating would be impossible, do it in many different locations with different staffs from independent research groups, etc), and place an object in one of the boxes and note the color, then have someone rearrange the boxes and I choose the proper colored box which contains the object, repeating the experiment as many times as necessary. Replace color perception with some type of spiritual one, and we'd have the same results- if someone actually spoke to god, he'd easily be able to tell him which box to pick and pick it consistently, yet no experiment has shown this to be the case. The reason for this, in any rational person's mind, is because the claim the participant made about speaking to this god was bull-shit. There are similar experiments for a wide variety of claims about gods, such as answering prayers and the like- not a single person has been able to meet anything remotely convincing that their claims of divine abilities are true. Please, realize people- gods are, more or less, imaginary friends. They are not real. |

Danim3 said: Blayze said: Blayze, there is one thing you're forgetting.It can't be proven, that God exists, but can it be proven otherwise? You can't say sure that there is no God until you prove it. Lack of evidence is not the proof. It sure looks like the Sun is going around Earth, and not other way round, yes? But it's not. Same here, with the facts I possess, it seems to me that there is no God. Someone may have experienced it otherwise, and could say, that there is God, in fact that would be plenty of people. I'm atheist, but I have nothing against Gods, religions and whatever. There are also some parts I actually like in them. But in my opinion, too many people are relying on their religion, and therefore do nothing with their lives. A lack of evidence certainly doesn't prove something doesn't exist, and I never claimed it did. I simply stated, without any evidence, all ridiculous claims about supernatural beings are on the same level as fairies, Santa Claus, etc. You can't prove they don't exist either, but anyone rational won't claim they exist until evidence for them is present. Maybe there's some leprechaun hiding in a cave no one's explored, just waiting to be found, but until we find it, any claims about it are just baseless speculations. Religions go far beyond just saying there's the potential that gods exist in some fashion, they claim to have knowledge about them, to know what they do, the reasons for their actions, that they make universes, that they'll judge you in some afterlife, that they interact with humans and set rules for them to follow, and ways in which an individual can interact with them (Such as prayer)- if even a few of their claims were true in virtually any religion, there would surely be an abundance of empirical evidence that would be available, yet despite this, there is none. Some may argue that the god just 'works in mysterious ways', or some other evasive answer to avoid facing reality, but if the god acts exactly like he doesn't exist, then to me it's infinitely more likely he doesn't exist at all than that it's hiding and waiting for you to die to throw you into a pit of flame for all eternity for not worshiping him (Or whatever it is they claim it's doing). A theory that is based on prior observations is going to be much more accurate than one based on potential future occurrences, so I for one am waiting until there is some evidence that [insert supernatural being] even exists before I go about claiming details about it. If someone can talk to god, see spirits, etc. then doing experiments to prove they can do so should be no problem at all, but there's yet to be even a single individual who can do so, and therefore, I must conclude it's fake, just as I do with Santa Claus and other mythologies. |

| When I said prove I meant it in the sense that it'd be virtually irrefutable using logic and reason, it's certainly acceptable to draw one's own conclusions of what is most likely based upon the evidence present or lacking, even if it's not an absolute certainty. Even if there are no witnesses or evidence pointing to a suspect, if you have a body with multiple gunshot wounds to the torso and no gun powder on the hands, you can safely draw the conclusion that it wasn't a suicide, given that it'd be (virtually) impossible for him to have done it himself. This would be a similar application of the logic involved in that assessment- because of the impossibility of shooting yourself multiple times, because there's no gunpowder on his hands, because of the lack of something, you can rule out certain possibilities. Because there is no evidence despite that there should be (Such as with the gunpowder), you can rule out the possibility of a god anything close to what religions describe. But yeah, I agree with you on the other points you raised, though I'm not sure if they're really happy. I know I for one wouldn't be happy believing in delusions, but there are plenty who seem fine with it, so whatever. |
| I suppose I should add, the original statement, 'A lack of evidence doesn't prove something doesn't exist' was more broad in context, as in there are things that can occur that don't leave any observable evidence behind. There are times when a lack of something leads to a conclusion. ((Simple example: The answer is either 0 or 1. The answer is not 0. Therefore, the answer is 1.)) |
| Sorry, the previous comment was an add on to my last one :s I make the best of what I have though, if I learned I only had some short amount of time remaining I'd enjoy myself for the time I have left, if I killed my friend or family, sure it'd suck, but I wouldn't kill myself because of it, that certainly wouldn't help, lol. Still, you're right, some people are helped by their belief in a god, though I hate the ones who claim that since their book claims murdering innocent person X is good it must be so (Homosexuals, people who work on the sabbath, etc.), and that's where my disdain for religion comes from mainly. |

In other words, even if god did exist, it's no different from it not existing so the question is irrelevant. So you say it's not important if the God does exist. Then why do people fight for God?. However, those people don't think about whether god is benevolent being who loves the good and hates evil as the books they read say, or whether he has a more "human" personality and treats humans the same way humans would treat characters in "The Sims". World peace is nice, but it would be rather boring to someone who observes us purely for enjoyment and has no other reason to watch us apart form personal enjoyment (assuming it is all-powerful and not answerable to anyone higher). Let's not forget that it god is immortal and watching the same thing for millions of years isn't exactly fun, is it? |

| There could be a god, if I had to choose I would say I don't believe in god though. |
| I believe in a higher power. Whether anyone else chooses to or not, does not phase me. I'm not going to argue about why I believe what I do either, it's not going to change anyones mind. |
