Well can you prove that God DOESN'T Exist? When you can you may rag on me to your hearts content. In the mean time STFU!
I don't try to convert you do I? Leave me to cling to my guns and religion.
How should I put this... No atheist owes you any explanations. We're not the ones parading around fantasies about incestuous, fact averse, hateful monsters ruling the universe as incompetently as they can. We're not the ones trying to teach innocent children that magic fairy son-killing attention whores created the universe in spite of indisputable facts to the contrary.
What it boils down to is that religion (all religion) makes incredible fantastic and uneducated claims that cannot be supported or accepted as fact by intelligent beings. Therefore, the burden of proof falls on those making the claims, not the other way around. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Religion offers none whatsoever.
Thats not a misconception. Its true. Atheists and Nihilists are one of the same. They think they are smarter, therefore they must be smarter. They don't fool anyone and the main reason why they are considered kooks and crazies.
But believing in a god that's the creator of a universe six orders of magnitude larger than your Sun, manipulates particles at will anywhere in said universe, and has all of time planned out, and cares about You, personally, is somehow not crazy... We think we're smarter because we are.
Everything in universe you live in. Done.
But here... A really good example would be the internet you're using. A social and technological artifact (even here still in its infancy) capable of moving ideas, managing money, creating jobs and evolving society by way of breaking down massive cultural barriers with relative ease. If there were a god as you say, there is NO way it would have been able to sit idly by watching its slaves grow more enlightened and less enslaved to it by the hour. god didn't tolerate the worship of false idols 5,000 years ago, when the world population was less than Germany's today. Your god sent a flood to destroy a far less sinful and freethinking society when he was no longer appeased. But today, with no effort whatsoever, energy that was dedicated to worship can now more effectively used for entertainment, learning, pornography, whatever, with next to ZERO effort. And now that the world population is over 7 billion, when it's a few orders of magnitude more important to keep folks in line here, your god, your all powerful jealous god, is doing NOTHING about it.
Looks like god didn't count on that one, ooops.
Well Science told us that Global warming was fate acompli, NOW we find it was a fraud. So Science isn't the be all, end all either. How about a comment on the bond rating down grade brought on by the Progressive Libtards????? HMMMM Crickets on that one. Still waiting for scientific proof that God doesn't exist
Global Warming is very real and is currently effecting you profoundly.
Let me ask you something. Using your own ridiculous standard here, what are we to make of your god every time a priest (deleted) a ten year old boy? Think before you're answering, because there are only two possibilities. One, no god exists. Two, god exists, and fully sanctions these events. Either there's no god, or there is a god who is no friend of any human being, anywhere.
Just going by the people presenting his message. As you seem to be WRT global warming.
I believe that a God who is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent has the wisdom to speak to all of us. IMO there are many paths to God. Christianity is merely one of them.
Dogma? I don't think so. You can't prove scientifically that God doesn't exist, so dodge the issue, just like you do when it comes to the Empty Suits failure as a leader. We certainly have change with the Bond downgrade. Conspiracy for big business to get him out of office? Your political values are as bankrupt as your religious views AND now as a result the nation stand at the brink. HAPPY?
Why does your omnipotent god require your worship and money? Why does your omniscient god require you to confess your sins? Why does your ominpresent god not know about dinosaurs, the way to the promised land, or think the earth is balanced on the back of a giant tortoise?
There is only one path to god. The eventual evolution of a sentient race to a point where we would be indistinguishable from your god. Well, not indistinguishable technically. We likely wouldn't get to that point with the need to act like an insecure five year old and beg for money from our "lessers." But for now, no path, because there is no god, therefore you really can't have a path to it. Pretty simple really...
